So I've heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don't load...
So my question to you is, If I'm comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?
Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.
If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.
For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.

To me, the answer will always be "containers". Firefox containers were a game changer and I can never go back.

More people finding out every day that big tech is your enemy and should be treated as such.
That's a low-level Microsoft style move. Didn't thought Google will do it
Ditch chrome
Not really. It just has to keep a separate database for the cookies and local storage (or just an extra column?) not sure how it works underneath the hood, but there's no noticeable performance impact.
Can’t possibly slow it down anymore than it has been
Firefox is the way.
I actually deleted my google account yesterday. Felt so good. I'm finally free.

Ublock origin is a life changer. 😅
