I prefer Brave to either of those.

I have respect for Brendan Eich and his work, but I'd rather rely on uBlock Origin and my PiHole than pay micropayments and see ads that Brave shows.

In fact, I'd be fine with paying $10/month to support all the sites I regularly visit... but BAT tokens are weird.

Given the limitations of any Chromium-based browser after Manifest V3 it seems like uBlock Origin + Firefox would be the better bet? I do use Brave (w/o opting in to their crypto stuff) for Google-ly things like gMaps, but do most of my browsing in FF for that reason.

I'll definitely be moving on from Edge if/when it fails to support uBlock Origin.

Why not use all of it? I opted out of micropayments and ads, installed the full bevy of ad blocking on Brave, and use pihole for DNS.

Our use Firefox and addons and have the best of all worlds.

I use FireFox for home browsing, but Chromium dev tools are still far ahead, so Edge is what I use at work.

Also I don't need a Crypto Wallet plugin built into my browser that I can't remove.
