At home I run Debian, as I have for 10+ years, and there I run firefox exclusively. (I download the binary and install to /opt/firefox)

At work I use a macbook, and to keep a good separation I use firefox for "personal browsing" and safari for all work-related browsing and logins.

Firefox, with tree style tab, might not be the best browser but it's good enough for me. I just wish I could trust Mozilla to make good decisions these days. Pushing addons, pocket, etc, etc, it's all a bit worrying. But I guess back in the day I paid for my name to be included in the NYT Firefox advert and I've stuck with them since then.

I tried Arc for a bit and liked it, but I still use chrome as my primary browser for now. One thing I liked about Arc was their chat with webpage using AI feature which I couldn't find in chrome so I built https://rockyai.me/ to offer that!

I tried Brave this year. I now use it as my Chrome-based option when things refuse to work under Librewolf, which is my daily driver. I disable the `resistFingerprinting` option in the Librewolf flags though, because I like scrolling in 144 FPS. I don't mind the cost in privacy.

Vivaldi, started by the guy who originally was involved with Opera. I can't speak to the company or privacy features, since I haven't had enough time over the past few years to research it. But for my needs, it's flexible, easy to use, and not one of the big ones tied in with Google or MS, as far as I'm aware.
