Pros + Cons

Pro
 Fully Open Source

See here.
Comment

Pro
 Allow extensions

Comment

Pro
 Somehow allows extensions but with hic-ups

Allows extensions but not full option and does not have full compatibility. You must first save addons setting to file from desktop version and after that upload it to this. Other way is very painful and needs a lot of time and nerfs. Wwithout extensions on Android this is as useless as any other Chrome clone.

New update does not block ads on any site even with extensions installed.

Comment

Con
 Does not sync with Google account

Comment

Con
 Hypocritical/deceptive stance on privacy and advertisement

Brave is advertised as a browser that respects your privacy and blocks ads while still supporting content creators. However, at the same time the company is making deals with Facebook, Twitter and others to whitelist their trackers and ads.
Comment

Pro
 Safety and privacy well taken care of

Things like https everywhere and no tracking are standard with Brave. In most other browsers, things like these are optional at best.
Comment

Con
 Doesn't remove search engine ads

Comment

Con
 Power hungry, uses much more battery power than other browsers

Per default Brave enables hardware acceleration which results in a much higher energy (battery) consumption than the most other web browsers.
Comment

Pro
 Built in adblock

Contains an optional "Allow Brave Acceptable Ads" So you can support the site you truly enjoy.
Comment

Pro
 Built-in adblocking

Other apps make it difficult to block ads without rooting your phone or going through unoptimized add-on stores, but Link Bubble blocks them out of the box, making browsing much less crowded. Contains an optional "Allow Brave Acceptable Ads" So you can support the site you truly enjoy.
Comment

Con
 Brave is an Ad company

Brave Software is a for-profit company (though users must opt into Brave ads and Brave doesn't track users.)
Comment

Pro
 Very fast

The fastest browser out there.
Comment

Con
 Still dependent on Google

Since it's based on Chrome.
Comment

Con
 Download package is very large considering it as a browser

Brave takes on a lot of roles besides just browsing so it is understandably a larger file.
Comment

Pro
 Takes care of privacy and security

Takes privacy seriously by blocking ads and trackers and not tracking people's searches. Things like HTTPS everywhere and no tracking are standard with Brave. In most other browsers, things like these are optional at best.
Comment

Con
 Quite intrusive advertisements, especially on Windows

Advertisements keep popping up in the Windows notification center. Must opt in to ad system, but no option to disable sound for ad notifications only.
Comment

Con
 Uses Google as its default search engine

Quite ironic for the "privacy" browser.
Comment

Con
 Can't disable tab groups, like on Chrome

If you're on mobile (iOS or Android), Brave no longer lets users choose between vertical/stacked tabs or tab grid view.
Comment

Pro
 Option to disable additional privacy concerns

Like fingerprint tracking.
Comment

Pro
 Optional feature for you to get reimbursed for viewing ads

Basic Attention Token; you can decide to opt into a new blockchain-based digital advertising system, giving publishers a better deal and users a share of the ad revenue for their attention.
Comment

Pro
 Tor is available right in the browser

Comment

Con
 Promotes search engines that track users such as Bing and Google

Google Search is the first search engine on the list.
Comment

Con
 Proudly US standard: scam and exploit

Maintains country bubble same as Google. They reveal to all sites your country and precise location: "variations_safe_seed_permanent_consistency_country":"*","variations_safe_seed_session_consistency_country":"*"
Comment

Pro
 Developed by creator of Mozilla and Javascript

Comment

Pro
 Faster than Google Chrome

Brave consistently beats Chrome in speed, might have to do with less tracking being run in the background.
Comment

Con
 Appearance

No options to customize appearance, and make the bookmarks appear on the home page, for instance.
Comment

Pro
 Now supports Chrome Webstore

It's now a faster, less intrusive Chrome.
Comment

Pro
 Planned optional feature for you to get reimbursed for viewing ads

Basic Attention Token; you will be able to opt into a new blockchain-based digital advertising system, giving publishers a better deal and users a share of the ad revenue for their attention.
Comment

