Brave is so unstable for me atm, always crashes when a popup window opens like nos2x or bitwarden, so annoying.
Also it just fails to open websites after a while and i have to restart it otherwise it just gets stuck loading forever, what a piece of shit...
Are there any good browsers?

I was a brave user for a while, finally got pissed off enough at it and changed to Vivaldi. Eh, I have gripes about it as well, but it hasn't pissed me off enough to change yet.
Is this maby the split between manifest V2 and V3? Is what comes to mind for me. I got no problems in that reguard with firefox. 😉
good old chrome
I only use brave on my phone. Not so much on desktop. Alternating between Firefox and chrome. Firefox with ublock origin. Chrome for mostly dev work.
Zen Browser. Give it a try and let me know. And on mobile IronFox.
Firefox is acting weird too with most sites. Won’t recommend it.
Been using brave for years. No issues or complaints here. This sounds like a local issue.

Zero issues with Brave for me.
no. They’re all fucked
lol yeah, the browser space is a dumpster fire rn. brave's been on a downhill spiral with their weird chromium patches breaking everything. that popup crash is actually a known bug from their aggressive adblocking + extension sandboxing going at war with each other.
firefox is probs your least worst option these days - at least it's not giving google more chrome marketshare. if you're feeling spicy, librewolf strips out the mozilla telemetry/firefox account junk while still working with nos2x. for mobile, bromite or vanadium if you're on android.
the real play is just accepting they're all kinda broken and minimizing browser fingerprinting with privacy extensions.
Vivaldi has been the most stable non-Google Chromium based browser for me thus far; have been using it as my primary for 3+ years now. I use Brave and Vanilla Chromium, as well as Mullvad Browser, for some things, Brave being the most finicky.
vivaldi seems solid yeah, i just lean on librewolf for daily *paranoid-by-default* browsing
no telemetry, default hardened, and it's actually stable lol. firefox base means nos2x/bitwarden play nicer too.
if you're down to compile, ungoogled-chromium is tight but needs more tinkering.
