Recommendation of Windows software [A long read]
If you like Chrome but don't care about numerous Google's trackers sending data of your browsing habits, get Chromium instead. There's a simple self-updating, open source launcher on Github. Grab the latest release. Used that for years.

Is there any bare-bones browsers that respect privacy like Brave but without cryptocrap? I want good extension support and speed too. Good UI would be a good thing.
Use Chromium with uBlock Origin for ad blocking and Chlauncher for auto-updates.

It’s a bad bargain. Google as evil as Microsoft in terms of privacy. Better switch to Chromium with chrlauncher or Brave.

How to make desktop icons like chrome?
That's an old tutorial, the pref its asking you to toggle doesn't exist in the latest Nightly anymore. Your best bet is to use an extension but if that doesn't work, then you're screwed. Mozilla isn't continuing development of this feature.

Do firefox have something like --app switch in chrome?
Are you referring to PWA? Unfortunately, Firefox does not yet support it; however, you can use this for the feature. The exension isn't great and buggy, but it gets the job done.
- Is it just me or does someone else desires desktop PWA's like Microsoft Edge or Brave or whatever?
