Firefox alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

Vivaldi is much better than brave, no ai or crypto shit and the CEO isn't alt right

Yes Vivaldi doesn't come with crypto bullshit nor AI. However by default it's so badly tuned for user privacy... and sprobably even security. Honestly I would prefer having a Vivaldi AI Agent over a proprietary web browser (I know it's mainly open but it's not) It was not that well optimized on several of my devices when I tried it... I'm not conviced by their chromium proprietary fork even tho it's not the worst alternative either.
