I've used Firefox for a long time. Too many little tweaks and customizations to change. That, and a few thousand bookmarks I don't want to have to import and attempt to manage somewhere else.
 
Chrome, got everything in it now and too lazy to get off. If I did, it would be to Firefox.

On mobile, I actually use Samsung's browser because it has extension support -- meaning I can add adblockers to it myself and not rely on other browser apps with built-in ones.

Brave is miles better than anything else out there.

I was using Brave earlier this year, but they soured for me when this news came out - https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-affiliate-links-crypto-privacy-ceo-apology

For the unfamiliar,
The basic premise of Brave is that it blocks lots of ads. This is intended to decrease load times of sites while increasing security.
Brave also gives you the option to opt-in and have those removed ads replaced with Brave Rewards ads which can be used to generate Basic Attention Tokens (part of a blockchain/cryptocurrency). Then, Brave empowers the user to allocate those tokens to themselves, site publishers, advertisers.
 
I love using the Firefox (nightly build). Updates everyday...I have never had it crash nor any concerns while using it in my daily life. I am sure a business wouldn't be thrilled to use it since it is an "alpha" version...but it is solid!
 
All iPhone users should note that on iPhones all browsers must use the default safari rendering engine. Apple does a very bad job following web standards (now that edge uses chromium safari is the worst browser at staying up to date), but switching browsers won't change the performance or any issues of things like broken designs because they're all the same under the hood.

It is useful to use chrome on iPhone for syncing things like bookmarks, history, passwords etc. It's hard to say if any iPhone browsers value your privacy more than others because apple keeps all their safari code under wraps, and again all browsers on iPhone are just "skinned" safari browsers.
 
Chrome. I've tried switching to others like Opera, but I always go back to Chrome because of its features.
