I don't know...at one point I got off Firefox because it was slow and I was never able to get back to it ever again. Maybe I should try now?

Do it. It's the only truly independent browser left.

It's not perfect, but it works, and unlike Chrome you can have full ad blocking with uBlock Origin.

> only truly independent browser

Only truly independent browser engine left. Firefox is entirely independent on google, but unlike its competitors this dependency is through direct cash payments.

With Brave you can have ad blocking built into the browser itself and not have to depend on a third party developer.

		And Brave's built-in blocker uses uBO's and other lists, including allowing trusted filters (which can inject high risk scripts into your sites) automatically. So yes, you are using 3rd party scripts already, and no, they can't monitor all of the commits from all those lists.

		The first party developer in case of Brave is arguably worse than most 3rd party developers elsewhere.

After I upgraded my laptop (Ryzen 2700 => 8845HS) it has felt as though Firefox is much closer to Chrome.

While I do not think that the gap narrowed when measured in CPU-cycles, it's just not very noticable when Firefox doesn't feel slow.

Why do you actually ask? Switching browsers has got to be one of the easiest software to switch, right?

		Is it? I have autofill/passwords, bookmarks, etc., and you can't easily jump between two different browsers as those will get out of sync.

They push millions of lines of code every year, thousands of patches and all kinds of measurable performance improvements so not sure what you're talking about.

		the 2% marketshare. I'm talking about 2% marketshare that they got from being de-facto standard, to 2%
