I’m choosing a main browser, and I think that firefox with ublock and brave are probably equally good in terms of privacy and security, both of them look quite nice, and both are FOSS. The final thing that I’m considering is resource consumption. This reddit post shows that firefox is better than brave in benchmarks and ram consumption, but what about when firefox has ublock running and brave has all their preinstalled “extension” like brave rewards and wallet disabled (except brave shields is left enabled)?

Edit: some people are mentioning brave’s cryptocurrency. I don’t want to use that, and I would just turn it off and use brave as an improved chrome.

    “You can turn off X” is not a good enough excuse.

    Once upon a time, I used to daily Edge when it was a pretty decent browser. But once it was handed over to the Bing team who started jerry-rigging garbage into it that was it for me. You could also “turn a lot of it off”, but that doesn’t help when new less-than-ideal features are introduced or setting it up on a new PC.
