Privacy-Focused Alternative

Ad-blocking privacy browser

Brave offers better privacy than Opera due to its default ad and tracker blocking and its commitment to user privacy. While Opera offers a built-in VPN and ad blocker, it still collects some user data and is owned by a Chinese company, which raises concerns about potential government access to user data. Brave's focus on blocking ads and trackers by default and its independent operation make it a more privacy-conscious choice for secure browsing.
