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?
Eh, just fyi, you might not wanna do that. Multiple adblockers can interfer with oneanother and the result might be unpredictable/random. Also the generally considerd best adblocker uBlock Origin works best with firefox as the developer himself said. (ref. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox )
Hope you are using vpn, if not, you might want consider looking into that. (ref. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ )
