What is your go-to, favorite Web Browser? [View all]

I use everything on the list I've provided, because old habits die hard. I've been a Web Designer since the late 90s, and the only way to ensure a satisfactory site is to test it in multiple browsers.

I'm a stickler for security and privacy. I use NordVPN, and most of my browsers are armed to the teeth with privacy extensions.

Because these extensions (and sometimes the VPN) will "break" a site, I keep one browser "vanilla" (no extensions) and with sites like "Album Art Exchange" (downloadable art for tagging your MP3 files), they BLOCK VPN use...I have to turn it off when I go there.

I like the "Workgroups" functionality in some of these browsers, but more often than not, Brave is my primary.

I'd be interested in knowing what you use, and what makes it your favorite.
