BIG FAN of LadyBird! Of course, it can’t be my favourite YET. But one day. 
I got it here in my OM. Loving it. 
I hope you don’t do any banking or your taxes through Firefox. If you do Mozilla now has a license to do whatever it wants with your banking and tax data. And they have any usernames and passwords you’ve entered through Firefox too. If nothing else, it’s one more place that all that data they are collecting from you can potentially be stolen from. They are about to lose 80%+ of their funding so I’m pretty sure they’re planning to sell it.

Giving all my data to a “group of global activists” is the smartest thing I’ve ever done!

Brave as my primary. Chrome occasionally. Edge for work.
Used to like Firefox until they became “global activists”. I’ve removed that dud from every pc I support and replaced with Brave.

To be honest, on my vanilla system, that’s around 8 years out-of-dat, I find the Blink engine to be much faster than the Gecko engine, so I usually use Brave.
That being said, I refuse to use the Mozilla binary, and use Floorp instead, after a fair bit of hardening. I’d say it behooves us to have one FOSS browser for each of the major engines installed.
I have high hopes for Ladybird, I hope that it is at least as customizable as the Blink and Gecko offerings, at least after the FOSS community actually digs their teeth into it.

I am SO SICK of Brave!
-Claim to be a “privacy” browser
-Try to get me to watch your ads
-Run a Crypto scam on me
-Imbed AI into your browser and search platform (yeah privacy)
Lying and decietful behavior are immoral FYI
Advertising, lying about your intentions, running scams, and forcing spyware are all immoral acts.
I don’t use Brave, but…
-Brave has far less telemetry compared to its Chromium base
-Brave needs funding, and runs sponsored ads that don’t directly target the user and can be opted out of seeing.
-Brave needs funding, and runs a crypto ponzi-scheme to fund themselves.
Brave needs funding, and has a privacy respecting AI to compete with other browsers and search engines which can also be turned off.
I absolutely agree with the view that it behooves us to have one browser for each engine installed. I try and do this on both my x86_64 and arm64 devices. For x86_64, this usually means Brave and either Librewolf or Mullvad. When attempting to do this on arm64, I’m covered with Brave via apk, but I’ve yet to find anything suitable for the other side. I would welcome and appreciate suggestions from anyone on this. Having said all of this: I also voted on the poll, so I’m not just commenting here

Firefox Focus claims to be “privacy respecting”, but its still maintained by the wokies at Mozilla.
Thanks. I looked into that one, but you’re right, I don’t want anything directly from Mozilla… Especially not on a pristine Lineage install.

Unfortunately Edge web browser.
Gecko engine is very slow and Edge supports manifest V2.
always used opera in my life, and i always loved it
used also vivaldi for quite a long time and it’s a very good browser
i only have one main gripe with opera in openmandriva, the fact that at every update language of the browser resets to english, and this does not happen in other distros, which is weird
on the other side of the barricade, i’ve never used firefox but used waterfox for a short while and it’s definitely what i would be using if not for vivaldi and opera, a very good browser nonetheless…
