Windows 10: Browser recommendations

IE11 is being supported by less & less websites, so at times, I've been using Edge. I don't like using Edge, I find it less customizable, heard & read that it's not as secure as many other browsers & throws messages & warnings at me from time to time even though I've told it not to. It also will not remember my setting when I need to use Google Authentication.

So, as far as security, privacy, customization & being light on the system; what's a good browser to go with?

recommended internet Browser

My favorite browser is Firefox and my preferred search engine is
DuckDuckGo.

As a advertisement blocker I use and recommend the browser extension/add-on
uBlock Origin which is much more than an advertisment blocker.
