Brave Software
For day to day use it works fine both business and personal. I find it fast and reliable. We are not using the LEO ai feature since we are already using ChatGPT but we probably should check it out as there may be some real benefit from a more integrated application. We have some company specific extensions which were important to us and so far they have all worked exceedingly well.

Cons
Brave Software
  • Brave's user interface, while generally intuitive, it could provide more options for customization and personalization. Allowing user to customize the browser's appearance, layout, and settings to a greater extent would enhance the user experience and cater to individual preferences.
  • While Brave offers syncing across devices, including mobile platforms, sometimes there are issues with the reliability and consistency of syncing bookmarks, settings, and browsing history. Improving the syncing functionality and addressing any potential inconsistencies would be valuable for users who rely on seamless integration across multiple devices.

We'll Simply put, we are still using Brave exclusively, so unless we're idiots, which we're not, Brave does a much better job than those other 5. We've also tried using Opera which isn't in the list and same thing, it didn't deliver the performance or features that we needed so back to Brave it was. What's unusual to us is that Brave is built on the Chromium platform, so you'd think ChromeOS would be better, but it's not.