Pro
 Option to pay supported sites based on view time percentage

Set up automatic micro-donations. Brave will automatically divide a monthly donation among the top sites you visit. And/or, you can decide which sites get what percentage of your donation. It’s called pinning.
Comment

Pro
 Free/libre software

Released to the community under the Mozilla Public License (MPL), this software respect the FSF's four freedoms, including the freedom to use, modify, and redistribute with or without modification freely.
Comment

Con
 Sync issues

Unable to sync extensions, no cloud sync (only device sync).
Comment

Pro
 Uses duckduckgo in Private Window

Duckduckgo is the default search engine whenever TOR window or guest/private window is enabled.
Comment

Pro
 Built in Adblock

Contains an optional "Allow Brave Acceptable Ads" So you can support the site you truly enjoy.
Comment

Pro
 Functionality can be extended with add-ons

Just like with the desktop version, you can install a wide range of add-ons from 10 different categories.
Comment

Pro
 Great efficient and intuitive UI

The scrolling and response is generally faster than Chrome on my Android devices.
Comment

Pro
 Sync with desktop browser

Keep track of all your bookmarks, passwords, open tabs, and history on the go.
Comment

Pro
 Fast

With new integrations focused on security and performance, Firefox is faster and less likely to have problems during use than ever before.
Comment

Pro
 Free, open source and community driven

Firefox is available as a free download. All Mozilla software is licensed under the Mozilla Public License. Instructions on how to obtain the source code can be found here.
Comment

Pro
 Respects your privacy

Mozilla is one of the first browsers that advocates privacy. They believe that internet should be in the user's control and not those who run the websites, and so they give tools inside the browser to make the user be more in control.
Comment

Pro
 Open source

Open Source means that you can see the source code. So everybody even if they don't work for Mozilla is able to look what the browser does in the background. So you can be 100% sure that Firefox doesn't have hidden "spy features" unlike Google Chrome.
Comment

Pro
 Strong HTML5 feature support

Firefox scores strongly on HTML5 feature support.
Comment

Con
 Uses Google as its default search engine

Which is pretty ironic for a browser that's focused on "privacy".
Comment

Pro
 A lot of add-ons

An enormous number of add-ons.
Comment

Pro
 Integration with Pocket

Firefox comes with built-in Pocket integration that can allow users to quickly save the article for a read it later function to easily find any articles saved in Pocket from various sources and devices.
Comment

Pro
 Really independent browser

It's not dependent on Google.
Comment

Pro
 One of the few browsers not using Chrome's Blink engine

Firefox uses its own rendering engine (called Gecko), instead of Google-controlled Blink like the vast majority of other browsers.
Comment

Con
 Very poor compatibility with modern sites

Very poor on HTML5, bad to worse on svg/xml rendering. Very bad on alpha channel/transparency, distorts High Resolution Images. Very bad color management.
Comment

Con
 Sometimes very buggy and slow

On sites like twitch.tv chat scrolling is still not fixed. Compared to other browsers Firefox is still very slow and feels sluggish.
Comment

Con
 Terrible user interface

And you can't even fix it anymore because they removed XUL.
Comment

Con
 Crappy license

Cannot redistribute binary after source code modification.
Comment

Con
 Installs Addons with updates

Mozilla is installing/integrating addons with every update like the Mr. Robot promotion - it also has integrated Pocket that spams you every time you open the browser or a new tab with partners of Pocket.
Comment

Con
 Some built-in advertising

With their new "pocket" feature, they offer advertisements built-in.
Comment

Con
 Stops rendering pages after a while

Data for the page are loaded but empty screen is displayed
Comment

Con
 Multi Profile is not user friendly

Multi profile requires commandline -no remote to use and open about:profiles to create manually (on Chrome, you can instantly create them on right top user button).
Comment

