I have tried Avast secure browser before; its adblocker is near to Adblock plus, no more.
I have doubts regarding this ranking; Vivaldi is much better than Avast regarding adblocker.

The test was conducted in default settings, so I believe they're ranking Vivaldi based on that, but they did mention it could be improved by adding more filters. As for Avast, I think they paid to get a spot in the ranking.

I asked Brave Leo "What is the best privacy browser in the Middle East?" and it recommended "Kahf Browser," then I lost faith in its answers. 😞

The free Opera one is the proxy. The pro/paid one is the system wide VPN same as Brave.

Thanks. This is news to me. I have not used Opera for a while.

I used to use Opera as my main browser because I never liked Google Chrome, and for me it was the only real competitor until it was blocked in the region because it had a VPN service. But I recently noticed that it is no longer blocked. I don't know why, but the problem now is that its extension library is not as extensive as Chrome and Firefox.

As far as I know, the owner is now Chinese, but the development and headquarters are still in Norway.

Looks like even Brave faces geo-blocking

"apparantly ISP's in countries like Tanzania or Pakistan are blocking the download servers of Brave"
