Which browser do you use and why?

Using firefox but concerned now

Read about some alternatives:

ARC not OSS and VC funded, NO.
Waterfox, FOSS
Librewolf, FOSS
Zen, FOSS but is just a skin??
Ladybird, FOSS
Orion?
Arctic Fox
Mullvad

Edit 2/28: It seems there is no general consensus if we should switch and/or to what.

I use firefox and am actively looking to change to something, potentially librewolf.

Edit: just installed librewolf. it's super clean and I'm glad I got it. replaced firefox almost instantly.
- I like librewolf but for me video is so incredibly slow. Is anyone else having this issue?
  
  Have you tried enabling webgl, which by default is disable on Librewolf? You can do that by overwriting the corresponding setting, as it can be done for any Librewolf setting, in particular the webgl override needed is:
  
  defaultPref("webgl.disabled", false);
  
  If you do, Librewolf recommend using the extension "CanvasBlocker" given the fingerprinting allowed by webgl. There's a settings doc BTW..
