    Could be used as alternative. On empty tab, FF uses 5 processes. On 5 open tabs FF uses 11 processes with 20% more memory usage an almost 50% more CPU time, compared to PM. Both rely heavily on add-ons, FF have higher add-on base. Since PM no longer support Mozilla add-ons there was some functionality loss (some fixed, some pending, some dropped), FF users can still use those add-ons.

    Not an alternative at all. Only common thing is, they are both browsers. Similarity ends there.

    I just love this browser from the bottom of my heart. Its a Jon von Tetzchner initiative (CEO of Vivaldi Technologies, founder and CEO of the Opera Project back in time). For some people it is just too much customisation. But fact is it is your choice to use the features or disable it...

    Could be used as alternative. Waterfox is very similar to Firefox, but it works exclusively on x64 systems. Uses same add-ons. It also used 5 processes on single empty tab and 11 on 5 opened. PM always use single process. It used slightly less CPU time then PM, but significantly more memory (almost double.

    Opera only has a (suspicious) built-in VPN and adblocker, with little to no customisability.
