There are some good reasons to not use the known browsers these days (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera), privacy & user tracking data most of all, some of them even embracing de-platforming.
So here are some suggestions.
Brave = created by former lead dev of Firefox, includes built in blocking features, ideal for Google Chrome users as its a fork of Chrome so its works with all the same extensions.
Vivaldi = created by former Opera devs, uses Chrome engine but has a lot of features, good for Firefox or Chrome users, works with Chrome extensions.
Pale Moon = an up to date fork of classic Firefox back when it was a more flexible browser, good for long time Firefox users, works only with older Firefox extensions, not the simple modern ones.
Librewolf - a fairly new addition given the change in mozilla's practices, is linux only at the moment but kept up to date and removes the tracking elements of Firefox.
If your still using the stock web browser considering giving any of the above a try.
