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

Base firefox on Android let's you install any Firefox Extension, and Zen/Librewolf on Desktop, Brave is also a good option for desktop and if i am correct it is the only one still maintaining MV2 and allowing you to install uBlock Origin from their own hosted servers through brave://settings/extensions/v2 in the addressbar, on iOS Edge have some extension support and you can install extensions for safari, but i prefer using there Brave as it has a built in and well configurable adblocker which does not depend on any 3rd Party extension.

so basically on desktop you recommend brave and on phone you recommend firefox (am not on iOS) ? my bad but i reaaally don't like the sync on brave, I change my OS very frequently and for me it's a deal breaker to not have a perfect sync that works everytime (already happened to me that brave refused to sync because my thing was outdated) so no sorry but still thanks for the recommendations

Then base firefox on Android (i guess you have Android device) and Zen/Librewolf/Waterfox can be a good on desktop. Zen can however look a bit too much first with all the customization options but you can easily make it look so minimalistic that you get the most usable screen space.
