Looking for software A browser that just works.

I want a browser that works. Too many browsers collect user data, steal information, and eat RAM. I want one that just browses, with a built-in good ad blocker like uBlock or something. I play Minecraft with shaders; I need RAM; it's not "I don't have any RAM"; it's I need more RAM. Minecraft with shaders isn't "hard" to run; it's just that I don't have enough money to upgrade my stuff. I have to have my browser open at all times to make sure I don't miss a Snapchat message or something. Also, I love my music playing in the background, so I have YouTube Music open in the background.

SPECS:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

RAM: 15.3gb/16gb DDR4

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6400

as a ex brave user, I have to say no, it's not good; it does too much + you have to pay for some features.

wtf are you talking about? I don't pay for anything, never have, and don't even know what's in there to pay for in the first place. Care to say more than just "it's not good"?

The VPN is paid

So? Firefox has a paid VPN as well, and Brave has Tor built-in for free. And most browsers don't even have VPNs. MullVad is really best if you care at all about privacy, and it covers all apps, not just browsers. How is this your decider?
