We don't have one and some of us can use some help (looking at @twenty who loves this tech-forward website).
@unclemark what do you think of the new Mozilla claims? I'm tempted to swtich b/c Chrome is such a shit show. I know Brave is out there, but would you still recommend that over Firefox? I need it for mobile + laptop (PC) b/c of password sync, etc.
Any iPhone 18 users? Thinking about upgrading, but heard some mixed reviews in terms of button locations and functionality.

I can't imagine using anything else but Firefox. No reason to not give it a good test drive before committing.
Technically, Chrome is a fine browser, but all the tracking and lack of customization available makes it unusable for me. Firefox is open source, which allows it to be customized and laid out and configured in ways that other browsers don't allow. I don't go crazy beyond the defaults, but I do have mine laid out they way I like it. Chrome doesn't give me that capability. Use it with the uBlock Origin add-on for popups and bullshit and you won't (or shouldn't) look back.

I have uBlock on it, but each Chrome tab uses too much RAM. I think I remember you saying Firefox was markedly better on that.

It should be, although that's never been an issue for me so I've never concerned myself with it. (Linux itself does a far better job with RAM than Windows.) RAM usage in and of itself is a nothingburger -- RAM that's not used is wasted. It's a problem when you're short on RAM or the browser isn't releasing it like it should.
Again, take it for a week's test drive. Run it through its paces and see how it does for you. Browser preferences are more a question of personal fit and feel than technical.
Best browser to use on iPhone, Apple Mac, and windows?

I've never used iOS or Mac, and haven't used Windows in nearly six years. That said, I believe Firefox has versions for fruit, and the Sync feature allows you to keep everything in sync (duh) across them all. Like I told JDB, give it a weeks test run and see for yourself.

Best thing to do with your iPhone...
Best thing to do with your Mac...
And if you are gonna run that bloated fecking Windows 11 make sure your PC's specs are high end
A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"

And there are plenty of additional options as well.

Any of them that has incognito mode... duh.
that’s where my iPhone is going when it dies. I’m not wasting money on another one.

I’ve been using ublock with Safari and it’s been doing pretty well, although mixed results in Europe.
