Also Firefox.

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.

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

Firefox for the past 19 years. No need to change at this point.

Firefox

Librewolf, because it's a hardened version of Firefox

Firefox. It's better, IMO, to follow a process of how to manually harden it because then you know how to allow exclusions to the hardening when things go wrong.

Firefox. I've always used Firefox except for services that don't support it (like GeForce Now, which I do have Chrome installed for). I'd say my main reason for sticking with it is wanting to support a more "open web" concept. I also use it on mobile in order to get adblock there and appreciate the browser sync.

Firefox + ublock origin

Wii browser

Firefox.

Firefox with ublock always

Librewolf, basically Firefox but more privacy, I did tweak some settings for usability which may have made it a bit less private though

Firefox on desktop & mobile

Firefox, because it's simply the right choice. And also because it integrates well into my everything.

Firefox all day. Been using it since the early 2000s

Firefox with a load of plugins. Mostly adblockers, cookie blockers, and one that automatically runs through the dark patterns that are cookie prompts and rejects all the cookies it can.

Firefox on pc and mobile. I like the extensions and I like that the Mozilla foundation is a non profit trying to improve the internet.

Firefox.

It's the only browser which can give me certain very simple behaviours. For example, noise the bookmark toolbar a lot. And I want bookmarks from that toolbar to automatically open in a new tab when I left-click on them. Firefox can give me that, whereas Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers don't even give me the option. I have to middle-click or ctrl-click, otherwise that bookmark mercilessly opens over my current tab. Could I teach myself a new habit (middle-click instead of left-click in the bookmark bar)? Sure. Should I have to?

The only Chromium browser that was able to give me this behaviour is Vivaldi, and that had a whole lot of other problems.

The other killer Firefox feature is tab containers. Wouldn't want to go another day without them.

Firefox!

Firefox on Mac and PC syncronized.

• 1Blocker (as an alternative to uBlock - it’s pretty good)
• Achoo (for debugging websites)
• Amplosion (for redirecting AMP sites (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages)

The moment Firefox on iOS/iPadOS gets to use it’s own engine and run it’s own extensions I’m swapping to that, though.

Firefox on my desktop, Fennec on my phone

Firefox - bookmark side bar is still the only reason I can’t use chrome (besides issues with privacy et al)

Firefox, always have been Firefox for me.

Firefox at the moment, but every so often I get fed up with its performance and switch to Chrome. Won't happen anytime soon at the moment, due to the Mv3 shit they are pulling off though

Firefox. With Tree Style Tabs and UI tweaks detailed here: https://programming.dev/comment/1906253

Arc (only on Mac for now), still not completely mature but I hope they improve performance and stability in the future, as the core ideas are pretty great

Their spaces, pinned tabs and splitted views really make for a great experience

Firefox. Moved because of the Manifest V3 changes around November 2022

I've been using Firefox as my main browser since it was called Phoenix. When I was 17 back in 2004 I put up flyers in my hometown to advertise its release. I'm never switching browsers.

Recently switched from brave to Firefox+ublock mobile and PC.

Any list of suggested extensions?

Firefox, have it since I switched to it from the Mozilla suite.

Firefox whenever possible, and Brave when a page is broken in firefox.

Until recently, chrome. Recently I started experimenting with Firefox and qutebrowser.

FFFL (USBCA)

Firefox for life unless something better comes along

Librewolf

Firefox both on my desktop computer and mobile phone

w3m on a vt terminal connected to a headless netbsd box.

Firefox, but I wanted to give a nerdier answer.

another one for Firefox. I use it on PC and Android too, tho it has some issues and bugs on mobile. But I don't care.

Firefox. Extensions make it soooo much better.

https://pulsebrowser.app its a minimalist Firefox fork with an extremely handy sidebar and sane defaults

Mac: Firefox is my primary, Edge for things that don't work in Firefox, Safari for things that don't work in Edge.

PC: Firefox and Edge.
