You could also try GrapheneOS, they basically only support Pixel phones.
Welcome 
Nice to have you here!

Welcome.
Floorp and Vivaldi are quite similar in their philosophy (lots of settings and customization). One is Chromium based, the other is Firefox based, so it mostly comes down to which engine you prefer.
Personally I say why choose? I use them both 
.
I used Firefox since version 1.0, and I liked it a lot, but become tired of neverending political statements and virtue signaling from the Mozilla fundation, I have adopted the “ungoogled-chromium” default package, and i slowly get used to it.
Would be glad if some little “tweaks” can be applied to it, then I can grab it for good, privacy over spyware always.
To answer your question @rugyada, my favorite browser is one that is not tied to Google; but I appreciate what Brave has been seeking to do so I have been using that lately. I used FF for years, and I only left because of their extreme activism. Also used Safari on and off back when I thought Apple cared about privacy. Boy they fooled me lol.
I used Midori on an Xfce de machine that was super old. I enjoyed that browser. I eventually will reinstall it on this Dell/OM setup I’m using now for variety. I have Ladybird but it’s so experimental at this point. Appreciate that it was featured by OM. Would love to see that browser take off.
I appreciate your de-Googled-Chromium you shipped with OM, that was a very practical balance of functionality and privacy 
. Wonderful work, wonderful choice.
FF had the ability to pop a YT video out into it’s own floating window; I haven’t seen that option in Brave. I miss that feature.
I didn’t realize this until recently. Wonder how they do that; also wonder how long it will last before Google cracks down on it.
Just commenting on a couple posts that jumped out at me; Yeah GrapheneOS was made for you if you want to go that route. I’m on old iPhone tech at this point, but am looking for a used Pixel 9 to transition to eventually.
Learning new things reading these posts. I’ll give Floorp a try. Is their dev team product focused? Saw Zen mentioned too, don’t know it’s core, but I’ll look into it.
Andreas Kling giving a talk about the Ladybird browser at the FUTO convention (YT link). Interesting chat. Very much rooting for them and I’ll continue to use Ladybird on and off.

Mainly, floorp. for Study stuff Zen -beta flatpak rn- and for this corner of the internet the default ungoogled chormium. oh i also put brave on OM (use it on phone for chormium sites) as the default since it didn’t like making floorp the default somewhy.
Floorp and Zen are both Firefox forks. I’ve used Floorp in the past, and currently use Zen. They both function pretty similarly, but Zen offers more customization.

yep they are, my current problem with zen is that it is a flatpak only -afaik- and with floorp is that the system does not really recognize it since it is a ./floorp binary i got from the release page. other than than i use both happily : )

Floorp’s latest update, at least on flatpak, has removed the minimize and maximize buttons. I blame GTK.

I just use Brave.
Previously used Librewolf, but their security settings break so many websites, which is fine for most use cases but not work work environment.
Brave looks perfect, except by their showelware, but easy to disable.

you should blame flatpak tbh. why would one ever use a flatpacked browser as a main browser?

It is my favorite browser.
I’ve actually had some issues with other flatpak apps losing their minimize and maximize buttons. They also seem to ignore the titlebar button preferences, as I prefer mine on the left, but flatpaks all seem to automatically put them on the right. I’ve had this happen with a few apps, and then, randomly after an update, the buttons will move to where I’d like them (this happened with Zen a couple of updates ago)
it is my main browser. on OM i just grabbed the binary from the release page and made a kdemenu link.

used vivaldi for 50% of my browsing life, opera for the other 50%
they are on the additional programs screen, and that’s very nice, but if they weren’t they both provide a distro independent rpm, so
it’s luckily a breeze to install them

I have started to use Waterfox, which is found in flatpak.

Definitely Brave. The only choice for the true connoisseur

Floorp is your favorite @LeeTalbert? Just curious, why that fork and not Zen? I’ve used Zen a little bit just trying to keep some non-chromium in my life and it’s done pretty well. I should dl Floorp as well and give it a go.
Sometimes I fall into the trap of just using/working on my computers and not experimenting as much as I should 
My chromium flavors I’ve landed on are pretty solidly Brave and the OM un-googled Chromium.
Also, welcome @maldenvik! I hope you enjoy OpenMandriva and the forum here.
