  FF devtools is a pain to use compared to Chrome. Apart from that from a user perspective FF is just as good as Chrome.

    I actually find FF devtools better in some ways. I definitely don't miss Chrome's at all.

  Firefox has turned anti-privacy, and aside from any technical issues, it seems it is being driven entirely by Google's agenda. It just seems to be wandering around and doesn't lead in any appreciable way anymore.

Ungoogled Chromium, or even base Chromium is good enough

Depending on your OS, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium based browsers, as well as Safari and a few other weirdos using WebKit, all still exist. Beyond that, calling Firefox "much worse" is obviously subjective; there haven't been any credible allegations I'm aware of that Opera is "weird Chinese spy" (sic), and even though they're owned by a Chinese company now they're still headquartered in Norway and have to comply with Norwegian privacy laws; and calling Google Chrome a "botnet" is, uh, frankly weird. It's not very privacy-sensitive and that may be reason enough to avoid it, but it is not a "botnet" by any definition of the term I'm aware of.

  > Microsoft Edge If one wants to be part of a botnet, why choose the low-quality one? One might as well use google chrome.

There is Vivaldi. I used for my work daily driver and it been working well for me. One thing I like about it that it didn't have the bloat from Chrome and Brave.
