Web application developer by trade... So, unfortunately Chrome at work. But, at home and on mobile, Firefox 100% of the time!

Firefox is my browser for life, but I use a lot of them depending on the context. Chromium has very good dev tools that I need for my work. Safari has good battery performance on macOS laptops. Arc has some nifty new ideas.
Firefox on Debian at home, mostly Chrome on Windows at work (sometimes Edge too) and Chrome on Android on my work phone due to practical reasons.
Waterfox (Firefox fork), since it lets me put tabs below address bar natively, without a css file, and Vivaldi for sites that need Chromium.
Mull on phone, Librewolf on PC
Safari because of the level of iOS/Mac integration. If it ever switches to something based off Chromium, then off to Firefox I go.
Mostly edge
Itβs quite decent in terms of battery usage
And BingAI occasionally becomes useful for research

I'm a stubborn guy using Firefox since Firefox 3 times.
I do have a few other browsers installed (Midori, Chromium, Lynx [yup!] ) but I can't recall the last time that I used any of them.
I use a couple of browsers because⦠why not :P
Mobile: Brave (default browser), Safari (pretty much only for news reading since itβs not my default browser anymore), Firefox Focus (quick lookups), Arc (havenβt tested it much yet tho)
Desktop: Brave and Safari (for work), Arc and Firefox (for personal browsing)
Firefox and Kiwi on mobile.
Firefox and Brave on desktop.
Oh and Chrome, too. I'm sorry but my job requires it. :(
Safari most of the time just for simplicity and integration. First fallback is Firefox. On the very rare occasion that I have to fall back yet again, Brave.
IceRaven (for the addons and a few enhancements) and Bromite. Both are not good choices as they are poorly supported, but that's the reality of mobile browsers I guess.
Tbh I hate mobile browsers in general. I don't understand why they have to be so crippled, especially FF and its forks that keep getting worse with every major version.
Mull has been very good to me, so I've stuck to using it so far.
Brave on both PC and mobile, ad and cookie blocking built in, backed by EFF, and (for better or worse) Chromium-based so it's well-supported on sites like YouTube that take some animistic measures to lower Firefox quality of life

Mull on phone, hardened Firefox on desktop.
Firefox and sync my mountain of addons between all the machines I have it on. Fennec on android.
Do you run your own Firefox sync service or use Mozilla's?
I've wanted to set my own sync up but never got around to it. The few times I've skimmed over the setup process, it looked pretty rough.
Using Moz's but I would like to run my own at some point too!
Brave
