any suggestion for a good opensource browser? Firefox is my main browser (and the only one recommended by privacytools.io), but having a chromium-based one is good to have too.

- Brave: it has been pushing opt-in-by-default ads and crypto widgets

- Vivaldi: 5% closed source

- Edge: not open source (yet?)

- Chromium: lacks too many features

vivalidi is open source https://vivaldi.com/source

you can't contribute to it like you can with something on github, but the source is open none the less

Per their own documentation, this is their patched version of Chromium and not the full browser (notably the UI HTML/JS code is not included): https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/privacy/is-vivaldi-open-sou...
