Hi,
As white try playing 1.e4 or 1.d4, as black mirror with 1. e5 or 1.d5, then try to move a new piece each move afterwards into/towards the center, making sure everything is protected adequately. You should get a good positions almost every time if you consistently try to do this. There’s no “best” openings, there’s just good ones and what you know and play your best with is best for you.

That's a good option. Check out other 1.d4 openings to vary it up a bit if you want, but QG should keep you busy studying for a few years, and in doing that you'll gain a black repertoire by default.

According to stockfish, the best opening is objectively the Ruy Lopez, because if you set a board in the initial position and ask its opinion, it's invariably going to suggest 1.e4, e5 2. Nf3, Nc6 3. Bb5. Not sure what to make of this information, but it's there...
1.b4
best opening I can confirm
Nothing wrong with QG - keep playing it.
Also try the Accelerated London system. Or my variation with 1. d4 2. h3 where you can keep the (super potent) London bishop with 5. Bh2

What are you talking about? Accelerated London System can't be 'refuted' and it is not passive, people who say that clearly don't have much knowledge about it...
Only the orangutan opening cannot be refuted 
Do you study orangutan openings??
When I started playing, the answer is yes.

I studied the opening in-depth, I knew it had to be passive. I looked into the lines and they refute white really well and hard. White deserves this for avoiding all of this hteory.
I am 2000, I have a good understanding of most if not all openings.
I too am a 2000, I've been playing accelerated london for my whole career, I've made a post on it, done thousands of hours on it studying it in-depth with GM's, dvd's courses and more, so I doubt your little in-depth look is refuting a opening that GM's used and is used at the top level...

You walk up to her and say, 'Wow, heaven must be missing an angel, 'cause you're down here with me!'
I am playing the London System and am having a fair amount of success with it. I won 8 of my last 10 games with it, and I'm not that great.
Took me a couple hours to learn. I don't have to worry about tons of variations to counter every possible opponent move during the opening. I just set it up with a couple tweaks as needed. Kind of automatic, and defensive..so I don't lose a bunch of pieces during the opening. During midgame, I just shove the whole mass downfield and I look for opportunities to take pieces and mate. I also don't have much problem with Scholar's Mate harrassment when using this.
I'm still a low rated guy with only a couple weeks of play, so take everything with a grain of whatever. But it seems to be helping me. I'm also trying to learn some e4 openings. But so far, this London System seems to be giving me the most wins when I stick with it.
I prefer colle zukertort over london system.
Yes

GM's rarely use it at top level. Most of the time, it is to get a draw with white, which Hikaru told, is over all, "a tricks only opening strategy". You are 1900, you can play any opening in bullet.
Well you're proving yourself wrong here which is funny: "GM's rarely use it at top level." (Which is A incorrect GM's use london system all the time maybe not at super GM level) you literally admit GM's sometimes use it. "Hikaru told, is over all, "a tricks only opening strategy"' once again defeating your own arguement, Hikaru calls it a tricky opening, not a refuted or passive opening which is what you're saying. And lastly this 'You are 1900, you can play any opening in bullet' well guess what mr. 2000 I've participated in the FIDE Youth World Cup Rapid U16 with players like Christopher Yoo, did it ever enter your brain that I don't use chess.com as my main?? Anyway good discussion, you basically proved yourself wrong... Even your c5 line, that's just mainline, literally nothing special
