Firefox doesn't support Wide-Gamut.
Chrome is too enshrined with Google.
Edge has some neat features, but Microsoft keeps pushing Copilot and Bing.
Arc had major security issues, and I've lost trust in them. Also, no Windows.
Opera is a subsidiary of a Chinese company.
Daily driver is Edge with vertical tabs and uBlock Origin.
Brave
Thorium
ATM I use Firefox on fedora but its more and more getting in my way (system crashes, strange Video playback issues, slow rendering). I'm totally pro open source but it lately got so bad i'm afraid I have no choice than switching to another one...
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.
But I tried Firefox forks: LibreWolf, WaterFox and Zen, in that order. I came back to using LibreWolf because it's available in apt which makes it easy to install. I had errors when installing WF on windows, couldn't use it. Zen doesn't support horizontal tabs.
Watch out for Ladybird browser. https://ladybird.org/
Chrome - not by choice, but for a particular course I’m doing which insists that chrome is better. I don’t love either but I’m just habitually use to Safari.
