I'd been using Brave for a good while, but now switching back to Firefox. Considering that I was a Firefox user since version 3.5, it makes me feel like going back home.

I like the Speed dial feature and the free VPN feature.

Seeing how Chrome is currently at the top of this poll, I say Brave needs to get more traction.
It is Chromium-based and rids you of a majority of all the annoying cr*p that is currently making the internet a sad farce.
Just imagine using a browser that looks and feels mostly like Chrome, but not being greeted by annoying cookie banners (Brave auto-rejects all unnecessary cookies), and walls of ads. It even gets rid of YouTube ads.
Oh, and of course, it offers an integrated VP... See more Seeing how Chrome is currently at the top of this poll, I say Brave needs to get more traction.

I used Firefox for a good while and then my computer got really slow. My IT technician suggested that I switched to Chrome, so I have been using it since…

Google Chrome is ram eater, I also like Opera very much and I installed it again on my laptop, and on my PC I switched to Firefox.

I only whish they would manage to make it less RAM heavy. I think this could also lead to wider adoption.

Well, you could always use Lynx web browser. It only needs 10 MB of your precious RAM. 
On a more serious note, you'd be hard-pressed to find a web browser that isn't RAM heavy nowadays. Those fancy GUIs and speedy performance come at a price, you know.

Mozilla has been working on improving Firefox performance using ForkServer. It's been enabled by default in the Nightly builds since the last 3 months, and it's deemed to be ready for the final builds. According to benchmark data, ForkServer lowers memory consumption by around 50%, and reduces content process startup by around 35%.
That is, if you're on Linux.

Yes, there is such thing. In effect Chrome liberated from Google's obsessive compulsive data siphoning.
And it works pretty well.
