Tabox - Save and Share Tab Groups for Chromium based browsers
Every now and again (sometimes after a software update) my Brave Dev browser loses its tab groups on restore. It always restores the 48+ open tabs, but my tabs are in Tab Groups, so I can collapse what I'm not busy with. This loss of the groups can be very irritating, and so far I had just not seen any extension that solves this, and none of the browsers seem to restore the groups.
Tabox though is saving the open tabs, along with groups (names and colours), and saves this locally on your drive. It has a sync feature too with Google Drive (optional), that will sync to your own GDrive (and not a third party site). I have a collection named for each browser I have open, and both named sessions show up in the cloud sync.
It will work on Chrome, Edge, Chromium, Brave, and should work too with Vivaldi and other Chromium based browsers.

How to Use Your Browser's 'Reader Mode' to Actually Read What You Click - For Chrome, there are some good Extensions too
Most of the time, you’re probably skimming the web instead of actually reading it. And that’s okay for quick news updates and browsing social media. But when you’ve opened up a long article that you actually want to read, things start to get difficult.
You find your mind wandering, and paying attention to the same page gets harder and harder. Don’t worry, the “reader” mode in your browsers will give you a fighting chance. These special modes are designed to make the web easier to read. They remove a given website’s formatting, empty space, ads, and all other extra elements to help you concentrate on the text, and some images.
The Chrome extension they mention is good, but some extra features do cost a once-off payment (at least its not a monthly subscription), but you can also consider an extension called Reader View by yokris.dev.

Brave vs. Firefox: Your Ultimate Browser Choice for Private Web Experience
It's true that Brave has a slight edge on Firefox when it comes to performance, as I've noticed the same thing. With an iPhone though, I've also noticed that the "send to" option from the browser on Linux does work with Firefox to the phone, but Brave does not see that phone even though it is synced.
Another issue can be if there is a specific extension that you need to use, and it may only exist for one of the browsers. For example vertical tab extensions work well with Firefox, but are a bit broken with Brave.
So there are always differences between browsers, and you need to test them thoroughly for your own scenario. Interesting that the Tor browser is not part of the comparison, but also worth noting that Brave has built-in Tor capability when opening new private tabs.

Brave and Firefox are two of the most popular web browsers for privacy-conscious users and open-source enthusiasts. Here's a comparison.

Profile-sync-daemon (psd) is a utility designed to manage your browser's profile in RAM to speed it up, and to periodically sync it back to your physical disc
We spend so much time working within browsers nowadays that this could be a useful utility for Linux users to dramatically speed up their browsers. Just note the cautions such as backing up your browser profile before first use. There is workaround under Issues for Brave browser users too, so this would need to be applied for Brave users.
The management in RAM is accomplished via a symlinking step and an innovative use of rsync to maintain back-up and synchronization between the two. One of the major design goals of psd is a completely transparent user experience.
