I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) (www.zdnet.com)

The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can't use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it's ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

Gotta say, it’s kind of a bummer to be downvoted for sharing my own experience. Are those ‘disagree’ or ‘doesn’t contribute to discussion’ votes?

They're "how dare you tout a chromium browser" votes. The FF circlejerk is and has been crazy for a while now

It's not crazy. Google is doing the damndest to destroy the internet as we know it and using those browsers makes you complicit in that destruction.

I'll link an unpopular opinion I posted yesterday: https://lemm.ee/post/59167603

My own comment has been: "Don't you dare to have opinions that don't align with mainstream thinking here".

Here either you praise Mozilla/Firefox/Gecko or you are insulted and treated like a pest. And that's a deterrent for me to even look at Mozilla/Firefox/Gecko. I prefer not to be part of that community.

That's a very childish mentality. You don't have to be part of a community. It's just a browser.

Don't take it to heart, bro. I saw people downwoting for an honest "thanks". 😄
