I want to switch to a more privacy focused browser, would like to hear what yall use currently and why.

Edit: I’m currently using edge.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with floorp (a firefox fork) with betterfox. Here's my decision process,

Firefox based browser
- To help with browser monopoly
- I really like the sidebery extension
I chose floorp instead of ff or other ff forks because of the ease of customization
- I also tried zen browser but experienced a bug just from my short usage so I think it's not mature enough for me currently, but I do like the project.
Betterfox + extensions for better privacy settings
- Ublock Origin
- ClearURLs
- Decentraleyes

Did not choose to go with LibreWolf, Mullvad etc because I'm worried about site breakages.
