Librewolf for anything that does work, Brave for anything that works only on Chromium based, and Mullvad for all the crazy.
On Android it's Mull and Mulch.
Instead of Mulch I would recommend Cromite. It is fully open source (free of proprietary dependencies unlike Brave and Mulch), has anti-fingerprinting (unlike Mulch), and has built-in ad-blocking. Browser comparison table made by the Developer of Mulch: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
They use Adblock Plus though. Would not recommend.
You can install uBlock origin lite and the adblock plus engine is segregated by cromite
I was not able to install any extensions on Cromite, how did you manage it?
Sry, I should have mentioned I meant Cromite on desktop.
I use Vanadium for that level.
Vanadium does not provide adblocking/content-block, comes with proprietary dependencies, and provides no fingerprinting protection.
I second librewolf
Does either Librewolf or Mullvad have a mobile version with sync?
In all honesty, I am not sure if you can sync, but I think I've seen librewolf and Mull being able to sign in to a Firefox account. I don't sync anything unless I self-host, so I have my linkwarden for all my bookmarks needs.
I've heard of a self-hosted alternative to Firefox accounts, but I would need to research that a bit.
It can sync, most if not all Firefox based browsers can sync
Use Mull (made by the DivestOS developer) on mobile. It is available through the dev's f-droid repo. It is hardened Firefox mobile similar to Librewolf and supports sync because it is a Firefox mobile fork. It is also fully open source and doesnt come with proprietary dependencies (unlike standard Firefox mobile)
Most Firefox forks can use Firefox sync but that also has privacy implications
