If you think Firefox is a resource hog, going to Chrome was a move in the entirely wrong direction...
Firefox has significantly improved in the past six months or so, so much that it has returned as my primary browser after ~8 years of Chrome being my main browser (I was a very early adopter of Firefox when it was still in beta in the early 2000's). If you go into options then privacy and security you can adjust settings on tracking just like Chrome and other browsers. You can also install add-ons (same ones that Brave pre-installs in some cases) to make it more secure.
I've played with Brave on my laptop and phone, it works fine but has some rough edges. In the end I have chosen to continue with Firefox because I can get the same level of security in a much more polished and frequently updated package than Brave provides.
