Which Browser Should I Use In 2025?
Over the history of the Web, we have seen several major shifts in browsing software. If you’re old enough to have used NCSA Mosaic or any of the other early browsers, you probably welcomed th…

Yes or sometimes it is just that the Firefox version is too old or your privacy setting too strict. So updating to latest version and switching to a new clean standard profile can help.
Firefox is spying on you, so a derivative is the only option. I also user Ungoogled Chromium because it's really nice and works well after a couple of tweaks
Why do you think Firefox is spying on you any more then any of the other major browsers? Turn off all of the sponored content.
Because they said so in their updated ToS. They might not be as bad as Google but they're not saints
That is not what they said. They said operationally nothing is changing. However, they are basically in-part ad supported and so with that comes some strings. All of this can probably be configued out but it is a pain.
For me, hard call. Fragmenting into maybe better browsers reduces Firefox popularity and that impacts wheather web developers will test against anything but Chrome. When that happens these other browsers become irrelevent. So using other browers has a consequence.
Regardless, the fact is unless you're going through the code, you're not sure if the tracking and telemetry is really disabled. LibreWolf does that for me, so I use it over plain Firefox
