Which one is faster?

Some friends on Discord say that Opera could be better and, hell, some don’t understand why I use Mozilla Firefox to begin with outside of privacy concerns.

Apparently, Opera can do more and is faster.

Thoughts?

Think I should switch to Opera?

    What features are you looking for that Firefox is missing? Has performance been an issue? Don’t switch just to switch, do it because there’s a trade-off you think is better for your use case. In my personal experience, there’s nothing in Opera’s feature set that makes me want to switch, and if there are any performance gains I’d be surprised if they’re meaningful.

    For desktop Firefox or one of its derivatives (Librewolf is a popular pre-hardened option) is your best bet, alongside a backup Chromium browser like Brave for rare instances where a website doesn’t play nice with Firefox.

    On mobile, a Chromium browser like Brave is actually better for security over Firefox according to PrivacyGuides, but if you’re not overly concerned Mull is my mobile Firefox fork of choice.
