Thread details
In order of longevity, it is Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, and Opera.
I'm currently focusing on Brave and Vivaldi because they both have strong support and resources and show respect for user privacy and feedback.
Brave chances are higher to survive compared to Vivaldi; Vivaldi comes no 7 after Yandex
Even though I’ve read the explanation provided by support, I still don’t understand why Brave fails this test when third-party cookies are disabled in the settings:
Are Third-Party cookies enabled in my web browser?
With Firefox, too, it’s always possible to block third-party cookies whenever the user chooses.

Both Brave and Vivaldi share a similar history: each CEO previously led browser development projects before leaving to create their own browser with new ideas, so both bring incremental experience compared with newer entrants.
That's odd,I just tested the link in both browsers: Brave shows "Yes" while Vivaldi shows "No."

and both share a built-in adblocker; it's only Brave's one is more capable and they do marketing more successfully.
Even if you set a policy, it doesn't make a difference; Brave still fails the test.
I have reached a reasonable protection by Brave through adding hagezi pro to its ad blocker; no more popup ad windows on media piracy websites.
Only uBO, uBOL, and AG could provides such a level, not Vivaldi, not Ghostery.
Can you watch videos on this site with that setup without redirect links or pop-ups appearing every 10 seconds when you click the media controls?
I do not stream; just download.
While using Brave with built-in filter lists or Vivaldi even with hagezi, I have to pass through several popups until I reach the download link.
One of them do not even accept to load properly with Brave + hagezi pro; I have to use uBOL to work.
What are you doing in your day to day surfing, that you notice this difference, other than using Speedometer to evaluate things?
With Brave set to aggressively block trackers and ads, I'm as happy as a clam with how its working.
I've already noticed that YouTube videos start faster on Brave browser compared to other browsers.
Reduced to 8.9 %.
P.S.
Having too many extensions enabled slows down your browser.
Now I only have 2 extensions that are always enabled.

I agree, if we didn't have that webpage to evaluate the browsers "speed", would we even notice, unless it was enough to notice when using a different browser?
If I'm not noticing a difference, I go with what I like using, and its features
edit: the thing I would notice is if a AV's browser extension were slowing things down, or a VPN.

You need to compare it with another browser.
I knew I had forgotten something.
This is the same test with Firefox and uBlock Origin.

This means that Firefox performs better in the test than Vivaldi.
Nice edit, as I just edited my post above with a couple of additions that could slow a browser downReduced to 8.9 %.
