Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:

It's relatively trustworthy.
It uses the only non-WebKit-derived browser engine still in active development. Monoculture is bad.
It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.

Wait its going to be unsupported after?

In Chromium and derived browsers, yes. It already doesn't work in Safari and presumably other WebKit-derived browsers. Firefox will soon be the only browser capable of running a truly effective ad-blocking extension.

Firefox FTW!

I can't imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.
