Been using Brave for several years on all my devices, I might switch to a Firefox variant at some point tho.

Floorp. It's a Firefox fork with good privacy and security, but not as intrusive as Librewolf and doesn't break websites by default
chrome
For work I use Safari, for fun I use Firefox, and for anything that demands I use Chrome I use Chrome.
Librewolf
Same
Brave on both.
- Native vertical tabs +1
- tablet UIs
- scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native
Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.
vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.
if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5

On desktop, Librewolf (Firefox) and Brave. Sometimes I need a Chromoum browser (thanks Google), and Brave is one of the better options.
On iOS, it doesnβt really matter. Though, I went with Brave. Ad blocking and background media playback is great.
On Android I use Mull, which is a hardened Firefox, with goals similar to Librewolf. Again, Brave as a backup.
Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with apz.overscroll.enabled set to true. The best experience on Linux.
Chrome on Mac.
Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

Arc!
At home, Firefox. At work: Chrome because I'm a web developer and our app is currently broken in Firefox
Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.
Qutebrowser and Firefox
Desktop:
Mullvad browser as daily driver (Firefox + Arkenfox + Tor Browser + ublock origin out of the box)
Degoogled chromium for any logged in accounts, each in its own profile (I prefer the chrome profile switcher)
Tor Browser for any onion sites
Mobile:
Mull (Firefox)
Opera
Safari for daily driver. Firefox for backup. Mullvad for the old site.
Edge.
