Curious, why isn't Edge an option? It's supposed to be the best alternative right now.

Microsoft provides Linux and macOS builds (I use it on macOS whenever something doesn’t work right in Firefox, which is thankfully rare). If the reason you’re not using Windows is a Microsoft allergy though, that doesn’t help. Ungoogled Chromium works for that use case though.

Microsoft now provide binaries for Debian and RHEL based Distros. Used Edge on Ubuntu for more than 6+ months for work, probably one of the best experiences I had with a browser now that I think about it.
