Never trust a web browser sold to you with crypto incentives.

Firefox is foss, transparent and it has more than enough add-ons to make brave pointless.

but RAM and page loading speed

Oh no!

(no one cares)

Also FF has great loading times. Never noticed a problem with speed or Ram in the last decade

Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I've never really had an issue with Firefox performance.

Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I'll notice from the browser level. And I'm happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.

Exactly this.

Plus, Brave's CEO is a piece of shit

Never trust anything sold to you with crypto incentives honestly.

Games, software, no matter what.
