I've been using Firefox since like 2010 and I don't regret it.
My one frustration with Vivaldi is that it's based on Chromium. Yes, it also has an adblocker, but I feel uBlock Origin is more effective! If there's anything like Vivaldi, but with the Gecko engine, I would like to try it
Another aspect that people ought to consider: monopoly is actually bad. Shocker, I know.
But if you have a corporate browser engine that pretty much controls the entire browser market, then whatever standard that browser implements it will automatically become the default. That's bad, Google is evil.
I've used Firefox for a over a decade, and switched from Google to duckduckgo around the same time.
So yeah, fuck Google. Never missed them.
But how long are they going support it is the question...
they will implement manifest v3 differently than chromium based browsers, it will not effect the functionality of adblockers
I'm a big fan of Brave. It blocks ads by default
Eh, Brave has some things going for it, like its search engine which is apparently quite good. On the other hand its still chromium and thus legitimizes the Google Monopoly. Besides that, the crypto bs they have pushed in the past and the past monetary contributions to homophobic causes by the founder are a red flag as well.
For easy plug-and-play Librewolf and Mullvad Browser are probably the best. Although for most people it would probably make sense to enable specific cookies for sites they visit often so they stay logged in. Though there are probably easy tutorials for that online. Or, even better, use a password manager like bitwarden and install its respective browser plugin.
Brave is just chrome with a crypto scam stapled on
I don't understand why it's so popular, I tried it out but it's just chromium with an adblocker and the crypto thing added (Which is a pain to disable it completely). It's not bad, but it is not as good as people says
Charitable answer: because people are too lazy and/or incompetent to install browser addons, which is really very easy to do
Suspicious answer: astroturfing
