Your threat model is unclear to me, so I'm a little confused as to why you don't just use Firefox across all platforms. You could use multi-container support to stay signed in on certain things and clear cookies in others iirc.

LibreWolf or maybe ungoogled chromium ...or Firefox with arkenfox's user.js
Ungoogled chromium need to be hardened since its goal is to be a drop-in replacement of chromium without google.
Orion browser is good for iOS and macOS.
Was buggy as hell for me on iOS
I'm confused. Are you deleting everything nonstop on Safari? Because 2fa should be persistent on default.
As for a mullvad alternative, maybe librewolf.
I'm using Librewolf. The problem is that when cookies are deleted some sites will want to text you to "authenticate" your browser again. Your name and password alone are not enough.
It gets old doing this repeatedly. And it pisses me off that they act like they are being so secure by doing this yet they use a text instead of an authenticator app.
You can set exceptions per site in LibreWolf. Would that solve your issue?
It just might. But my problem might still be that I have my entire history and cookies are deleted as they age past 28 days so anything that I only rarely return to is lost. I might have to check into exceptions.
Tor Browser
I use Librewolf on my laptop for most browsing, but I keep Google Chrome open just for Gmail, calendar, and drive. I know what you mean about losing the damn cookies making you suddenly have to get a text to authenticate again and that sucks.
When I come across those sites I usually just pull them up in Chrome instead since I keep it open anyway. They are typically not tracking sites anyway and I'm using an adblocking DNS.
elinks or w3m
Mozilla based, I use LibreWolf. Chromium based, I use Brave or Vivaldi.
