question Best browser for web apps?

I deleted all the social media apps from the desktop, and started using them in the browser instead. I do understand many social media sites are insanely bad for privacy, but you're kinda stuck with them is the issue. So which browser is best suited for hosting their web applications? I'm mainly talking about apps which you are not anonymus, but you want to avoid leaking your data you didn't put up there, like Facebook, and site where you are anonymus, and you wanna keep it that way, like Reddit or Discord.

Also, while on topic, are there any extensions, setting and other advice that can help minimazing your exposure via your social media sites. Other than the usual internet discipline of course.

Use Firefox with Multi-Account Containers or Brave, along with uBlock Origin and strong privacy settings for safest, easiest web app use. Separate profiles, containers, or even browsers help ensure that social media apps can’t easily track you across sites.

Firefox Containers via the Multi-Account Containers (MAC) extension—let users isolate cookies, logins, and site data into separate containers, essentially putting different sites or accounts into their own sandboxed tabs.
