I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.
Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

Any issue with websites breaking? Since sites only care about chromium support nowadays
Not op, but I've yet to encounter a website that doesn't work with Firefox. (In the last 5 years)
there are plenty, you just don't happen to use them
Technically true
I've had a couple sites break but idk if that's because of Firefox or because of my privacy add ons.
The only broken thing is very specific stuff like Slack calls. In fact, it's the only broken thing I've seen in a long while. Also fuck Slack.
Vast majority of sites work for me (librewolf), but for the few that don't I also have Vivaldi installed
Firefox with a handful of extensions, same on phone.
Last time a site "needed" chromium based a user agent switch did the miracle...
Just Firefox, I like the way it looks, and it's open source.
firefox on desktop: to keep away a browser monopoly for another day.
iceraven on mobile: more extensions.
Zen browser. Its a browser that looks like arc browser but its based on Firefox and has tracking removed. Its really nice. They also have their own theme system to change how the browser looks and acts
Zen Browser, love the split view feature, and native vertical tabs !
It's a Firefox fork btw
Librewolf is pretty good, i like having privacy features out of the box
Firefox here
Firefox for most things, but I keep a copy of Vivaldi installed because sometimes my firefox setup breaks capcha.
Librewolf
Firefox with ublock origin for both desktop and mobile.
Those two programs alone block out like 75% of the annoyances and dangers of the modern internet. Near-complete removal of ads and a couple nice healthy adware and malware guards on top of that.
Add on a VPN and a few more Firefox extensions and I feel that I can browse the net anxiety-free.
LibreWolf.
Mullvad Browser when I'm on my Desktop, which is basically the Tor Browser but without the Tor network. The Mullvad Browser is instead designed to be used with a VPN.
Vanadium when I'm on my phone, which is is a hardened variant of Chromium providing enhanced privacy and security, similar to how GrapheneOS compares to AOSP.
And when I'm at work or using any other computer I try to mainly use Firefox.
Firefox because of extensions on mobile, literally the only browser capable of that
Edge isn't private so you have plenty of ways to improve
Firefox then additional hardening through arkenfox.js, minimal extensions - uBlock + Bitwarden.
Hardened Firefox on my PC and Waterfox on my phone. Reason: mostly because I have been using Firefox for a long time and I want to stay away from Chromioum-based browsers (but not out of privacy concerns :) ).
A combination of Zen-browser, Firefox and Librewolf.
Librewolf + uBlock Origin on desktop. Mull + uBlock Origin on mobile.
Firefox with Betterfox user script. Then from there is a bunch privacy focused/oriented extensions. I also harden my DNS with custom host files from StevenBlack. I also point all my devices to NextDNS as another catch and also to standardize things as I use NextDNS to manage my kids access to the world.
I do need to create a private VPN (of my own) still so my mobile devices can be setup behind StevenBlack host entries.
Firefox on desktop and Mobile. To keep browser monopoly away. All settings set to max strictness except no DNS, because I have a VPN. Firefox works on 99.9% of sites. You can use a script called Arkenfox, to harden FF even more, almost to Librewolf, but with the advantage of updates coming directly from mozilla. I love the sync function across FF, so that's why I have it on my mobile as well, it's seemless.
Just Firefox, and gnome web sometimes.
Firefox with plugins. If we want there to be anything but Chromium and Safari in the future it's simply what needs to be done. Forks of Firefox will disappear when Firefox does ...
On my laptop, Brave for non-"personal" things (such as fediverse, SoundCloud, AI tools, daily browsing, etc) and Firefox for "personal" things (such as WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn, accessing local govt. services, etc). On my smartphone, Firefox for everything (I disabled the native Chrome).
I've been using Brave in a daily basis because it's well integrated with adblocking tools, especially considering the ongoing strife regarding Chromium's Manifest V2 support, where Brave nicely stands keeping its Manifest V2 support independently of what Google wishes or not.
Firefox is also good, but I noticed that, for me, it has been slightly heavier than Brave. So I use it parallel to Brave, for things I don't need to use often. For mobile, it's awesome, as it is one of the few browsers that support extensions, so I use Firefox for Android, together with adblocking extensions.
Currently using Firefox but I'm also keeping an eye on Ladybird.
The founder of Ladybird said some questionable stuff that he walked back. You be the judge: https://text.tchncs.de/latenightblog/ladybird-browser-and-drama
Depends on which computer I'm using. Netscape 4 still works relatively well, as long as you're selective about which sites you try to access.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
