I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) (www.zdnet.com)

The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can't use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it's ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

Fennec. I've also used Mull before now. Both are pretty decent drop in replacements for Firefox

Thanks Fennec I use, I haven't tried Mull yet. Sounds dumb but I'm constantly looking for Android FF forks so I can use them for other profiles. Really wish mobile FF would get proper profile support.
