Firefox because nothing has blocked ads as well as Ublock Origin has. DNS is for other apps but for browser Firefox has been king.

Firefox, because it is not chrome based.
Firefox, with ublock origin and yt high definition plugins, so I can have a decent yt player. I have disabled/hide chrome, I have no need for it.
Mull. Hardened Firefox with uBO.
Fennec, which is a Firefox clone, and I use it because it allows (allowed) me more customization than the default Firefox.
This: Fennec has better security configuration than Firefox about:config settings in regards to telemetry and whatnot.
Mull is also great! Even more secure and better at stopping phoning home, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Though, Mull tends to break quite a few websites. I use Mull, and switch to Fennec selectively when Mull doesn't work
Firefox.
To get away from Chrome as much as possible and becaude my most used plugins from desktop are supported.
Firefox. Been using for longtime
firefox for most things. Chrome for my banking. The banking app refuses to run on my unrooted phone, because I have apps from f-droid installed, and I have a custom keybooard. And their site only works in chrome. Fuck hsbc
Harsh words for someone who continues to be their client
yeah I have a loan with them. otherwise I'd just switch

Firefox, with ublock & decentraleyes Because I can access all the open tabs from my fedora laptop and because I try to use as less Google apps as possible. Also been using Firefox for more then 15 years now across all my devices.
I use Firefox because it has Unlock Origin.
Mull, which is based on Firefox, but removes all the telemetry and stuff. I forget why I chose it over other versions of Firefox. Someone here on Lemmy recommended it.
Best android browser
Mull with ublock origin
Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc
Firefox because it has extensions
Vivaldi, because it is available everywhere, has cross-platform tab syncing, ad-blocking, and a tab bar on Android.

Firefox for most browsing (especially youtube with ublock), chrome for facebook.
Firefox with extensions or mull
Edit: and why?
Firefox to use my synced bookmarks and share open tabs from pc.
Mull for better privacy (i personally like to disable javascript and change my DNS to quad9)
Firefox for trusted sites, Firefox Focus for everything else. Adblock by default and drops all cookies and history when you close the browser.

Firefox because it's plugins make mobile browsing bareable. I have a folding phone so I wish that Firefox would hurry up and copy Chrome's multi window feature, and then it would be the perfect browser for me.
I use Firefox on desktop too, but I've been experimenting with Arc the last few weeks to see what the fuss is about.

Waterfox. A fork of Firefox.
Firefox beta with ublock and a paywall block list, works perfectly for 99% of the web
Cromite. It's easily the fastest browser i've used. Good baked in adblock is all I really need, and the increased performance and compatibility vs firefox is nice.
Firefox
Firefox bc it has ublock and I think more useful extensions are on the way And I can send my tabs to all my devices very easily
Firefox Nightly because of the extensions, Libredirect, uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc.
Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript.
I don't like ads, or websites using JavaScript for anything I don't approve of, or unnecessarily.
Firefox personally, Arc for work
I've been using Fennec F-Droid, which is based on Firefox. I mostly use it because I want a non-chromium based browser and Firefox and it's derivatives have browser extensions on android. I chose Fennec F-Droid because, while I could be wrong, it seems to be slightly smaller and run slightly faster than Firefox.

Firefox with a couple of extensions. But i have to use chrome with some webs (mainly from the town council, and several official institutions) because don't work properly with Firefox.
Firefox. It's a slow buggy mess, but it's a slow buggy mess with an adblocker.
Mull
Firefox because I like the UI and I think chrome has gotten too dominant.
Brave if I need to chromecast something
Chrome, I'm deep into the Google ecosystem at this point. But i use DDG for my search engine because Google's has gotten noticeably worse for my job in the past year or so
