    Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

    Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.

    Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.

      😂 I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can’t use chrome anymore.

    I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.

    I have changed browser maybe every five or so years, whenever I had issues with the one I’m using. I’ve been back on Firefox as primary for a couple of years now.

    Firefox.

    I’ve been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I’m back with Firefox.

    I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.

    Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).

    I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.

    I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.

    Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

    Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to “user interactions”, whatever that means.

    TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.

    PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^

    I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.

      yo question ab firefox coming from dude who knows very little ab it, i watched a video browser tier list by eric murphy and he listed hardened firefox in S tier, do u reach hardened firefox by downloading configs for it off github? how reliable is it and do things tend to crash if u try to have many options at the same time (like an amalgamtion of stuff from different ppl in order to reached a specific desired outcome, in terms of options, security settings and look)?

      Question, is there a way to silence all of Vivaldi’s updates? I’m ok with updating in the background but I had to uninstall it because it was so annoying

          Yeah, I guess I got used to other software keeping it out of sight/out of mind. At least on FF it just opens a new tab to let you know but it’s otherwise seamless so I was half-expecting the same. Maybe I’ll give it another go if I can find a solution or it’ll drive me nuts lol

      I like Epiphany, but I think it leaks memory or something. After running for a while it starts taking tons of memory and closing tabs doesn’t seem to release it (the computer goes back to normal when it’s closed completely though). Maybe it’s just the Fedora build, I’m not sure

      There’s also Otter Browser for another WebKit based choice, but it’s pretty rough and developed slowly
