Firefox because it's one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.

Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:

1. It's relatively trustworthy.
2. It uses the only non-WebKit-derived browser engine still in active development. Monoculture is bad.
3. It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.

Firefox on desktop and mobile. Better privacy and more trustworthy than a browser tied to a billion dollar corp.

Firefox gang 😎 I don't get the hate, the browser has great for decades

I use Firefox.

It's 90% because I remember the days of Internet Explorer and how they had a monopoly and could do whatever they liked - and they did. It was pretty common to have to write two versions of code so that it would work on IE as well as other browsers.

These days Edge, Chrome, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, pretty much all the major browsers except Firefox all use the Chromium engine, which puts them in a similar position as IE were in during the 90s and early 2000s. It scares me, so I use Firefox.

firefox.

nearly every other browser out there except Safari is just chromium with a coat of paint, and i am not a fan of monopolies.

Firefox for me.

I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.

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.

On desktop: Firefox On Android: Firefox

The extension support is the killer feature, and the open source+supporting a diverse web ecosystem is a close second.

Been using Firefox since it came out 18 years ago. Tried a few others for a bit, but always ended up back with the fox. Using it on all my computers and devices. Tried all kinds of plug-ins, currently using ublock, no-script, privacy badger, bloody vikings!, Bitwarden and.. I guess that's more or less it.

I do have to use Edge a bit for work, just because of some systems that doesn't really work on Firefox and I don't want to use Chrome.

Firefox, and have done for the past 20 years

Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now

I know all you nerds use firefox, but i'm still on the plebian chrome

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.

Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.

Firefox for personal. Chrome for work.

Firefox, I hate chrome lol

Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.

Firefox mostly. I want multiple rendering engines to be viable. Plus it has the plug ins I want on Android and still syncs to desktop. The one problem is chromecasting to the tv from windows. I wish there was a plug in that would let me do that.

Firefox still has some integrity unlike chrome and its clones.

Firefox Gang, checking in.

Vanilla Firefox here as well.

I use the regular Firefox with some addons. I've tried various browsers in the past and used them as my default browser for a while, but I always ended up going back to Firefox. Now I'm sticking with it.

Firefox cuz it uses like no ram and it's completely open source while being detached from the chromium ecosystem

Tor Browser, because my threat model is passive surveillance capitalism so anti-tracking is important.

Else, Firefox (vanilla).

I have to say it's amazing that everyone is actually staying on topic mentioning their favorite browsers and why without resorting to calling each other idiots for using some browsers and not others.

@Bicyclejohn Firefox

LibreWolf. It's Firefox without the adware and sponsored bullshit. I can only take so many "Sponsored Link", "Recommended by Pocket", and MOZILLA VPN OMG!1!1! random popups before I declare a piece of software adware, and Mozilla has crossed that line. LibreWolf also has a bunch of privacy stuff, some of which I turn off because I think it goes a bit too far and breaks some websites.

Firefox, I mean, its pretty much the default considering where we are

!firefox@lemmy.ml all the way!!

I use Firefox (and I've used it since it was called phoenix, and I've used the free software mozilla suit before that).

BUT I've been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don't trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.

Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.

I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.

Personal use: LibreWolf (Firefox fork) for desktop and Fennec for mobile.

Work PC: Edge (No options here)

Firefox.

I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didn´t, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.

I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google's efforts of gobbling up the web. I don't see any reasons to switch.

Historically Firefox but I've recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.

Firefox on PC, Mull on phone and Brave on tablet (until Firefox has tab bar for tablet UI). I can't browse the internet with awful ads, so ublock origin is a must.

vivaldi cus its just too gorgeous and so many things packed in face with heart eyes

On desktop I use librewolf, and occasionally vivaldi when I need to access something that requires chromium.

On mobile I use the duckduckgo browser, which has a lot of the features built in that I would require an add-ons with firefox. I used to use fennec, but it had the problem of being bloated with all of the default options on desktop like the sign in, which I do not like, and at the same time being anemic with only like 5 add-ons.

Also, fennec really annoyed me by hijacking anything that required a browser, even if one was built into a program I was using, or was a secondary option. I had the most annoying time trying to sign into SoundCloud, until I finally deleted fennec and I was presented with a normal, native login screen.

Librewolf and ungoogle chromium for the occasional websites that only works well with chrome.

Lmao I guess I’ll be the only person to say Safari. It’s fast, privacy focused, and secure. I don’t care about extensions and I like the UI.

Firefox. It's faster and more lightweight than chrome and has bigger fonts. I find chrome's label's eye-straining. Also it's not owned by Google or Microsoft. DuckDuckGo on mobile because I don't like the mobile version of Firefox, and I can delete all cookies using the fire button (On my laptop Cookie AutoDelete does that for me.)
