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.

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.

Desktop, Librewolf

Mobile Brave, Mull

librewolf on my laptop, firefox with ublock origin at work and on mobile

Brave

Firefox

Zen Browser on pc, and Fulguris on android.

waterfox

On mobile the only choice is Mull. And on desktop even you could use Arkenfox, but recommended to you to use the Mullvad brower

Tor Browser

Firefox (well, librewolf, but forks are a matter of personal preference).

Chrome (Ungoogled chromium) is used as a fallback for the occasional site that doesn't work with my restrictive FF configuration.

Both have uBlock, though they're configured differently to suit their individual purposes.

Firefox on mobile, desktop and iPad.

i use hardened firefox but i also use vivaldi when i need to use chromium for whatever reason

Tor Browser on both Linux/Gnome and Android. I believe I get not only the benefits of ad-blocking and anti-tracking measures but also IP-obfuscation through the Tor network. Sure, there are sites that won't serve content to the Tor network, but screw them!

PC - Firefox with ublock, multi container extension Android - Mull with ublock extension, i delete data on exit

Since I have not seen it yet in the comments, I use Floorp, a Firefox fork with some nice UI improvements (and apparently some performance improvements, but both are very fast for me).

firefox but hardened. dont want to use any chromiumed browser bc of the monopoly, and librewolf is just a fork of firefox so too little difference to switch

I'm using Brave cause I love and need Chromium. Firefox and Vivaldi are great options too.

You could use a PiHole or nextdns.io too as a DNS blocker against ads and trackers.

LibreWolf on desktop—fennec on mobile (tho I should consider Mull, my history is already in Fennec). Back desktop is Brave—with backup mobile being Mulch + Fx Android Beta (to handle DRM). In the terminal, w3m picking up a new possible maintainer means it will stay my favorite.

I want to follow Ladybird, but man is that hype way overblown relative to where the project actually is & you should not trust leadership that locks communications to US-based, proprietary services (Discord + Microsoft GitHub).

On Mobile I use Firefox Nightly but it is a pain. It crashes all the god damn time. I don't know how y'all do it, Mull is the same thing because of the upstream. I sometimes consider using Vanadium but I ain't pissed enough yet, I think.

On Desktop, Librewolf for mostly everything that I can manage work with it, what doesn't I open whatever other browser that's available.

Falkon on my Surface Go and Firefox on my Desktop.

A customized copy of ungoogled chromium

Since you're using Edge, I'll assume you're running Windows. In that case, I'd recommend either Librewolf or ungoogled-chromium.

I, myself, use Mullvad Browser and Links2, but they're not quite as good for new users.

I've been using Kiwi for the last few years, as at the time Firefox didn't do extensions on mobile. It's Chromium based, and I've had no issues using it anywhere.

In descending order of good privacy:

• Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
• Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
• Mullvad
• Librewolf
• Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
• Everything else
• Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).

I'm on Librewolf but looking for an alternative now because it runs very poorly on my 10 years old machine.

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏
