I've been using Arc exclusively for the past few months, and really enjoy the experience. It has so many nice little UX flourishes, and tab management is super clean and organized.

Brave. Because Mozilla made me switch from Firefox after almost 20 years due to its idiotic development trend (remove features, add crappy UI, disregard community feedback).
I have changed browser maybe every five or so years, whenever I had issues with the one I'm using. I've been back on Firefox as primary for a couple of years now.
I use Vivaldi and Firefox. I like Vivaldi customisability, tabbing, workspaces, rss support and Firefox robustness. Vivaldi also supports mail etc but i have not used that yet.
Bromite and Fennec as backup on mobile (one place where you should go with chromium since security really matters here and things need to be patched ASAP) and Firefox, Vivaldi and Chromium as backup on Linux.
I thought Vivaldi was a gimmick for a long time but it grows on you. I ended up recreating stuff like gestures and sidebar from Vivaldi in Firefox with extensions.

Firefox.
I've been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I'm back with Firefox.
Edge.
Native vertical tabs + edge drop is just too good.
I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.
Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).
I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.
I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.
