Firefox everywhere. It’s not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.
Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).
There’s an extension (plus companion application) for running PWAs via Firefox. It has worked well for me.
Floorp has built in optional PWA feature, but is experimental.
NetSurf is closer to a browser.
NetSurf is a very barebones browser. It can fill a niche, but is not a daily driver where other options are available.
Which is not the case on Plan 9.
Huh, TIL NetSurf works on Plan9.
Firefox for the win.
Librewolf and the new zen browser

LibreWolf on everything that supports it (Windows/Mac/Linux) and Fennec F Droid on Android.

I have been using Vivaldi for about half a year and so far it is working well for me. Originally moved to it due to it’s privacy features, but finding other areas quite useful too such as workspaces
I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.
Vivaldi is very functional. But once I understood the wide landscape features of floorp, incl workspaces and all, I was sold to Floorp.
Sadly not available on Linux, but Arc has the best tab management paradigm of any browser I’ve tried, by far. Pinned tabs with folders, workspaces, and home urls goes hard.
On the other end of the spectrum, I’m very fond of qtbrowser. If you want a keyboard centered workflow it’s hard to beat.

Oh snap, don’t mind if I do
Omg that looks amazing…
Thank you!
Sure does!
I love Firefox because with about:config and User css you can configure it just like you want it. Also Falkon because you get a fully featured browser that runs decently on older hardware
Started using Zen browser recently and it’s not bad! Basically Firefox but more stylish and more privacy. It syncs with my Mozilla/Firefox account so on mobile I just use Firefox.
But she was not asking for a suggestion !
Firefox and Firefox Focus

Pale Moon, originally forked from Firefox many years ago (although the codebases have diverged so far that most Firefox patches no longer apply). Still xul, still supports Firefox extensions from back in the day as well as extensions purpose-written for it. On the downside, it occasionally isn’t compatible with the latest bleeding-edge nonstandard Javascript features—I keep Vivaldi around for the extremely rare occasion when something goes wrong with a site that I absolutely must visit for some reason (I think I’ve needed it twice in the past five years).
There is no favorite. There is only the lesser of several evils, and usually it changes after a few years.
Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.
Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.
Every browser I use causes me to feel some negative reaction
