Advice Request Which browser is the most feature-rich?

Please provide comments and solutions that are helpful to the author of this topic.
Sadly, Microsoft Edge, it only lacks built-in ad blocking (unless you are on Android).

I still use Brave Browser on Android though, and I use Microsoft Edge on Windows & Linux.

If Brave Browser were to get some or all the Microsoft Edge features I like, then I would switch back to Brave Browser, or Mozilla Firefox if it were to get built-in ad blocking & fix the spell check bug.

Their forum is full of users having issues with AdBlock not working on YT. They should really stop advertising it as the main feature.

A lot of people write about Vivaldi, but what features are really good there? In my opinion, it's a browser for people who need a mail client and calendar from a small company, not from a big American (Chinese, Russian) corporation and that's all. :)

Opera is fairly good, but Edge is already breathing down its neck. Already appeared Drops - analogue of Flow, soon to come video enhancement from NVIDIA, which will make Lucid Mode is not a unique feature (though I do not know whether to expect this feature for owners of the 20-series NVIDIA? I have a 2080 in my laptop).

Brave has a billion of useless features, the only ones I like are fingerprint tracking protection and a built-in TOR in private mode (I never used it, but it's cool all the same). Meanwhile, it still has 100 of usability issues compared to Opera and Vivaldi.

Also, another big minus for me in Brave and Vivaldi is the translator from Lingvanex - it's incredibly bad.

Right now I think the most interesting browsers are Opera and Opera GX, but in the future it will probably be Edge.

I understand that Vivaldi is feature rich, but it seems rather too rich and unfocused. I know it's a bad analogy, but I get the impression that it is complicated by cramming in unnecessary stuff that some users won't use.

@bellgamin
I too use Slimjet. I like the simplicity of it.:)
