Each alternative is not without it's own faults. Brave continuously tries to prompt and default peddle the same kind of things as being denounced here and Vivaldi is all kinds of slow and memory heavy due to the way the custom browser experience is implemented. Ungoogled Chromium is probably the best option for someone that puts this kind of stuff first but for the average user it is a nightmare out of the box (clears 1st party cookies on close, doesn't handle drm content out of the box, doesn't have a sync, requires manual extension install, has default settings that will break many sites in the name of privacy). Again good things for that crowd just not for most people.

Even Firefox is pushing stuff like pocket by default and that's an open source non profit browser from the old times!
