Life was simpler - if a lot more frustrating - when everyone just tolerated Internet Explorer 6, wasn't it? Now there are so many web browsers. But they aren't actually that different under the hood.
Many people get a new computer and continue to use the included web browser. Others simply install Google Chrome.
If you do this, you will regret it more than anything in your life. All your worst decisions will be but a paltry drop in the bucket of regret.
Chrome still has significant memory usage problems, and would you really want your window into the world wide web controlled by the one of the world's largest advertising agencies?
Nothing is actually "free". The legions of software developers working for Silicon Valley wages need paid somehow, so where do you think that money comes from?
Firefox remains the best of the worst, but this situation hasn't improved significantly over the years. It's also indirectly funded by said advertising agency, as has been often reported.
The other browsers - Brave and Opera, just run atop Chrome, so why bother?
The best Chromeclone is Vivaldi, which is made by the people who used to make Opera but gave up on its own rendering engine and sold the browser name to a dodgy Chinese consortium for some reason.
Therefore we must hope for something better to come along.
Until then your best bet is to get Firefox.
