Opera is just chromium with extra spyware and shit. Firefox is mentioned a lot because it is foss, and my favorite browser for that matter.
Sadly this is the truth these days, opera certainly has had it moments in the sun in the past (especially on lower spec devices) but I would personally stare clear these days
Firefox is really the only true alternative
Small shout-out to edge browser's built in pdf editing functions though, this is really handy on PC at times
And Edge's built-in vertical tabs. They're so clean and neat and the groups are colored and feel good to use while with most other browsers, vertical tabs feel like a hack, like you're going against the browser's intended usage. A year ago you'd have a hard time convincing me to use any Microsoft products but after using Edge at work for a while, I switched away from Firefox on my personal machines as well.
