from vivialdi website: Roughly 92% of the browserβs code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source
still way more sus than brave

use brave & mull, these guys goofin brave is open source - not spyware, dont have Web enviroment Integrity, you can turn the crypto stuff off and never worry about it. brave + has good ad block + youtube play in background + chrome web store
I think how you set up your browser would make a much bigger difference in privacy rather than using a firefox fork over brave.
download brave from github if your gonna get it tho google play is lame.
vivaldi probably does have spyware it lol. why would you choose an application that hides their code instead of making it open for everybody to see / improove? you dont need to be a programmer to know that any FOSS app with a following would get caught out instantly for pulling anything lame. Eg chromium prototyping web integrity api. you dont need to audit the code, just the fact that it is open makes it 99% more trustworthy as people are looking at the code all the time.
i bet half these people saying not to use brave use windows smh
idk who the guy who made brave is and what he does but the browser works and definately isnt spyware coz you can just go look at the code yourself
its open source tho, show me the spyware and i will belive you
brave browser is free and open source tho?
i really dont think the large amount of code thing is a good argument because of the way github works. any changes made are highlighted and you can look back at the history of changes. even if this theoretical spyware was implimented from the beginning people would know.
yeah I downloaded it from github and doubt its got spyware in it so i trust i dont need to compile it myself.
ppl are just hating coz they dont like some guy that has somthing to do with brave & all this brave is spyware stuff is based off of nothing.
vivaldi has closed source code that is completely trust me bro not spyware π€£
