  • Brave sells Origin to strip added features—a $60 one-time fee (free on Linux).
  • Origin removes email aliases, Leo AI, VPN, Wallet, Speedreader, and more via a toggleable panel or standalone client.
  • You can buy Origin on Brave Premium or enable the panel at brave://settings/system.

      a couple minutes to click through vivaldi’s settings will turn off all the annoying stuff (similar to firefox, but firefox is quicker to ‘set up’). i’ve never seen it re-enable things like microsoft loves to do.

      vivaldi is what i use for a chromium-based browser when i need to check web client ‘compatibility’; and i like that you can customize the toolbar (like you can in firefox)… i move the back-forward stuff to the right side of the address box, and add the separate search box (so suggestions can be enabled in it but off for searches in address bar).

        Not really, it has some patches from ungoogled-chromium, brave, and others. But it doesn’t use Brave’s ad blocker, bundles uBlock Origin instead.
