I use vanadium (and graphine) on my phone but I use Brave on my desktop.
Until last year I had been using Firefox since around 2007, but I started having awful performance issues.
I ran a ton of tests on a large variety of browsers (including some niche early development browsers) and Brave (with every BS feature disabled) outperformed all of the others by a wide margin.
If there was a foss browser with functioning adblock, no BS features or political ideologies, and reasonable performance, I would switch right away... But all 3 is a tall order.
Also, I wanna note, before I switched I tried every Firefox config and all of the performance focused forks. I tried messing with memory usage and hardware acceleration, and even running it in sandboxes/flatpak... Either way it would consume tons of resources at idle, and would sometimes crash my machine when I kept it running while starting up my hypervisor or blender or my IDE or a resource hungry game.
Brave just works, and has functional adblock.
so is there a reason one of the browsers I listed above + ublock origin (not the lite version , Mv2 still exists on Cromite and Ungoogled) won't work for your usecase?
I don't think trivalent existed yet when I did my tests, and I didn't realize Mv2 still worked on ungoogled chromium. I feel like I might have suspected that support would get pulled eventually, but it has been more than a year. I use ungoogled chromium for some web based HID driver stuff.
Might as well give them a try!
