I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy π .
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.
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.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)

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.
Librewolf is pretty good, i like having privacy features out of the box
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
Firefox for most things, but I keep a copy of Vivaldi installed because sometimes my firefox setup breaks capcha.
Firefox here
Zen Browser, love the split view feature, and native vertical tabs !
It's a Firefox fork btw
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.
LibreWolf.
Firefox because of extensions on mobile, literally the only browser capable of that
Mull on mobile, mullvad and Firefox on desktop
Librewolf for anything that does work, Brave for anything that works only on Chromium based, and Mullvad for all the crazy.
On Android it's Mull and Mulch.
Instead of Mulch I would recommend Cromite. It is fully open source (free of proprietary dependencies unlike Brave and Mulch), has anti-fingerprinting (unlike Mulch), and has built-in ad-blocking. Browser comparison table made by the Developer of Mulch: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
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.
Firefox then additional hardening through arkenfox.js, minimal extensions - uBlock + Bitwarden.
Edge isn't private so you have plenty of ways to improve
Librewolf + uBlock Origin on desktop. Mull + uBlock Origin on mobile.
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 :) ).
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 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 ...
Just Firefox, and gnome web sometimes.
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
