God I wish chrome didn't remove manifest v2 
Here is the list of things that piss me off about firefox:
- It is dogshit slow
- It eats up a ludicrous amounts of RAM, which I wasn't expecting since it's one of the main things people make fun of chrome for
- It crashes constantly
- It tries to push it's "AI" bullshit on me despite me turning it off on multiple occasions
- It puts ads on my home page
- It needs to be relaunched regularly because at some point it becomes too laggy to use. It even stops loading pages altogether
- "Restore previous session" feature doesn't work half the time so restarting the browser is absolutely terrifying
- Profile management is a mess
Are there any alternatives? Is Brave any good?
Vivaldi wouldn't be my first chromium-based browser choice. Still too many privacy issues vs other browsers:

That's fair. I consider the privacy issues, but I really, really hate the user interface of Google Chrome itself and Brave is basically a copy and paste of their UI.
I like Vivaldi for all of the additional features it offers users. I only use it for work-based stuff, so the privacy stuff doesn't really bother me since my company's already monitoring all of that or when I need a Google-based browser for whatever reason.
If privacy's a major concern, then I would probably just go to like, librewolf which is developed by the community to be as privacy forward as possible.
You can also just add a few add-ons to make it more privacy-focused like no script and no cookies and ublock light.
Yeah you seem like you know what the deal is. I basically posted that for anyone reading along in the thread. Quite a few people on this site have no clue about privacy and its kind of my hobby horse.
You know, it's kind of a bit sad that people don't understand the privacy aspect of the internet. I wish people did.
I understand, though, that people are busy and that privacy is just one of the many, many things we all have to worry about.
