I care about my privacy, though I like it's UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

YES, IT IS!

You should NOT trust Brave to not play fast and loose with your privacy. They already operate an advertising network (it operates on those stupid little BAT tokens) and they DO inject ads and affiliate links.

I strongly recommend Firefox^1^ or Librewolf.

^1^ - You must install plugins and apply user.js fixes yourself to properly harden Firefox completely against tracking; but this is doable.

Hey, I use Firefox but I've never heard of making edits to the user.js config. Could you point me in the direction of some information about this?

This. They detail perfectly how you can properly harden Firefox with whichever settings you think fit your privacy needs best and even discuss the tradeoffs for each setting.

it's the same as about:config
