I use Vivaldi. Is it still one of the best browsers? could you do a video on it please. Thanks

[ReapWithRick]

Good stuff. How about a similar video for Brave browser?

This applies pretty closely to Opera, which is derived from Chrome. Opera my default browser on desktop and mobile.

I made all those changes many years ago, shortly after I first started using Chrome, as it's not reliable for the best settings.

This is slightly off topic, but what do you think of Firefox now that their TOS has changed?

[nietzschescodes]

Nice and Useful. But at "Block Third-Party Cookies", why do you leave at on "Allow related sites to see your activity in the group"? Shouldn't it be turned at off?

[asahinayanase]

firefox has been my default browser for 6 years

Step 1. Uninstall it and choose a better browser.
