In all seriousness, I recommend a browser that takes privacy seriously. It's a spectrum -- but for me, Firefox is the right answer.

Compartmentalization via containers and/or profiles (and content filtering with uBlock Origin) is the only way to browse the modern web.

They effectively rely on Chrome to do all the heavy lifting, and have to manually undo or alter any "bad" move Google makes. And of course they do nothing for the health of the web at large, since they keep users locked into the Chromium engine. Vivaldi is not even fully opensource, although I admit it is the one I keep around for testing compatibility with the Chrome world.
