Firefox 69 now blocks cryptominers and tracking cookies by default - slightly NSFW image

At this point I have no idea why anyone would use Chrome or IE. Firefox, Brave, Tor are your preferred paths.

The use of cryptominers – which is dubbed “cryptojacking” – allows websites to monetize their users without showing traditional advertising. Although this is visually inobtrusive, these scripts inevitably result in performance slowdowns and reduced battery life for mobile users. Experts from SonicWall estimate over 52.7 million visits to cryptojacker-infected websites were made during the first six months of 2019.

In addition, starting from today, Firefox will automatically block third-party tracking cookies. These are used by advertising networks to show relevant adverts based on previous browsing activity. For good reason, tracking cookies are widely regarded as intrusive and harmful to privacy.
Side note - Apparently there is such thing as Firefox cosplay

I use safari because it comes with my Mac. So far, only a few Nigerian princes have given me multi millions. Safari is solid

The people who want a functioning browser that's not hoovering up all your information and sending it to Google.

Most websites use tracking cookies, and they are all but unusable if you block them. A big thing always pops up on the screen covering content on mobile

Not all are unusable, but many of the larger news sites are using them. If they prevent you from reading the page, just find the story elsewhere.
Most sites are more anal about ad-blockers.
