The writer is proposing Vivaldi, a closed-source browser, as an alternative to Brave, which is free and open-source. I think a better alternative would be Ungoogled Chromium.
Sure, but Firefox uses a different engine. On my systems, I always have both: a Mozilla-based browser as primary and a Chromium-based browser as secondary. If a site doesn’t work on one, it’ll work on the other.
I’m against ungoogled-chromium. I used it for a while and it feels like someone took a sledgehammer and smashed up all the Google parts without cleaning up afterwards. I stopped using it mainly because of security concerns.

Or… Firefox

What security concerns?
Poor site isolation and sandboxing means an attacker could access sensitive information much more easily through Firefox than Chromium.
Yeah I use Firefox & ungoogled-chromium
