I'm using brave since some time and after deactivating all crypto and AI stuff, it's surprisingly good. I'm always looking at others, but always come back to brave.
Mullvad is on my "to try" list.
I think LibreWolf is missing on your list and for some reason I think that's for more interaction and not because you forgot it, because I'm sure it got mentioned a lot before already :D

Gestern habe ich erfahren, dass #Mozilla in "privatsphäre-respektierende" Werbung investiert. Ich bin da etwas skeptisch; #Privatsphäre und #Werbung stehen sich irgendwo diametral gegenüber. Darum habe ich mich mal nach Alternativen umgelesen. Dabei bin ich auf #librewolf gestossen, ein Fork von #Firefox, mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Privatsphäre und Sicherheit. #UBlock und weitere Features sind standardmässig mit an Bord. Werde ich wohl die Tage mal antesten...

I use a combination of #Vivaldi and #Firefox.

Vivaldi with uBlock Origin Lite and the built-in blockers turned on works well, and overall, I trust the company, even if I don't prefer their browser. At least they're a European company with all the protections included.

Firefox, on the other hand, does have the reputation. I'm concerned about their direction though, and I have concerns about AI. If they develop it for localized translations, that's not too bad. As for advertising, I understand they need to find an income stream that's not Google, and if the ads are based on the site being visited, not on user browsing history, that's fine. I expect to see ads for beer and trucks when I watch sports, so why not ads for music-related companies if I visit a music website.

Zen Browser/Vivaldi here. Not comfortable with Mozilla putting "privacy preserving advertising" in the browser (honestly feels counterintuitive to the whole adblock thing), and Zen knocks that out with the setting automatically applied, while having a nice GUI.

Vivaldi's there as a Chromium backup (since Gecko is still slow to add some stuff e.g. gradients)
