I tried to use Firefox. But it's just harder to use:
(1) Cannot have multiple bookmarks open as tabs and stay in different location.
(2) History is not actually history. The entries update instead of stay as a record. I honestly cannot understand the decision to make it like this.
(3) A bug that lasted for years. I have thousands of bookmarks and I'm not sure if it's because of that, often when I add bookmarks in firefox, the dropdown menu would freeze. Tried Floorp, same issue. Don't know if they fixed it since I switched.
A few features of Brave that I find special and useful:
(1) Built-in shortcut manager. One useful shortcut I use a lot is opening a new tab right below the current tab (I set it to Ctrl+E).
(2) Containers, like in Firefox. I like to visit websites in temporary containers so that I can keep the history instead of not having it in private tabs.
(3) Brave's Android app blocks YouTube ads very reliably. Sometimes the Morphy app gets blocked by YouTube temporarily and Brave comes in handy. No need to login.
(4) Not a browser feature, but Brave search has improved a lot and often gives better results than google, especially in cases where google censors the results.
