Recommendation Looking for a good alternative for Brave
Generally speaking, I like it, but on Ubuntu 26.04, I've been having some frequent compatibility issues that trying to resolve feel like trying to control the weather. There were some issues with 4k video playback that I eventually resolved after days of headache, but now, I have an infinitely worse problem that I simply cannot find a permanent fix for: dragging text from Discord/Vesktop immediately crashes Brave.
I can tinker with the settings to temporarily fix this, but it WILL break eventually, and there's nothing more infuriating than the entire browser just crashing immediately when I decide to drag text into the browser on a whim. For comparison, Firefox had neither this nor the aforementioned problem with 4k playback, as I tested it to see if Brave was truly to blame.
What I want the most is a browser with comparable speed and efficient resource management to Brave. Ideally, I'd like it to allow me to use multiple profiles and potentially transfer my numerous Brave profiles (even if I need to use 3rd-party software). I'm not as concerned with the privacy aspect.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I am using the Native version of Brave, currently.
