Not exactly a new partner per se, more like some exes.
Not necessarliy dealbreakers. In fact, I'm thinking of giving Firefox a shot again. Using your relationships example as an extended metaphor, Firefox is the one that will always be there (packaged everywhere), will never leave you, unless you want them to, and while lacking a bit in the visual department (personal preference), is a stable choice for a "relationship".
Brave is the one that's hot, but crazy. It offers you an alternative way of doing things, and while a lot of people fall for it, personally, I'd prefer someone else.
Vivaldi is the one that looks good, and is stable, but might not always be with you (not packaged everywhere), and hides some things from you (not completely open source).
Fair points. I like your extended metaphors :). Go for it, you won't regret it. Try to just experience it, focus on what it is, and not what it isn't and you might you find yourself falling for it.
UI is very opinionated and sometimes you notice the differences at the start, but as you use it, you realise you could love it more :). I've found this with a few things (Matrix, Libre Office, GrapheneOS). I haven't discovered this with FF as i've been in a relationship with it for over a decade now :). I occasionally dabble in chrome stuff, but it the way they hate people that use more than 10 tabs is something I cannot handle.
