I use opera, Firefox and safari. I *really* like the "reader" on safari. There are more extensions on Firefox and Opera cuz Apple doesn't get in the middle. But the reader kills popups, nags, sidebars, and makes one column of readable type. That means a lot to me. Rarely, tor. Opera has a simple vpn built in. I just don't know many onion sites.

I use the zoom app on iPad, never the web interface.
