Does the browser use actually matter? Everybody's got their browser of choice, but does it actually matter which one you use? Privacy is a big thing with browsers. Some have lots of privacy defaults, others not so much. Tour will be your strongest for privacy, but there are other more mainstream options, like Firefox, Vivaldi, and DuckDuckGo. Edge and Chrome are not your friends when it comes to privacy. Some browsers use more RAM than others. We all know that Chrome eats RAM like it's been starved for weeks, but other browsers like Firefox, Brave, and Edge use less RAM. Chrome is the largest extension library, which is really nice if you're a big extension user. Neesh browsers like tol, tol, tol, tol, and WillVad have like no extensions. If that's something that matters to you, you also have to decide between Chromium and Non-Chromium. Chromium browsers include Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi.
