I have Firefox but gave Brave a shot too. Works fine for me. I'll use anything that gets around YouTube ads.

I got my dad to try Firefox and he said it drained his phone battery like no tomorrow, so now he uses brave because it doesn't
I've been using Firefox for years on my phone with no such problems, so I can't exactly verify what he's saying

Ive browser hopped a bit, Im currently on brave because it has a good vertical tabs integration and works decently well. Having to use another browser because a page won't load correctly is infuriating to me. After reading the comments here, I'd like to switch. I'm guessing Firefox is my best option huh?

I like to use Firefox until a web page doesn't fucking work and then I switch to Chrome and then go take a shit and come back and then use Firefox again
Hmm, I thought I'd find Waterfox mentioned but I didn't. That one gets my recommendation.
I use FF on android, but on my (ancient) desktop, it just runs like shit, while any of the chromium variants "just work".
Firefox was borked on my machine when I started using Brave. Still using it on other machines though
I want to use the same browser on desktop and mobile, but Firefox doesn’t support ad-blocking on iOS.
I thought all browsers on iOS were just wrappers for the same engine (webkit?), so they really can't do much there.

Also simply compatibility, some sites just don't work (or dont work well) on Firefox or librewolf, thats one key reason I go back to brave for a lot of things.
I genuinely have not seen a site that doesn't work on Firefox in years. Probably five or more. Can you think of an example off the top of your head?
