I've been using Firefox for years now and the only issue I've had is that at work I can't download particularly large files from John Deere operations centre so I use another browser just for that. Everything else, which is literally everything as far as I'm concerned, has been a better experience for me than Chrome ever was. Also Brave uses chromium which is cringe.
I'd say it's worth the switch as if you care about privacy, Firefox just has more tools available to this end
Yeah, I'll definitely think about it web privacy is something I think about when I'm browsing so this is a big factor in my decision making. Though I've used Brave thus far, so may as well stick with it till chromium kills extensions.
On a side note, is setting up Firefox for privacy focused browsing difficult? I've seen in the past that you have to edit user.js files and stuff. If something like that is a one time thing then I'll probably think about switching, but if it's something I have to keep up with then I dunno.
Pretty similar case here Firefox for everything but my primary anime pirate site doesn't work on Firefox mobile so the only time I use chrome is when I want to watch anime on my phone
