I've been using Brave for the past three or so years but I do know that Linux/privacy enthusiasts tend to swear by Firefox. Wanted to get people's thoughts on this topic to see if I should be making a potential switch. Thanks!

LibreWolf nd Brave are on the same Level if both are hardened.

Good answer. Hardened Firefox or LibreWolf with some extensions are awesome options for privacy!
