All the saying on the internet about bricking your Switch with third party docks, make me wonder how many people have really brick their system with third party docks.
Edit2:
It's save to say at the moment that none of the 3rd party docks and high voltage USB-C chargers (USB-C PD) are save to use without risking to brick your switch. Like mentioned in:

Edit:
Could the people who have been bricking their Switches tell which dock they are using and if the Switch is totally bricked (so even a 20 sec shutdown doesn't work)? Thanks
Also, I can't find much people on Amazon who are really bricking their systems. Most of the adapters stop working after some period of time or causing connection issues. I think it's thereby safely to say that the 3rd party docks works most of the time, but aren't reliable. Probably because the internal circuits aren't made for 15v but for 5v. Also bricking your Switch probably can be fixed under warranty, but you would lose your save-games.
Item I bought and works perfectly the first time (but I won't use it for a while): https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Type-C-to-4K-HDMI-USB-3-0-HUB-Converter-Adapter-for-Nintendo-Switch-S8-Macbook/253300986457?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=552450497857&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
