I wasn't aware Brave was transphobic. I just knew they were kinda crypto-sketchy.
I also tested Pulse Browser which unfortunately has been discontinued and won't even open HTTPS sites. And I also tested Otter Browser which is loosely based on Opera Presto, but unfortunately it uses a pretty old webkit engine. But those browsers also come with builtin adblock.
I was aware of Librewolf, I just thought the default security might be a bit much if in a hurry.

    Here’s a good writeup of why Brave is an option that really should be avoided

    Ah, I see.. Yeah, that's pretty bad. Run by a bigot, and the company is injected with Peter Thiel money, and they've injected referral codes to URL's. Oof.

    What's funny is the mention of Vivaldi as a better alternative, which is what I use currently, but I didn't suggest it as the builtin adblocker isn't as good as µBlock Origin. No extended syntax unfortunately, so it'll not block ads on eg. Youtube.

    Ill also throw IronFox on Android and SnowHaze on iOS into the mix for non-desktop users.

    Oh yeah, IronFox on Android is amazing. My choice of browser as well.
