I would stay away from Google Chrome. Takes up lots of room, many adware vulnerabilities and Google tracking is alive and well.

Brave Browser is getting a lot of attention recently and I've started using it as a second browser <https://brave.com>.

I don't know of any browser that meets all your requirements without add-on / extension.

Even if you don’t, hey, we’re getting a nice kickback from a third party for including it, so WE’LL love it.”
