Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I’d like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don’t want to explain.
Also Firefox.
Vivaldi. I use Firefox too, but I love the mouse gestures and other features.
Floorp. It’s a Firefox fork with good privacy and security, but not as intrusive as Librewolf and doesn’t break websites by default
Firefox
Firefox. I used to be an avid Chrome user, but the domination of Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc) is scary. It essentially gives Google control over what happens on the internet. So I switched to Firefox and it’s been a great browser ever since
Firefox
An established foundation with good interests and goals running it (unfortunately it’s not quite that clear cut - but the best, closest). The source of free software development. Extensive feature set. Robustness.
I haven’t seen the need to use a fork, and like and prefer the idea of using and supporting the one that’s investing in the engine development - even if it’s largely only through free use. (Using forks does not support them this way.)
When briefly using chrome dev tools I’ve always preferred and went back to Firefox dev tools for web development.
Sharing my data with an independent org like Mozilla feels much better and safer than with Google. The services are free software and could be replaced if it ever need be. Still, Mozilla is big enough to expect stability across time.
Tech wise there’s not much difference between the three big players Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
If it weren’t Firefox I’d feel more comfortable with Edge than Chrome.
If Firefox isn’t available, the next best choice would probably be de-googled Chromium (note that Chromium is not necessarily fully de-googled by default) or Safari. Edge is just Chrome plus Microsoft.
Firefox. This browser became solid one, have no issues with performance and plugins support are great. Also Mozilla seems to be against of what Google is doing, such as web DRM.
Also have Google Chrome installed as a backup, and mainly use it for things like WebSerial. Other than that - not using at all.
Firefox + ublock origin
Brave, thinking about using firefox, and degoogle more
Firefox for the past 19 years. No need to change at this point.
Home pc: Vivaldi
Phone: Vivaldi
Work pc: Vivaldi + Firefox
Edit: i really liked the old Opera browser (12.16 and prior or whatever), and Vivaldi is the closest to that
Vivaldi on laptop, Orion on iPhone — but as of last week Orion is crashing multiple times a day (after months of use without issues).
Firefox all day. Been using it since the early 2000s
Keep going back to Chrome, but back on Firefox. The problem is all the webpages Firefox tends to break unfortunately :(
