I do highly prefer those two web browsers (for different purposes). π€π§ββοΈ
I would definitely agree when you say "some of the best web browsers", though just not very popular. π§ββοΈπ
They've also both gotten notably better in the time that I've been using them. There are various quite interesting new open-source browsers gaining attention, though I still haven't had the time to explore any of them in any depth yet. πππβ¨π€

I wonder if you have tested other less popular FOSS web browsers, such as #LibreWolf, #WaterFox, and #PaleMoon (and what your experiences were using them). π€π§ββοΈ
They (which are #Firefox forks) don't have their own adblockers, but they come bundled with a FOSS extension that does such functionality. π€π
I think that I've experimented with all of those at least once, and while I remember appreciating them, I also remember them not really having all the features that I need in a browser for daily use. πππβ¨π€

There are Internet !MEMEs !INDEED where while #Firefox is good overall, it still depends heavily on add-ons/extensions. π€π€―ππ€

Yes, and I used to use Firefox, before the organization that makes it went in such an unpleasant direction. Last I checked, they were on the edge of bankruptcy. That's one of the great things about Vivaldi, as it doesn't need a lot of extensions. πππβ¨π€

Well, if they do monolithic releases, then there's not much they can do about that unless the rewrite significant portions of its code. Incremental releases would also be rather interesting on Linux that uses official package repositories. πππβ¨π€

#BraveBrowser has three versions of its web browser !INDEED, which are the Stable, Beta, and Nightly releases. π€ The Stable version gets fewer updates but gets more changes per update (which is already apparently obvious). π
When updating certain apps on Linux, the updater downloads the entire release binary file (let's say 300 MB), and what gets actually added to disk after the update is just tiny (let's say just 10 MB), and there are occasionally times where a bit of disk space gets freed too. π€―π€
