I've been using Mozilla Firefox browser (thanks, Hexbear) but... Opera is looking good AND is owned by a Chinese company so I guess the privacy is fine? (hexbear.net)

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?

I don't have Mac, tbh. And yeah, Firefox may be compromised in the future, though currently not now. I just want a browser that's faster and can do more.

Yeah I get that, I still use Firefox on my Windows and Linux machines. Outside of a Firefox fork, I don’t know what else would be worth it. Even then, I am a bit skeptical of forks because I expect them to be victims of attrition especially when it comes to security updates.
