How safe is to use Brave beta on Linux? I want to use 2 chromium based browsers. Brave is the only one unfortunately and to use 2 instances of it i have to use Brave Beta. I use it very rarely though - only for government websites.
I read Madaidan Insecurities where it is stated that Firefox has worse security than Chromium. This is why i try to avoid all Firefox based browsers.
Why can’t you create a new profile on Brave and use that for whatever and however you want to compartmentalize and separate your activities?

I tried that. Most of the settings persist between profiles. When i use 2 brave instances i use different settings and configurations.
I use the stable version AND the beta version. This way i can have 2 chromium browsers. That’s the idea. What other chromium browser can i use? Vivaldi is closed source, chroium is Google and ungoogled is buggy.
That’s not true. No settings persist between profiles. I’m not sure what you’re doing and how but this is absolutely not the case. You can indeed have different settings and whatnot between profiles.

I know for certain that the encrypted dns toggle and the custom filter lists persist. So i cannot have different dns and blocklist settings between profiles. There could be some other settings as well.
Anyway my question was about the security of Brave Beta, not about profiles.
You’re going about this the wrong way if you ask me given what you’re trueing to do. But more power to you if you can find a solution for exactly how you want it even thought I feel it’s not the best way to go about it.
You do you.
That’s not entirely true. A few settings actually work cross-profile.
You can try cromite
Consider using distrobox. Set a separate home directory for your choice of distrobox distribution using the --home flag.
