I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

    I use Firefox, but only because I really don’t want to support Chromium’s monopoly. I do think that Chromium based browsers are better though.

      In which sense?

        Self fulfilling prophesy, since some developers think so they only optimize their websites for chromium which in turn makes it true.

        But in reality Firefox is perfectly capable and performant enough for everything.

          firefox recently even caught up to chrome on the speedometer benchmark, which is nice.

        This is not backed up by any data, but for me the experience on Chromium based browsers always seems faster and smoother, especially on modern, JS heavy sites.

        Also, I’m a sucker for feature rich applications and I really like how much stuff Vivaldi and Brave have built-in. This is extremely subjective though and I know there are many people who consider all of this a terrible bloat.
