  • 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.

    In the sense that they are both Chromium? In that case it's just Vivaldi as well.

    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).
