2. So many new browsers - Tor, DuckDuckGo. Amazing Vivaldi isn't on the list

There's so much more to do than test browsers. Takes 2-3 hours to install and get it up and running, then I don't know how to run it, so there's a learning curve. Chromium is invasive like most things Google, I really should use Vivaldi as my alt. Firefox I'm very dissatisfied with, it's slow to load on boot, hangs frequently, takes forever to shut down, and it doesn't handle Zoom well, i have to use Chromium for Zoom.
