My favourite is Brave.

Firefox — Everyone loves to play armchair CEO and dictate the ills of the company. But I think they do so because Firefox is largely the only independent rendering engine and with Google's foothold on browsers (to protect their ad revenue) I'm nervous about the future of Blink. Independent players are always good for competition.
Firefox, not even a consideration. With ublock origin, there's nothing that beats it.

For a second browser Vivaldi.

Is never consider any browser linked to an advertising company like Google, Microsoft, or brave.

I prefer Firefox as it is still the only feasible non-chromium alternative.

I have been a firefox user for more than two decades - since it was called Pheonix and later Firebird.

Brave, Vivaldi or Helium. If you want another browser engine, then wait for Ladybird 1.0, or try Kagi's Orion if you use Mac.
Anything that can run uBO proper. So, Firefox.
I use Chrome majorly because I like how it feels and I'm used to it.

But I wanted to stream football (soccer) and NBA games on my phone and the ad pop ups on the streaming sites were too much, I used Brave and the ad-blocking feature is amazing.

Brave and it is not even close. Only browser where I do not need to adjust privacy settings out of the box. On Firefox I need to go hunt for flags...

Just turn off crypto stuff and off you go. Brave Origin will fix that.

LibreWolf if not on the Apple ecosystem. Safari in that case. Mostly for a mix of privacy and efficiency.
I think the best browser is whichever one stays out of way.For me lately that's Brave too.
cromite with ublock dns https://my.ublockdns.com/q8i6s34n no calling home
