  Currently Opera, because of inertia and laziness. Originally I started using it for the free VPN and internet hipsteryness of using a less popular browser (much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, the latter is something my brain finds very appealing). I have a proper VPN setup now, but I've procrastinated switching to Firefox because of the general inconvenience associated with any browser switch and the need to for a minor rewrite on a browser extension I wrote/use.

  Firefox on laptop and on mobile. Infact Firefox on mobile is infinitely better as it allows addons. I always setup ublock origin and performance on mobile is even better than desktop. It is great on laptops too. Just a little bit inconvenienced by 'works only on chrome' websites. That just fuels me more to stick with firefox.

  Vivaldi! I just can't get enough of it! It's very customizable, runs great, Chromium engine. I don't think I have ever been this happy with a browser. As for ads/malicius scripts I rely on ublock orgin.
