I've been using Opera for a few years now and I've been enjoying its features, UI and everything. However, I (surprisingly to me) haven't noticed many people mentioning it. Also, when I was on Reddit and mentioned that I use it I got downvoted which left me somewhat confused haha.

So I'm wondering if there's anything wrong with it and/or if I should give another browser a go (I noticed Firefox is mentioned a lot on here)

I switched from Chrome to Firefox about a year ago, because it's just better for personal privacy and the freedom of the web as a whole. Brave would be my second choice, but FF lets you easily self-host a sync server for all your browsing data.

Brave is littered with crypto and replaces other ad networks with their own (which does tracking basically exclusively for them).

Steer clear, it’s a trap.

You can disable Brave ads and tracking pretty easy. A lot of the crypto stuff can be disabled too.
