I want to switch to a more privacy focused browser, would like to hear what yall use currently and why.

Edit: I’m currently using edge.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with floorp (a firefox fork) with betterfox. Here's my decision process,

Firefox based browser
- To help with browser monopoly
- I really like the sidebery extension
I chose floorp instead of ff or other ff forks because of the ease of customization
- I also tried zen browser but experienced a bug just from my short usage so I think it's not mature enough for me currently, but I do like the project.
Betterfox + extensions for better privacy settings
- Ublock Origin
- ClearURLs
- Decentraleyes

Did not choose to go with LibreWolf, Mullvad etc because I'm worried about site breakages.

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

Oh cool, I'll have to switch. I've been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I'd been using Firefox for years before that

The say zen is suspicious. Brand new and not really tested. Keep an eye on it.
