(5/X) Migration update: Moving from Windows to Linux!

I’m planning to migrate my bookmarks too, and I’m wondering which internet browser to use next. I’ve used Firefox and Brave, both of which are solid options, but I’m curious:
What are your favourite secure browsers?

Drop your go-to choices and explain why you love them!

@RonjaBiernat Have you looked at forks of those browsers? I personally use Zen Browser, which is a modified Firefox. I really like its interface design and tab features, and it remains FOSS.

@RonjaBiernat I recommend using several browsers in parallel, it's a way of keeping stuff apart and scattering data.

I use degoogled Chromium for my projects.

@RonjaBiernat LibreWolf has been my all time favorite for a while now. It's pretty much just firefox with ublock origin pre-installed and a better, privacy-centric config

@RonjaBiernat Vivaldi is good and has decent support for Chromium-based plugins. Made in Europe.
