Floorp. It's a Firefox fork with good privacy and security, but not as intrusive as Librewolf and doesn't break websites by default
Firefox for personal. I like Edge for work stuff.
Librewolf
Same
Vivaldi. For me, in terms of usability, it's the closest thing to Opera (and by "Opera" I mean the browser that it was before moving to Blink/Chromium).
Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with apz.overscroll.enabled set to true. The best experience on Linux.
chrome
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.
Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.
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.
Edge.
Qutebrowser and Firefox
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

At home, Firefox. At work: Chrome because I'm a web developer and our app is currently broken in Firefox
Brave. It got better privacy ratings than Firefox and I really like the design.

Arc!
Opera
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.
