Firefox + Ublock Origin blows Google Chrome out of water.

In adittion to this make sure to disable the telemetry that's on by default. If you want even better protection from fingerprinting etc, use arkenfox/librewolf (librewolf being preconfigured fork of firefox)

I'd also recommend disabling Normandy in Firefox.
