What's your current favorite browser for Android?

I'm currently using firefox and thinking of switching, would love some more features and a better aesthetic, but I'm interested in what others are using!

Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use

I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that's what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I'm not sure what changes I'd like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head

when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can't be dismissed

- What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I'm always interested in hearing about other good ones.
  
  uBlock Origin is the main one
  
  Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile
  
  I'd love to learn some more as well :)
  
  Cool, thanks.