Con
 Doesn't care for its original guidelines/goals

Mozilla originally aimed to be the "good guys" with user choice and privacy in mind. Their current leadership cannot be trusted to hold those goals in high regard: 1) Added Pocket - a privacy data sensitive plugin, made it mandatory 2) Tried to sneak in advertisement as "drive-by hack", backpedaled unconvincingly once users complained 3) Tried to randomly inject a small percentage of Firefox downloads in Germany with a data collecting plugin (Cliqz) that tech-savy Germans consider adware (no opt-out question asked).
Comment

Pro
 HTML5, mobile video support

Firefox for Android supports HTML5, and with support for multiple video formats, you can watch videos right in the browser.
Comment

Pro
 Uses less resources

Firefox 57 (Quantum) and newer uses less resources than ever. It is proven with benchmark done by AppleInsider.
Comment

Pro
 High performance

The Firefox Quantum update (FF57) greatly increases the render speed and general performance of the browser, by taking better advantage of the user's hardware.
Comment

Pro
 Built-in reading mode

Integrated readers mode makes reading content easy.
Comment

Pro
 Strong developer tool

The built-in developer tools have been merged with the popular FireBug extension since FF57
Comment

Pro
 Ethical and pragmatic company mission

The Mozilla Manifesto outlines the company's mission and principles. Paraphrasing, they want the Internet to be a free and open resource, and to enable individuals to get the best use of that resource. They do this by creating open source software to which anyone may contribute, so long as such contributions fit with their principles (both ethical and technical).
Comment

Con
 Can't play flash videos

Due to security concerns, Firefox does not include Flash support by default.
Comment

Pro
 Automatically updated

Firefox is automatically updated on the platforms where it makes sense.
Comment

Pro
 Lower memory fingerprint than competitors

Firefox used to be a trailer in memory usage, but as of 2017 it's less hungry for memory than competitors like Edge, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
Comment

Con
 Cannot zoom in Mac like Safari and Chrome

When you pinch to zoom, the page breaks, while in Safari, the zoom is smooth and feels like real zoom.
Comment

Con
 When you search in a website (Ctrl + F) there are no marks appearing in the right scrollbar

All Chromium based browsers have this feature.
Comment

Con
 Reading mode removes images and videos

Reading mode removes everything that's not text, even if it's desired content.

 Built-in ad and tracker blocker

Vivaldi has a built-in blocker that allows you to select between blocking just trackers or both trackers and ads. With customizable blocking list sources, good performance, and support for all the standard blocker list features you find in ad blocker extensions (with more to come), you might not need an ad blocker extension at all. This also comes in handy on Android, where Chromium/Vivaldi doesn't support extensions.
Comment

Pro
 Dark theme out of the box

There's even an option to automatically transition from light to dark based on the time of day.
Comment

Pro
 Notes

A notes panel allows to save notes from webpages and can include screenshots for reference and have tags and organized in folders to help manage them. Thumbnails are too small and Notes do not have separate page in settings, but it should, there are a lot of things to improve.
Comment

Pro
 Tab bar position can be changed

You can change tab bar position to top, bottom left or right.
Comment

Con
 No Fingerprint Protection

Vivaldi doesn't include fingerprint randomization like Brave does by default or configured Firefox/ Librewolf.
Comment

Con
 Can't disable all telemetry

Vivaldi needs some amount of knowledge about the amount of active users, for business deals.
Comment

Con
 Sponsored bookmarks

Vivaldi has a number of preinstalled bookmarks, like Amazon. On some occasions, new bookmarks have been added when the browser updates. All of these bookmarks can be deleted, same as any other bookmark.
Comment

Con
 Window size and resizing on Mac is broken

Comment

Con
 Some non-optional telemetry

According to its privacy policy, Vivaldi sends an approximate location (country or major city), randomized ID, version, cpu architecture, screen resolution (to know what screen sizes to test on) and time since last message every 24 hours (to know amount of active users).
Comment

Con
 Not available on iOS/iPadOS

There is an Android version of Vivaldi, but no iOS/iPadOS version yet. iPhone and iPad users are out of luck for the time being.
Comment

