Chrome use to be my preferred but I always had that "Waiting for cache" issue and it would take forever.
There are many good mozilla based browsers that allow the freedoms that Firefox chose to remove. Unfortunately Cyberfox, a good browser, is facing demise unless it is reserrected by a new developer. Waterfox is a great browser and regularly updated. Your data can be copied from Firefox to either of the above browsers too.
Opera is also a first rate browser, and by default has a built in free VPN.

Firefox for me - for many, many a year.
never been a fan of Google, so Chrome is always low in my list.
each time FF makes a change I don't like, like Quantum (although that one I did actually like) I give other browsers a spin, most recent being SlimJet and Opera.
loved them both and used them for around two months but for some reason that know escapes me, I went back to the old and trusted FF.
I have my own start page with personalised HTML and Javascript and FF is the only browser that seems to follow most of the accepted standards the most.
Oh, and I just remembered the reason for leaving FF those months ago - it was when uBlock Origin had that hiccup and wasn't supporting Firefox's WebExtension change to UBO's, somewhere around uBlock v1.12 or something, took gorhill awhile to release a fix.

Used Palemoon for ages some time back and found the developers very slow to react to issues, both Cyberfox and Waterfox are improvements to Palemoon, seem much more active with updates and will allow more freedom with my choice of extensions.
Chrome itself is a pretty secure browser, one of the best UNTIL you start adding extensions.
Not too many users stop at one extension, and Ublock wont stop unwanted baggage with extensions.
