Which one is faster?

Some friends on Discord say that Opera could be better and, hell, some don't understand why I use Mozilla Firefox to begin with outside of privacy concerns.

Apparently, Opera can do more and is faster.

Thoughts?

Think I should switch to Opera?

Opera is a piece of shit with worse privacy than fucking chrome.

Also opeea being faster? lmao, lmfao even. Not that this even really matters on modern hardware.

more features? it just kinda adds some weird extensions, for which better foss alternatives exist for firefox

anyone who tells you to use opera does not know what they are talking about

What are some foss alternatives?

you can use librewolf, its a fork of firefox, GNU IceCat is a thing, but i never used it. I personally use FireDrafon, which is a custimised LibreWolf (iirc) maintained by the Garuda Linux project
