Chrome is more compatible but everything in it is monitored, Opera or Waterfox (64 bit firefox) are what I use most. Both are fairly small applications, and you can choose when to update unlike chrome which does its own thing.

In Waterfox if you leave a bunch of tabs open and set it to remember where you left off, it will only load the current tab when you load back up, it doesn't pre-load everything like chrome does, and opera and waterfox both have much better speed dial functions (most visited websites) than chrome.

This thread made me realize I am still running the 32 bit version of Firefox.

However there seems to be no consensus on whether 64 bit Firefox or Waterfox is better. I'd say stick with regular Firefox unless you have serious problems.

Mozilla also has their own 64 Bit version:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

There's plenty of derivates based on it, like the mentioned Waterfox.

Could also check out Vivaldi, or Chromium. And my personal long time favorite: Lynx (sadly not really feasible anymore :/)

Really in my opinion Firefox and Chrome are both really good browsers (rest are sh**). I would recommend Chrome though because of the bells and whistles, such as Adblock.

yeah adblock and youtube ad block are useful

Firefox has Ublock origin though... same thing pretty much.

If you're okay with CIA spying on you, go with Chrome.
If you don't want anyone knowing everything you're doing online, go with Firefox.
If you're not in a rush, go with Internet Explorer.
If you're a web designer, go with Netscape.

Your assumptions about browser security are ill comceived. If you really want to try being anonymous, you should be using Tails, Tor relay, Orfox, and a good VPN. Even then, you would still be trackable by other means. Don't do shady things on the intraweb and you needn't worry.
