I used Opera until they bailed on Presto in 2013. I then switched back to Firefox and I've been using it since.

Just use Firefox or one of its derivatives if you care about the open web. It has real ad blocking (uBlock Origin extension), is fast, and basically all the features you'd expect from a browser. Give it a whirl, you'll probably like it.

Everyone should be on Firefox/Mullvad browser IMO

And Firefox/Mull (no relation to Mullvad) on Android. On iOS, Safari is fine because it's all Safari on iOS under the hood anyway.

On Android there's also Firefox Focus, a cutdown version that's like "private" browsing all the time and clears your browsing history.
