I could make some minor technical quibbling noises about a few of these, but uh yeah, seems like a quite reasonable overall assesment.
EDIT:
Oh dear god I am blind, I didn't notice he had Brave on the very top rank.
No, no no no.
Brave is trash.
Beyond getting bloated and slower over time...
... doing a whole bunch of crypto based funding and ""anonymizing"" to tie into an advertisement system...
...Peter Fucking Thiel, of Palantir, you know the fucking hyperwealthy dark overlord of data harvesting data and then selling dystopian surveillance tech to governments?
Who openly calls for hypercapitalism, corporate neofeudalism, whatever you wanna call it, actual cyberpunk dystopian nightmare society?
Yeah he was a major founding investor.
You'd have to be an idiot to think Brave is actually private or secure.
