I'm learning french defense, but it's so weak for developing pieces especially for white bishop

Simplest and best is to defend 1 e4 e5 and 1 d4 d5.

If you look for an opening to use against everything, then either the Hippopotamus,

or the Hedgehog spring to mind, but they lead to cramped positions.
