Because I (like many) dumped firefox for opera because firefox's threading was so terrible that you couldn't run more than a few tabs without crushing windows.
Hardened Firefox is fine. I would recommend Librewolf though, it's just firefox already hardened for you.
Brave if you want something out of the box. Although, I would advise to change some settings. Go to shield settings and set "Trackers and ads blocking" and "Fingerprint blocking" to aggressive. I prefer ublock origin though.
For android, I recommend
Bromite - chromium fork with built-in adblocker and enhanced privacy. Easier to install if you have F-droid store installed on your Android device then add the Bromite repo
and/or
Mull - firefox fork with some hardening, installing ublock origin is recommended. Can also be installed from F-droid.
Okay...
Chrome is out, Edge is out, Firefox is out, Opera is out...
So what the fuck is left?
Brave.
Duckduckgo gives money to democrats.
I'm trying startpage.
Startpage is just google redirected.
I use these depending on what I'm looking for-
swisscows
yandex
gibiru
DDg
bing
searx
An advertising company named System1 owns Startpage (and the Waterfox browser).

^^^^^ It's new and a thousand times better than DDG or pretty much any other alternative.
brave yes, duckduckgo are terrorist financiers and need an alternative...
I'm just here shilling for this new thing Brave did because it's crazy how few people know about it:

DDG is Google.
Try Qwant.

Waterfox is a fork of Firefox, been using it for a couple of years.
How's its cpu use?
Because I (like many) dumped firefox for opera because firefox's threading was so terrible that you couldn't run more than a few tabs without crushing windows.
Also using Waterfox. Seems fine to me. Currently using <1% with ~20 tabs open.
I have 2000+ tabs and it only takes 4 to 6gb ram.
also firefox kicked out the sane people and gained commie leadership a couple years back.. no reason to wait for it to fail or start advertising
Waterfox is owned by an advertising company named System1. Just keep that in mind.
GNU Icecat, Iridium, Librewolf, etc.
Most of these are forks of either Firefox or Chromium without the anti-privacy features.
Lynx
I used Lynx on a 80286.
The day NCSA Mosaic came out. Never again.

Okay, will try.
is waterfox different enough from firefox or is it basically still firefox?
Forks of Chrome, Safari (webkit), and Firefox. That, or using lynx.
Hardened Firefox is fine. I would recommend Librewolf though, it's just firefox already hardened for you.

Dissenter doesn't suck. Although it's not the most secure, either.
Serious question:
Has Firefox fixed their 2010's problem of consuming shit tons of CPU with badly threaded tabs?
Yes a long time ago.
Vivaldi and Dissenter seem good.
Ungoogled Chromium.
GNU icecat.
Tor seems dubious.
Brave
Brave browser?
