I don't use Firefox because of its poor security compared to chromium. I'd love it if a sane, well-polished, open source chromium based browser came along and replaces Brave.
You can get web filters and extensions.
Adguard for desktop has pretty good filters for malware and phishing domains
Then there's also avira browser safety and bitdefender traffic light. Emsisoft browser protection, malwarebytes browser guard.
Firefox also gives you a lot of stuff in the about: config menu to prevent many different kinds of tracking from advertisers and the websites themselves.
AdNausem is another good browser extension.
