    I used to like Opera back in the day, but I trust Vivaldi more now.

    As easy to use as any of the other browsers plus useful sidebar and extensions and plug-ins but without an overwhelming number to choose from

    If you're considering a switch from iPhone to Android or one of its variants, IronFox is a privacy-focused alternative that's still good for daily use. But if you're planning to stay on macOS/iOS, it's not an option.

    If you want to avoid Apple's ecosystem and tracking on your Apple device, handing everything over to Microsoft - which is a lot pushier in my experience - instead seems like an odd choice.

    Very promising web browser, it's based on Safari AND it supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions.

    Orion is built on the same engine as Safari, but with more capabilities...and it can install most Chromium/Firefox extensions too. Closer to Arc or Zen in terms of how complex the interface is, a little more complex than Safari, but nowhere near Opera or Edge.
