Best cross-platform web browser which works across Apple, Android Windows & Linux

Hello,
I am currently using Vivaldi, which is based on Chrome, as my default browser, but it has some accessibility issues.
The main issue, is that you cannot save pages to favorites or access any other item in the context menu with Voiceover. As a workaround, you must use the share button & perform the action that way. Also, on windows, you cannot easily view folders &/or favorites when using a screen-reader.
I'm seaking a web browser which will work across all Apple platforms as well as Android & Linux.
What do people recommend?
Edge is good, but Voiceover won't tell you what tab has focus if several are open, unless you close one first. This has been an ongoing issue for almost 2 years now. I've reported it to Microsoft multiple times, but received 0 response.
Any & all recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I would recommend Firefox. I currently use it on my Windows 11 laptop, as well as my iPhone. I don't really touch my MacBook Pro anymore, as it is rather old and outdated. Though, I did use Firefox on there for a time, when I was active on that device.
You may have some screen reader related issues with macOS, but this is not Firefox's fault, it would be VoiceOver on macOS, which is all kinds of broken these days. Otherwise, Firefox is a solid choice for your needs.

Hello,
I've tried Firefox in the past & it's ok.
However, my employer uses Microsoft products & I really like Edge, especially now that Mozilla has officially shutdown Pocket.
I'm planning to get rid of my Mozilla account soon.

While I do not know if Edge is on Linux, it is absolutely on windows, macOS, and iOS/iPadOS.

Update: after doing a quick search, it turns out that Microsoft Edge is in fact on both Android and Linux. So go for broke, and have fun! :-)

Hi,
As stated in a previous comment, as well as in my original post, the tab viewer is inaccessible to those of us who use Voiceover.
I've reported it to Microsoft multiple times, but they don't seem to understand.
I've even informed the representatives at the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk & they had no idea what I was referring to.
Has anyone else found a workaround for this?
