Only thing that sucks is needing an account to sync your stuff around. Brave does this through a "sync chain" using a QR code/some big passcode, all without an email account. Not to mention the built-in adblocker, so less extensions are needed.

If Firefox had this, I'd come back.

I use Firefox as a Main Browser and Thorium(Chromium) as Second for PWM feature.

Then I hope you enjoy spyware.

Well… If you're okay with a unique browser ID for each installation or using a browser that contacts a 3rd party analytics company no matter your settings then Firefox is for you. Just fire Wireshark and see for yourself how much snitching Firefox does.

Also Mozilla isn't what people paint it to be, they've shady finances and are now hosting code at Github. Mozilla allegedly stands for a bunch of stuff that is be definition incompatible with hosting code on GitHub as it is

If you're serious about having a decent browser pick Ungoggled Chromium or LibreWolf.

In my younger days I used Firefox as me default browser on Windows. It was fun to tinker with. The add-ons were especially interesting. Things like greasemonkey let you lay over a custom script over the websites you visited. But when I started to concern myself about the security of all this tinkering, I stopped with running script that a very sympathetic Russian kid had created. So at that time I switched to Google Chrome and now I'm using Edge Chromium.

Firefox webdev tools are worthless. My heart belongs to Vivaldi. Nothing else comes closer.
