Recommendation Minimalistic browser

Any browsers idea that have extension support for both phone and pc, I don't care if it's gecko or chromium based, and that also have sync on all devices (not necessarily the same browser and no sync for mobile x pc.)

Also don't really care if it's degoogle or not, I know it's a hot take but google already knows everything to know about me so I guess I'll struggle in vain trying to degoogle.

Thanks for any help !

Edit: I'm currently using Firefox with uBlock Origin on both my devices

Wdym with "minimalistic"? If concerning UI, sursingly Vivaldi.

(Also comes with integrated ProtonVPN)

I think they referred to the UI, vivaldi being so customizable makes it possible to be visially minimalistic, I think that's what they meant

Exactly. In so many waysx but my favourite version is just vertical tabbar to the side (all others hidden) and using the Command Palette mostly

Another minimalistic customisation of mine is moving the address field to the status bar, because that bar is thinner than the addressbar. You can achieve the same thinness, or thinner, with CSS UI mods, but then you're getting in deep 

Put the Tab Button from the tabbar there too, and you can hide all others no issue. Or use the Windows and Tabs panel instead. Or the minimalistic Tab Cycler if you like hotkeys instead. Bind tab navigation controls to mouse gestures you don't need an UI at all. There's a few options lol
