 Brave or firerox

Which one is better? I am confused on which one to use. 
 Firefox with customization (ublock Origin, etc).
Don't use a browser that lives on a shitcoin. 
 really confused by all the Brave apologists 
 Unlike FF Brave actually has a business model and gains money 
It doesnt need to beg money from Google and give Google a thumbsup when its sued again

 
 Printing a shitcoin is not a business model 
 I dont even know Mozillas business model is.
Apparently about 88% come from loyalties from browser search engines + distribution deals.
With the majority of that money coming from Google  
I dont even care about all the Crypto shit because it doesnt work in my country and making "money" with BAT is KYC, lmao 
 Having most of the revenue coming from google is not ideal but is doesn't come close to the ethics of printing a scam token and dumping jt on retail and also syphoning websites own ad revenue.

Not to mention using a chromium based browser reinforces Google's strength in controlling web standards for their own interests. 
 Firefox (customized), librewolf, or mullvad browser 
 librewolf is great 
 Why not use FF and harden it
Not having an auto update option is terrible 
 I can't download librewolf (via chrome) because it said developer is unknown...(oh man where is the crying emoji...) 
 Librewolf on desktop and Mull on android 💯 
 Gecko is a no no on mobile because of its terrible security 
 The thing I used the most on Firefox, and which I think is very useful is the extension Muli-Account Containers. You can create containers and open a tab in a container where all the cookies are isolated in.

 On Linux, Firefox. On Android, Brave 
 Currently, I trust Firefox 
 You must be having a performant phone 
 Well, nothing phone 2 😀 
 That's the reason. I have a 3 year old 150 dollar Chinese  
 Tor Browser. Both in desktop and mobile.
