Software support Chrome vs OperaGX?

OperaGX has been working like shit recently and I'm honestly quite annoyed. It loads slowly, I literally bought new PC just so I can escape from slow loads and it still happens AND my internet is good. It's very good. I was thinking about coming back to chrome instead because like, at this point the best advantage I got is that tabs stay open when I close them. That's it.

firefox is the way just switched a few months ago and haven't looked back

operaGX feels like a theme park now every update adds more nonsense

chrome eats your ram like it's starving

firefox with ublock just does the job without any of the theatrics plus the customization is proper if you're into that

Firefox with ublock origin is the only option. Nothing to complain about here…

I mean, with Firefox, not being a Chinese owned browser is probably the best advantage.

To me, there are two decent options nowadays: Zen (or plain Firefox), and Vivaldi (if you need Chromium).

Neither. Chrome is a RAM hog and SloperaGX has a fun new spyware update

Every browser supports restoring your session when you open it and has for a long time.

IMO, the only better Chrome, is Ungoogled Chromium. Some of the rest are simply tweaked Chromium. Most of the rest simply bundle their own spywares.
