I’ve liked Firefox in the past on school computers, but lately I’ve been using brave on all my devices.

I love Brave, with its built in adblockers PLUS the ability to install more on top of it, so you can turn one off and still have protection. It feels pretty streamlined.

As someone who pirates stuff pretty frequently too, all of its pop up blockers make me feel more safe.

Should I make a switch to Firefox, and if so, why?

    just a small correction: Safari (and some other minor browsers with small user bases) uses it’s own rendering engine aswell (Webkit, which Blink is actually a fork of). They also enforce the use of their rendering engine for any browser on iOS and iPadOS.

      This is correct, so I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Sorry about that.

      I just didn’t include Safari because it’s not actually cross-platform. I’ve been long disappointed that they gave up on making their browser available for Windows/Linux, because we do need more browsers in the market.
