I love FF I've been using it for well over a decade but it runs like absolute ass on my pc. I downloaded chrome to test the waters and it's so much faster but now I feel like a shit for letting even more google into my life (already use youtube, gmail and search). Is there a hidden 3rd option I just don't know about?

Brave browser works pretty good. Yeah it pushes a crypto token but it's not annoying and not in your face about it. Has it's own search. Privacy centric. It's chromium based but add ons / extentions are lacking. Been using it on my mobile and deskrop devices for a few years now.

A while back I used a 64 bit native fork of Firefox called Waterfox which ran ok.

Waterfox

I'll look into it. But I'm coming around to chrome rn, it's like so much faster on this PC than ff ever was which is sad. I really need to upgrade my computer.

Brave is great for when you need chrome for something. It's just my onshape browser and it works great for that.
