Brave and Vivaldi strike me as being at least not worse.

They're built on Chromium, they still reinforce the Chromium monoculture and expand Google's influence.

I thought that brave was caught injecting affiliate links. That alone makes it worse than anything mozilla has done.

		ill be in the strong minority here, and it should be opt-in, but if theres no affiliate link, i would be ok with my tiny marketshare browser capturing the extra. less ethical for them to be replacing other peoples affiliate links, but they are also blocking ads ... so, not exactly the most purely ethical product in the world anyway.

Those 2 browsers used a rendering engine developed by Google. It would not be wrong to consider them partial chromium reskins with all the technical dependency it entails.
