   I've used Vivaldi as my daily driver since its days in beta. It works, it's fine, they seem committed to making it proof to Google's depredations. I find ff clumsy and slow and hahaha no I wouldn't be looking at edge.
   I'm on Linux tho so maybe if you're stuck having to use windows, ymmv as they say.

     I know I'm not going back to Chrome, but I don't have anything against Chromium-based stuff - I need my browser to *work* and otherwise stay out of my way, thus the crusade against monoculture in browsers isn't a primary concern. So as much as I hate to even ask, is Edge the least worst option right now since it's not encumbered with Google's new spyware or intentionally breaking ublock Origin & friends?
     Brave is a no-op for plenty of reasons. Opera sounds similarly sketchy.
     Vivaldi? 2/2

     I'm starting to think I'm going to have to give up on Firefox. my baseline ~35 tabs spread across multiple windows routinely eats 6+GB of memory, and even after going from 16->32GB of RAM, I'm still getting all sorts of UI lag and general unhappiness. I suspect at least part of it is Atlassian's fault (they are likely not testing with Firefox and their stuff is bloated), but given I already have to keep Chrome around for stuff that straight up doesn't work on Firefox, I'm looking at options 1/n
