Firefox and Waterfox.
I dont bother with fancy settings … just use it as is.
I would like to find a small light browser for viewing local html files only…they dont exist.

I use google chrome, but if that is not available such as on older linux versions then chromium, on some apple mac systems I have installed opera as google again was too new and chromium did not exist. Opera comes in 2 flavour and I always go for the lighter version as i know it works on snow léopard

I use Firefox, it’s been my browser for many years. Current version is www-client/firefox-bin-151.0.2:rapid::gentoo. I use these addons: Facebook container, Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin.
My browser settings for privacy are:
- Custom
- Choose which trackers and scripts to block.
- Cookies Isolate cross-site cookies
- Tracking content only in private windows
- Cryptominers
- Known fingerprinters
- Suspected fingerprinters in all windows
and I block all in the permissions (location, camera, microphone, etc) by default and have autoplay allowed only for www.youtube.com
Also the https-only mode is on for all windows. And DNS is from Cloudfare for Firefox. No adds or annoying accept cookies!

I use firefox. There’s exactly one plugin I installed: ublock origin. It works miracles.

I find Vivaldi just as capable as Firefox. Privacy seems just as good. Trying to eliminate Google.

From a french perspective its google or google !
Of the several sites I run, 80 to 90 % of the visitors come from google, ok my target audiences are french. No client ever talks about browser they think the internet is google when I ask what they use, very rare can they seperate chrome as a browser or google as a search engine. But they will quite often reply with a gmail address as if that is the answer.
The government and french papers are suggesting a move away from american products and are now saying use
Not really tried it but I am happy with google.
