Default What to fill gap between sink and counter?

There's a large gap between the sink's edge and the countertop. This gap is
hard to clean. If I fill it with silicone sealant, it would be easier to
clean, but wouldn't the process of scrubbing damage the somewhat flexible
sealant? Is there a sealant that is scrub proof?

The sink is improperly seated. Remove it, use a router to chamfer the
edges to match the sink profile and reinstall with white silicone
sealant. The gap will magically disappear and your worries abut
scrubbing will be history. Remove all the old sealant, clean the area
to be bonded with a polar solvent like alcohol or lacquer thinner.
The original install seems to be a DIY project that lacked proper
instructions. Good luck.
