“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable...” ― H.L. Mencken

I'd like to dump Chrome, but Firefox just bogs down on my laptop.
I use duckduckgo for search and Ghostery to try to maintain some privacy.

I use Waterfox. It's a branch off of Firefox before Firefox Quantum. It still works with all of the legacy add-ons and extensions, most of which are still supported.

Waterfox here as well. Works fast on my over 5 year old Dell Inspiron 3847 (i3847-5077BK) machine now running Win10 off a Samsung 860 EVO SSD 1 Tb drive.
On my 2008 vintage Dell Vostro 1000 AMD Athalon 64x2 laptop updated with a Crucial BX300 120Gb SSD drive and 4Gb RAM, I'm running Firefox which came with the Linux Mint 19.1 installation package.

I use Firefox and have it set to automatically purge all history/cookies when I close the browser. This means I can't maintain any settings for websites between sessions but I've been doing it for years now and am used to it.

You'd have to hold me at gunpoint to make me use Internet Explorer or Edge.
I used Firefox exclusively as well. Their change around version 2017 or so, when JavaScript was no longer supported, forced my hand at a change. We used software by Honeywell (Vocollect Voice) and you have to enable JavaScript to install it or make changes on the devices.
100% agree ace in IE or Edge. I will say that IE is better than Edge, but that’s like comparing wasp stings. They both suck and no one wants them.
