firefox

considering the big monopoly of chrome based is not really free, it's paid by google or microsoft mining user data

In fairness, Firefox is also paid for by Google.

Firefox gets like 90% of its funding from Google for making Google the default search.

Yes, google pay for being the default search engine, but that doesn't mean they collect your information. And even better, there are also Firefox forks security oriented.
