I'm sure the answer for most of us is Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, but there are alternatives out there. So for those of us (and by us I mean you people this actually refers to) who have ditched BIG TECH browsers or simply browsers which aren't exactly compatible with Conservative values or things like privacy and surveillance in general, what browsers do you use and WHYYYYYY???
Brave? Waterfox? Opera? Avast? YANDEX?!?!?!?!
I use two browsers, Brave and Waterfox.
Brave: Straight-foward solution to not trusting leftist organizations such as google and mozilla, whose employees can be expected to leak info to interested parties. Doesn't require any tweaking or fiddling, can use out of the box, has okay adblocking, good enough for me but not as good as can be accomplished with addons. Good perf, stable, a little memory-hungry but it seems like all modern browsers are now. Created by Brendan Eich, also the creator of JavaScript and a founder at Mozilla who was forced out by leftist filth. Has some neat crypto-currency functionality that I don't use, but that could have merit. This is my go-to browser.
Waterfox: A fork of Firefox emphasizing privacy. My replacement for Pale Moon, which was my replacement for Mozilla a few years back. Very strong addon support so can be customized thoroughly with strong adblock/anti-scripting protection, good perf, no third party 'partner' bloat such as Firefox has acquired. Having taken a liking to Brave I mostly use that, but if I ever had to change, Waterfox would be my immediate choice.