Pro
 Reader mode

Vivaldi has a built-in reader mode so you can remove all the clutter in news pages and read only the content, you can also customise the reader mode, like font size, style and colours.
Comment

Pro
 Synchronisation

Everything can be synced with a Vivaldi account. Though there's still no mobile version, you can sync between computers and OSes.
Comment

Pro
 Lots of features and customizability

Vivaldi has a lot of features and customizability. Far more then most (perhaps all) other browses, and many to list them all individuality as separate pros.
Comment

Pro
 Ensures that browsing is super fast

No trackers and ads are downloaded to your device, that's why pages load very quickly.
Comment

Pro
 Protects your privacy

Nobody can track what you are doing online, so your privacy is fully protected.
Comment

Pro
 Blocks all the ads before they get downloaded to your device

Blocks all the annoying ads: pop-ups, banners, stoppable and non-stoppable video ads, auto-play audio ads, etc.
Comment

Pro
 Saves battery life, money and data

Ads and trackers consume much data while they are downloaded. And you have to pay for this internet traffic. Free Adblocker Browser doesn't let foxy trackers and ads be downloaded, so you don't have to pay for this additional data. Plus, it doesn't drain your battery.
Comment

Pro
 Blocks all the trackers

Advertisers are watching what you are doing online, what websites you are visiting. Free Adblocker Browser blocks all of those.
Comment

Pro
 Easy to install

Comment

Pro
 Blocks all ads

You don't get interrupted or annoyed while browsing.
Comment

Pro
 Ensures fast browsing

Because no ads and trackers are downloaded, pages load very quickly.
Comment

Pro
 Keeps you safe from malware, viruses, and other scams

The Browser warns you if the website can bring some damage to your device.
Comment

Pro
 Friendly interface

Comment

Pro
 Blocks trackers and keeps your online privacy protected

Because no trackers are downloaded to your device, advertisers and third parties can't track what you are doing online.
Comment

Pro
 Less data consumption - therefore, less money for mobile traffic

Almost 50% of data consumption goes to downloading ads and trackers. And you have to pay for this. With Free Adblocker Browser, you don't have this problem. You get more at a lesser cost.
Comment

Con
 Android only

Free adblocker browser broke iOS support.
Comment

Con
 Not really free

To use advanced options you have to pay.
Comment

Pro
 Doesn't ruin the page when it refreshes

It reloads the last loaded webpage when it tries to refresh and you don't have internet service.
Comment

Con
 Another bloatware of both chrome and firefox

This browser describes itself as a fast ad blocking browser that is better than chrome and safari. But in fact, its just another bloatware of firefox and chrome. E.G. uses google.
Comment

Con
 Owned by a advertizing company

The same company that brought yahoo.
Comment

Con
 Depends on Yahoo

Since it's based on Yahoo.
Comment

Con
 Unable to block Verizon media trackers

Comment

Con
 Has Yahoo as its default search engine

Which is quite ironic for this "privacy" browser with Verizon Media.
Comment

Con
 Lacks tracker blocking features on websites you visit

Comment

Con
 Has odd behavior

When you leave the app and go back in, it lets you go back to the top of the page, rather than where you are.
Comment

Con
 Lags and freezes

Something needs to be done about it.
Comment

Con
 Same security holes as Yahoo

Cake uses the same browser as Yahoo, meaning that it has the same security holes as Yahoo. Yahoo is also a big target for hackers, and a web page that will hack Yahoo also will hack cake.
Comment

Pro
 Good for Chromebook users

With this app, Chromebook users can surf through the web privately, even though it uses Google.
Comment

Pro
 Always secure 24/7

Comment

Pro
 Fast

Even faster than Google Chrome.
Comment

Pro
 Adblock

Blocks ads.
Comment

Pro
 Less bloated than Google

Ad settings are removed.
Comment

Con
 Mobile-only

Cake is currently available on mobile only. Due to the screen size, cake is not available on windows, linux, etc.
Comment

