Browser thread

My whole life I've used Brave as my main browser, and now I want to switch to try to achieve better performance on my computer. Which browser would you recommend for me nowadays?

firefox is not the best in RAM management but you should stick with firefox based browsers like zen if you want to get rid of google's chromium crap if you like the sidebar try zen, otherwise firefox will do
