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.)

Firefox user here, switched from Chrome around 3-4 years ago after getting fed up with chrome (don't remember why exactly).
Been pretty happy with FF since then
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.
Librewolf and ungoogle chromium for the occasional websites that only works well with chrome.
Firefox across mobile and desktop. Tried some more obscure browsers, but keep coming back to Firefox.
Firefox because its pre-installed on pretty much every Linux distro I'd want to try. I've used it for a long time, back in version 2.x. Then I tried out chrome for quite awhile but their pushback against adblockers made me migrate back to firefox. Haven't regretted it!
Firefox. And I even installed Thunderbird again after all these years, since they are going to have a UI refresh this summer. It's a very nice nostalgic feeling to once again use a local email client.
If the new theme is good, it's going to be a keeper. :)
I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.
Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox
LibreWolf (and Ungoogled Chromium) on Linux, Vanadium (and Mull) on phone. Parenthetical ones are what I use when my main browsers refuse to load something.
cough chrome. It just works. I've been sucked into the g-verse of things. I was a long time f-fox user but there was a particular print to pdf instance that I couldn't do any longer on f-fox, so I just surrendered
Firefox and Firefox.
I also use qutebrowser on one machine and I've been using Pulse which is a Firefox fork that is rather nice.
Honestly I'm just stick of all the Chromium browsers out there - stop giving Google such a massive lead in everything.
Firefox most of the time, portable/standalone chromium for the rare occasion where Firefox doesn't work.
Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.
Firefox + Librefox on a PC, Brave on my phone. At worka Firefox as well.
I use Firefox wherever I can will continue to do so in the forseeable feature. Why? Because Firefox is currently the biggest actor in FOSS web browser space. It makes most sense to support them.
I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.
@Bicyclejohn Firefox, whatever version is default on LM๐E, with containers, NoScript and Ublock for privacy purposes
Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I've flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.
Vivaldi, because it has amazing tab management.
Firefox, Epiphany web browser and midori. When I'm using windows I use Firefox.
Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...
I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.
Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.
Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.
on desktop - firefox
on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)
for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.
mozilla isn't perfect and i don't agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw
Brave on both PC and mobile, ad and cookie blocking built in, backed by EFF, and (for better or worse) Chromium-based so it's well-supported on sites like YouTube that take some animistic measures to lower Firefox quality of life
Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what's the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.
As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven't switched back. So, not to say that one little bug "ruined" FF for me, I just haven't had any reason to stop using Brave.
Safari for everything. I'm deep in the apple ecosystem. Edge when I'm on my PC, once in a blue moon.
You will hate me for this, but I use chrome and chromium mostly on my PC. It is just easier. Chromium being less spy-y than chrome.
Firefox user here :/ The only extension that I really use is the tree based tabs, but I wouldn't mind dropping that.
Trying to push over to qutebrowser because it fits a lot better with my setup.
Didn't know mullvad had a browser though, will have to check that out for sure.
Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)
Firefox is such a great browser. I like that it allows all of the extensions and adblockers.
