I was using brave before and decided to switch to firefox but I did some research and turns out firefox collects way more by default than brave and I am switching back, what do you think?

I don't know how it stacks up but there's also DuckDuckGo's browser - it has the added benefit of 'App Tracking Protection' which stops other apps from collecting data in the background by using a local VPN. Crazy how much it blocks - even for apps that haven't been launched at all recently.
