hi all - i apologize in advance, cuz i’m sure this has been asked before, but i searched the sub and just saw some older stuff and wanted a fresh post to get recs.

on my laptop (running Linux) i currently use Librewolf and Brave, and have Mullvad’s browser as well. i have used Brave off and on but was wanting to move away from Chromium-based browsers. i like Brave’s browser, but i’m not a fan of the company as a whole, i suppose. i like Librewolf, but with the direction Mozilla’s heading, who knows what the future holds. although i guess the forks of the browser wouldn’t go away if, as a dramatic example, Mozilla imploded? idk how that would work.

anyway, i figure Firefox has to be a good browser, or Tor wouldn’t use it as a base to build on. unless they just couldn’t get the go ahead to do so on Chromium? i’ve seen people say that Firefox has a broader attack service (or just isn’t as secure all around) and isn’t as secure as Chromium, but idk how pertinent that is to the everyday person. and does this apply to the forks of Firefox?

should i just stick it out with Librewolf on my laptop? stick with Brave? i also don’t like that Google is killing manifest v3.

what’s everyone else doing? am i overthinking it? lol i probably am. also, if i need to post this somewhere else, please tell me where. i was going to post in the cyber security sub, but after reading their rules, i wasn’t sure. thanks and apologies in advance :D
