With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Generally I keep running into a constant habit where the same extensions I use in chrome are having memory leaks or some crazy ram issue that just clogs firefox to death. Meanwhile I just don't have the time or patience to figure out and/or find alternatives to said extensions.

Then i'll switch back a few years later but it's been on and off. It's always Firefox becoming unusable with my workflow, which is just not easy to deal with.

To say nothing of adblock plus on firefox being able to block ads even on youtube.

I use Firefox, but I do run into a lot of problems with sites not working correctly. Makes me want to switch to Brave occasionally.

I personally use brave since a year, and it work like a charm.

Bought a new Pixel 7 Pro and wanted to use Firefox but scrolling was just so bad, lots of stuttering. Using Brave now and am very happy with it. You have to turn off some sneaky shit initially though.

What's the sneak stuff in Brave?