Con
 Dumbed down its latest versions

Before, Cake almost felt like DuckDuckGo. Now it's dumbed down, it almost feels like Chrome/Chromium. For example, it's still not secure on websites you visit.
Comment

Con
 DuckDuckGo has many 'Owners'

DuckDuckGo is owned by Gabriel Weinberg who is is the founder, current CEO and controlling shareholder. Investors/shareholders include Union Square Ventures and several others(see here). DuckDuckGo generates it’s income from advertising (Bing Ads) and collects affiliate revenue (Amazon, eBay).
Comment

Con
 Owner would compromise his service/customer privacy

In a question to Weinberg, “if you were served an NSL or were commanded to compromise your service/customer privacy in any way, would you and could you just pull the plug like Lavabit did or would you run into opposition from shareholders/investors that would prevent you from doing so?” Gabriel Weinberg said: “No one is preventing me from doing that.”
Comment

Con
 Bangs do not protect user privacy and can be misleading

Using these bangs will instantly connect you to the service you requested. For example typing “!g white cat with green eyes” and hitting return, drops you off on the Google website to display your results (thus logging your IP, search term and browser info immediately). It does not get you Google results inside DuckDuckGo. It is reasonable for DDG users to assume and expect a private search engine warns if there is a risk to that privacy being lost, like it does with Youtube videos but in the case of Bangs this does not happen.
Comment

Con
 Downranks "misinformation" results

Company announced that they are downranking misinformation results about the war by Russia media, after Russian's invasion of Ukraine.
Comment

Con
 Bing = DuckDuckGo

It uses Bing for the query.

Con
 Based in US, so they cannot guarantee there is no backdoor

Comment

Con
 Search results are often unrelated and limited

Common conversions do not work, i.e. searching for 15F to C does not give you the conversion but just a bunch of conversion websites. Very frustrating. It's a simple thing but makes a huge difference to the browsing/searching experience. Also location based only works for the country you're in. Searching for, say, McDonalds only gives country results for McDonalds and no local results such as where a local restaurant may be. Not very helpful.
Comment

Con
 DuckDuckGo and Yahoo Partnership

See here and here.
Comment

Con
 Horrible search results

They store no information about you (theoretically a pro) but this results in absolutely awful search results, and having to modify your search terms 4-5 times to get what you are looking for.
Comment

Con
 Activism censorship

They started to block results based on activism.
Comment

Con
 Referrers

A referrer is an HTTP header field that identifies the address of the webpage (i.e. the URI or IRI) that linked to the resource being requested. By checking the referrer, the new webpage can see where the request originated.” Basically it tells a website where you came from. DDG does give this out.
Comment

Con
 Shows too few images

When searching for images only, it shows too few of them and only a handful are related to the search terms.
Comment

Con
 Still not better than Google

Results are quite often not as good. They just lack resources to do it, for now.
Comment

Con
 No date information in search results

In search results, there are no dates when the pages were published, which doesn't allow you to immediately know if the page is outdated.
Comment

Con
 Not available on Apple devices

There is a version on Android, but no version yet on Apple devices. Apple users are out of luck for this privacy browser.
Comment

Pro
 Very protective of user privacy

DuckDuckGo does not collect or share any personal information. Their privacy page has a great rundown on why privacy is important. The most important repercussion of this is that DDG doesn't use the data collected to tailor results, avoiding exposure to the "Filter Bubble".
Comment

Pro
 Ads are non-obstructive and don't track you

The ads are clearly labelled as ads and are non-obstructive. The ads are based on the searched keywords and there's no tracking involved on their visibility. You just need to remember that the site the ad links to might track you.
Comment

Pro
 Can browse two tabs at once

Atlas has a dual pane view that shows two pages side by side.
Comment

Pro
 Stores preferences on per-site basis

The browser can be set to remember which sites need to be shown in desktop mode, with certain content filtering settings, etc.
