I don't use either Chrome neither Edge. With my laptop I always use Firefox which works with ordinary Google engine, and also use Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension for protection. With my Pixel 8, I only use Google occasionally.

Work only allows those two. I used to use Firefox for all my work, but they don't want multiple browsers to monitor and maintain. Non-approved are forcibly uninstalled. That is likely just because we then have a large company's a$$ to chew if something breaks, like something recently did due to a Win11 update that went out to everyone in the company...nuisance only though, not a show stopper. I own multiple apps, so I have to comply.
