Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act (www.windowscentral.com)

If I have to keep a chromium browser around, in addition to Firefox, I'd rather edge than mainline Chrome.

Arc is weird but pretty good once you get used to it.

DuckDuckGo is good if you want a minimal browser and don’t really care about extensions

Brave is OK if you want a slightly more private version of Chrome

Honestly though, just use Firefox.

All Mac browsers are just Safari anyway

You might be thinking of iOS browsers? Mac browsers use a variety of engines

Brave seems like a superb option.

Opera seems like a reasonable option, I guess, but I'm not sure if it has the market share to actually be seen and controversial if there was something to be controversial about.

I'm not sure I would. Edge is trash, it keeps shoving the AI bullshit, all the MSN news stuff, ads for cheaper shopping, all in your face when you first start up. While you can turn it off, it gets annoying doing that every time you reinstall or spin up a new VM. Chrome, for all its faults, is a lot less annoying freshly installed.
