Brave. It got better privacy ratings than Firefox and I really like the design.

Chrome on Mac.
Edge and Chrome
Edge.
Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.
Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with apz.overscroll.enabled set to true. The best experience on Linux.
On desktop, Librewolf (Firefox) and Brave. Sometimes I need a Chromoum browser (thanks Google), and Brave is one of the better options.
On iOS, it doesnβt really matter. Though, I went with Brave. Ad blocking and background media playback is great.
On Android I use Mull, which is a hardened Firefox, with goals similar to Librewolf. Again, Brave as a backup.
Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.
Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.
Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

Desktop:
Mullvad browser as daily driver (Firefox + Arkenfox + Tor Browser + ublock origin out of the box)
Degoogled chromium for any logged in accounts, each in its own profile (I prefer the chrome profile switcher)
Tor Browser for any onion sites
Mobile:
Mull (Firefox)
Brave on both.
- Native vertical tabs +1
- tablet UIs
- scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native
Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.
vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.
if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5
Arc!
Opera
Orion (when it works 99% of the time) on my Mac. Itβs pretty much all the benefits of Safari plus the ability to run some Firefox/Chrome extensions. I know itβs not FOSS yet, but they at least claim to be working on it. Firefox for the other websites that donβt work on Orion (very rare), and Chrome for the others that donβt work well at all on Orion/Firefox (almost never). Iβm planning on deleting Chrome overall soon.
https://pulsebrowser.app its a minimalist Firefox fork with an extremely handy sidebar and sane defaults
I usually stick to the browser that comes bundled with the OS. On my computer, I use Microsoft Edge, and on my phone I use Chrome. I'm just very lazy to download a different browser, I'm not biased at all. If I start using Linux, I'll be using Firefox (idk if different Linux distros bundle different browsers). If I ever switch to iOS or macOS, I'd use Safari.
I think I'm automatically being hated now for using a browser made by a company that sells my data to advertisers.
Qutebrowser and Firefox
Safari for daily driver. Firefox for backup. Mullvad for the old site.
Firefox on pc librewolf on mac
Chromium on mac.
Want to get into Nyxt. Hackable in common lisp! But for me on Guix it crashes within 5 minutes of use. Damn I need to fix it.
eww. (built into emacs). Used to google issues during terminal distro installations. Also good for simple blogs and github readme's, but I plan to replace that with a feed reader and a proper forge explorer package.
But as a depressed gamer, I've been sticking to firefox so far.
