So to recap, your choices are

  1. One of 70 flavors of Chromium including the "privacy centric" Opera who run Chinese loan shark gangs for some reason, Edge which is Microsoft Chromium and aside from hardware acceleration capabilities is pretty meh, and Brave which despite operating their own separate search engine index are one of the most likely to sell your data and/or kidneys

  2. Rapidly Enshitifying Firefox

  3. Safari - no comment

  4. Whatever the fuck Gecko is...

  5. Tor Browser (for people with infinite time to wait for pages to load, or maybe just drug dealers)

RE: point 1, I'm a fan of Vivaldi, a privacy-focused highly modified chromium build developed by former Opera developers who were disillusioned by the direction that company went in.

The chromium part is still problematic. I'll stick with the only other option until they shit the bed completely :(

librewolf? mullvad browser? Tor browser?

Librewolf is built on Gecko, people often accredit it as a "firefox fork".

Tor Browser seems cool, it's what I use on my phone whenever I have spare time to let it load before searching things which don't require a lot of bandwidth. I'll edit the above list.

Mullvad? Is that some kind of slur? I've never heard of that but searches say it's a VPN client. ¯\(ツ)

mullvad browser, made in collaboration with the tor project and mullvad VPN. Requires mullvad VPN to use.
