For simpler use-cases I've used both https://dataflare.app/ and https://tableplus.com/ with success. They are much quicker and lighter to start-up, browse some tables and run some queries.

Free versions are generous enough for daily use as well. For example for TablePlus "The free trial is limited to 2 opened tabs, 2 opened windows, 2 advanced filters (filters are not available on the free TablePlus Windows) at a time."

DBeaver is free, quite full featured (no AI) and FLOSS.

But has a very complex and busy UI that, for whatever reason, makes it difficult/tiring for me to use.

Very emblematic of it's Java GUI roots.

I love TablePlus. I basically use it for everything at this point even though I have a JetBrains all prod license. Never liked DataGrip.
