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?

The primary reason Firefox use needs to be pushed is because it has the only rendering engine that is not chrome's. If Firefox dies that gives Google 100% freedom to set every web standard as they please. Every other web browser is a chrome skin, including edge, including opera, etc. The second companies think they can get away with dropping Firefox support they will (some already have, like tandem, the company that makes my insulin pump)
