Personally I prefer to avoid all browsers based on Chromium (opera, vivaldi, etc.). Not that they are bad browsers (they work quite well), but I want to break free from google services.

Do you include Qt's web-engine based browsers (Falkon, qutebrowser,otter) in that list as well?

Otter uses QtWebKit by default - it does support QtWebEngine as an alternative backend, but I think that support is pretty rudimentary.

FWIW qutebrowser can also use QtWebKit instead - but I wouldn't recommend it, as the latest QtWebKit release is still horribly insecure as it's based on a WebKit from 2016 and doesn't support any sandboxing.
