I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

Nobody has mentioned librewolf, which is a fantastic out of the box privacy browser. It’s a Firefox fork.

Is it truly just download and use?

I ask because I am not a tech person. I do not understand how to read or write code, what settings are the ones you need to safely change, etc.

I would happily try Librewolf if the browser is as simple as downloading

For the most part it really is. A lot of what it does I would do anyway, but it has that by default, which saves a lot of time for me every time I install it (which is quite often due to my endless distro-hopping). Not everything works perfectly, and a lot of that is intentional (such as spoofing the timezone). I would definitely recommend giving it a shot, and if something doesn’t work well you can probably just turn it off (and they’ll probably explain how in their FAQ).
