Help finding a browser

I was wondering what browser people on here use and if anyone could help recommend me a browser. I currently use Chrome for everything but I kind of want to get away from it cause of Google, limiting ad blockers, and RAM usage.

The issue I’m having is:

1.) I want to slowly start getting better at privacy and stuff. I don’t care too much about being super private, but I want to try and get better about the data I share and stuff. I have trouble understanding which browser would be best to use in this kind of situation. I keep finding mixed information and I don’t know how to make sense of it. Like Firefox seems good, but then I hear stuff like Google gives them a lot of money. That seems no good.

2.) I think Safari is good, but I have similar kind of concerns with the above cause it’s owned by Apple. Also its not on PC. While I primarily do a lot of stuff on my macbook nowadays, I still game from my PC and, many times, will just do work on there. One thing I like about Chrome is that it syncs. Most of the other programs I use also sync between my Windows PC and macbook, but Safari wouldn’t.

Tbh my only real concern here I guess is finding a suitable privateish browser. I think most browsers have sync functions and are available on multiple platforms (though I could be wrong about that).

I don’t think Firefox (or Safari) being paid for Google searches is a dealbreaker. Just switch your default search engine if you want to.

I use Brave as my default browser. My main reason is it blocks a lot of, for me, unwanted ads (YouTube ads included).
