Then I hope you enjoy spyware.

Well… If you're okay with a unique browser ID for each installation or using a browser that contacts a 3rd party analytics company no matter your settings then Firefox is for you. Just fire Wireshark and see for yourself how much snitching Firefox does.

Also Mozilla isn't what people paint it to be, they've shady finances and are now hosting code at Github. Mozilla allegedly stands for a bunch of stuff that is be definition incompatible with hosting code on GitHub as it is

If you're serious about having a decent browser pick Ungoggled Chromium or LibreWolf.

In my younger days I used Firefox as me default browser on Windows. It was fun to tinker with. The add-ons were especially interesting. Things like greasemonkey let you lay over a custom script over the websites you visited. But when I started to concern myself about the security of all this tinkering, I stopped with running script that a very sympathetic Russian kid had created. So at that time I switched to Google Chrome and now I'm using Edge Chromium.

I use both for different personal uses.

Chrome for my convenient daily living life.

Firefox for things like anonymous accounts as well as email masking and for things like Spotify manipulation with xManager or ReVanced.

I tried, nearly every system I tested it on (Physical and virtual, 16 GB RAM to 64, Windows, MacOS and Linux (Ubuntu and Arch)) it bogs down and crashes after 60-100 tabs. FF has performance issues and can't keep up with me, chrome might eat a lot of ram to do it, but at least it'll keep up at 300, 400, 600+ tabs.

Unfortunately, I can't switch until these performance problems have been fixed :(

Edit: lol at the downvotes for bringing up a legit potential issue

Edit2: lmao, c/Firefox: come over to Firefox and our community we're welcoming. (As long as you only talk about how perfect and infallible FF is)

At least you can get 60 tabs. Firefox brings my RAM to 98% just by starting it, and if I try to open more than 3 tabs it becomes the next victim of the OOM killer.

At this point, there's no real clear winner. All browser companies have some sort of shit to them. It's really a matter of which bowl of shit you're willing to tolerate.
