People have stopped recommending it saying it's slow and clunky. Is brave better than Firefox ? I am talking mainly about pc.

    Why don't you do a comparison to decide for yourself rather than nameless people giving you their often prejudiced opinion?

      This is it. Trying multiple browsers in parallel isn't nearly the pita that trying multiple operating systems is. Just install a few browsers and try them out

      If Firefox works for you, I'd recommend it. I could make a huge list of my subjective pros and cons, but who cares what I think?

      The most important thing is that I'd recommend getting off Chrome, because Google is attempting to use their market position to make the internet worse for users. Try all the alternatives and see which one you like.

    firefox is fine as browsers go. they've had some missteps recently with some unpopular decisions surrounding ads. brave has some controversies surrounding cryptocurrency and affiliate url links, as well as being chromium based. if those things bother you, and you are adverse to the ad issues, you could go with a fork of firefox, like librewolf.

    Firefox is great! I love it!

    People have now started recommending Firefox again, you can use it once more

    I use Firefox for just about everything. More specifically, I use a couple privacy-oriented Firefox forks. I like Librewolf as my daily browser and Mullvad Browser as my "view-once" browser. On mobile I primarily use Mull.

    Librewolf is great for me because it removes some of the Mozilla fluff that I don't use (Mozilla VPN, Pocket, etc). A lot of people would likely prefer using the arkenfox.js user configurator simply because it'll allow you to keep up to date with Firefox's native update installer.

    Occasionally I'll use Brave on desktop- I find that a Chromium browser not using my strict uBlock Origin ruleset is generally more ideal for college and work-related use. Your mileage will vary considering your use case, but there's no shame in having multiple browsers that you use for different things.
