i recently installed it, but haven't used it much because I run Firefox and Chromium.

Opera has its own VPN, and opinions vary on it. But it is - free.

Firefox I have difficulty logging into one site, and popups still plague me here or there, even though I have ad blocker ultimate and ublock origin installed. So it was time to try something new. Opera is now compatible with Linux.

without constant ad interruptions (a plugin, I believe).

I mostly use Safari on my Mac, but when someone posts a video I copy the link and paste it into a Firefox window that I keep open, pretty much dedicated to YouTube videos.

Like it. Pages load fast. I don’t understand brave rewards but I’m pretty sure I don’t care.

Can’t use brave to open links in emails. Don’t know why, but it seems that works only with edge.

In 'Default Programs' to use Brave to open HTML? (Assuming you're on Windows)

But when you click on a site link in an email, It doesn’t load properly. So I use edge gor opening email links. Otherwise my default browser is brave.

I run into so many sites that ask me to "allow" cookies, ads etc. Vivaldi does a wonderful job of blocking.
If I really need/want to get into the site (for exampleo uploading a video to Youtube) I will use Firefox.
