I'm using Brave at the moment. I'm still seeking a better browser. I'd love to lose the Chrome UI style, if nothing else.
> I've never had any performance complaints with Firefox
Lots of people don't. But lots of people do. My assumption is that Mozilla targeted their improvements at a particular sort of machine and if yours isn't close enough to that, then your performance is very poor.
For me, the turning point came last year (or the year before, I forget), when an update was released that caused FF to take between 3-5 minutes to start up. Nothing I did resolved this. That was the moment when I realized I just had to give up, that FF is unlikely to become a reasonable choice for me in the future. (Although prior to that, FF performance for me had been on a continual downslope ever since Quantum -- which itself didn't improve speed for me, but didn't harm it, either).
