I’ve always used Google Chrome, but I’d like to switch to something else. I work primarily through my browser, so it needs to be fast, but the main reason I want to switch is my growing awareness of privacy.
Over the past few years, my quality of life has also improved significantly, and security has become more important to me, especially since I actively invest and run my own business.
Apart from speed, privacy, and security, there are also aspects of my browsing habits that matter a lot. The first one is the number of open tabs. I usually have 6 Chrome windows open, and 2 of them have around 40+ tabs each.
The second one is bookmarks. I have over 1,000 bookmarks, and I want them to sync automatically. That means after reinstalling the browser and signing in, I’d like all my bookmarks to be restored. I don’t want to do manual backups.
I’ve been using Firefox for years and always suggest it.

if you care about privacy either brave or firefox + ublock should be goto.Firefox is generally heavier than Brave in terms of RAM and system resource usage atleast for me (both debloated)
If you use a lot of tabs, there's no need to open multiple windows if you use "Simple Tab Groups" addon. That could also help you a lot to organize them and not get so lost. You may also love "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" addon to have separate accounts and cookies. Another must have is "uBlock Origin". Apart from that, you can find in Reddit a lot of other privacy tweaks and addons.
brave
u only have to do some extra stuff, look here, go to the part of brave and do the recommended settings and u will finish: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers
Brave is sketchy asf
Instead of dealing with syncing so many bookmarks, maybe consider a service like Raindrop.io which can store your bookmarks online with categories, notes and icons, with plugins for most browsers.
Does this have encryption support?
Watch this. Might help https://youtu.be/nlMCymx5z7g?si=XR-uRdAbnB-tGLjs

Firefox? Honestly, works a bit faster than Edge (chromium)
Firefox. Fast, private, and actually respects your data. Been using it for years, never looked back.
How is Firefox private?
It has ETP and DoH features also it’s open sourced so it isn’t fully controlled by any big tech corp that wants your money.
Firefox by default is invasive and collects telemetry + the security is a lot worse compared to Chromium based browsers. Good privacy requires strong security as its foundation
Firefox does all this, also have a version for your phone or tablet and has been around so long that chances are you can stay on Firefox.
I like Brave. firefox isn't too bad either, but not all webaps work fine with it
Chromium?
Vivaldi is a possiblechoice.
