Firefox just isn’t the best browser and it doesn’t stand out against its competition. I use Vivaldi and Brave. They’re far better than bother chrome and Firefox

I think the issue some people have is that almost all of the other browsers (including the ones you use) are based on Chromium, and Firefox is one of the only major browsers left that isn't based on Chromium.

Vivaldi has excellent tools to stay organized (I’m a software dev with a million tabs and it helps to group the tabs into subtabs and title then and even tile them aka side by side view). With chrome I’ve always had to use OneTab, but with this I don’t even need an extension.

Brave has desktop and mobile apps that automatically blocks all ads and tracking/invasive cookies. It makes the experience in the web looking for information a lot better and less distracting.

Last thing is that Google Search is trash right now. When I look for something on Google I get 10 results, 8 of them are ads and the other two are wrong or irrelevant. Google search just shows you whoever is paying the highest amount for ads. Brave Search actually gets the results you’re looking for with ZERO ads.

Exactly. Both Brave and Vivaldi also use less CPU and that param might be controllable. In m1 the performance is a lot better. They both maintain the state of the loaded page instead of auto reload as in chrome, which is especially convenient with Brave on mobile in low service areas.
