So which are the 'best' browsers for 2020 (according to you)?

[RollyShed]

Fiirefox because you can have the Menu at the top with Bookmarks. It makes life easy.
Unfortunately Firefox does not display some website correctly or the website writers don't write them properly. Text on top of text or "[image]" written on top of text, etc.

...Brave and Opera need to install a Chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package every month to view the videos...

I've been using Brave in Linux Mint Cinnamon ever since I started using Mint (19 months) and for quite a while before that in Win 7 and I never had to install anything every month to view videos.

Really I felt that Internet Explorer was the best browser I ever used starting with version 9 (before then, ugh!).

true, IE after a certain version was much better. But still not good IMHO Having to deal with applications requiring activeX and other proprietary plugins sure didn't help either

With Brave it was for some embedded cam streaming in fact

I never needed ActiveX or any plugins. IE's best feature was how well and easily it handled cookies.

You answered your own question by putting 'best' in quote marks, IOW, there is no definitive best one.

I use Chrome because it has better compatibility for various formats etc but I do clean my cookies a lot.

You better consider Ungoogled Chromium
It Strips Away the Privacy-Invading Features from Chromium
'Google’s got eyes deep inside both to track all kinds of stuff. Ungoogled Chromium is a special build that strips as much of that stuff away as possible.'
