Which one is faster?

Some friends on Discord say that Opera could be better and, hell, some don’t understand why I use Mozilla Firefox to begin with outside of privacy concerns.

Apparently, Opera can do more and is faster.

Thoughts?

Think I should switch to Opera?

    I’ve been using Orion on Mac and iPhone. It’s a WebKit browser by Kagi that has support for Firefox and chrome extension. I recently switched because I don’t know how much longer I can trust Firefox. I still use Firefox, but every time I need to go digging through privacy setting to find some weird thing the enabled by default, I get more skeptical of how trustworthy they will be soon.

    I’m sure Kagi is no better, but they have a revenue stream that comes from a paid service, so I want to think they have a better incentive to not taint the product with gimmicks and spying in order to stay afloat.

      I don’t have Mac, tbh. And yeah, Firefox may be compromised in the future, though currently not now. I just want a browser that’s faster and can do more.

        Yeah I get that, I still use Firefox on my Windows and Linux machines. Outside of a Firefox fork, I don’t know what else would be worth it. Even then, I am a bit skeptical of forks because I expect them to be victims of attrition especially when it comes to security updates.
