Mozilla Firefox and Brave, I would say about 85% of my time is spent in Firefox, 15% are webpages that won't cooperate without using Chromium.

Firefox is my browser for life, but I use a lot of them depending on the context. Chromium has very good dev tools that I need for my work. Safari has good battery performance on macOS laptops. Arc has some nifty new ideas.

Web application developer by trade... So, unfortunately Chrome at work. But, at home and on mobile, Firefox 100% of the time!

[–] bokudoku@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Edge, and works really well so far.

I use Brave and Vivaldi.

[–] cstaaben@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Brave for me. I like the built-in add blocker and since it's Chromium-based, I can still get a lot of the extensions I've been using for a while now. I had been a big Firefox proponent but they hit that block of time where it was just really slow and buggy/janky and I switched to Chromium-based browsers. Been hard for me to find a reason to switch back.

I use a couple of browsers because… why not :P

Mobile: Brave (default browser), Safari (pretty much only for news reading since it’s not my default browser anymore), Firefox Focus (quick lookups), Arc (haven’t tested it much yet tho)

Desktop: Brave and Safari (for work), Arc and Firefox (for personal browsing)

Firefox on PC, Safari on Mac.

Was content (complacent?) with Edge for a long while till performance dropped off a cliff in latest updates (so much for BingAI). Had been using Ungoogled Chromium more but rough corners annoyed me. So recently tried Vivaldi and was hugely surprised how much its improved since I last used it. And being entirely more flippant these days, RGB integration is a fun (and pointless) feature.

Mull has been very good to me, so I've stuck to using it so far.

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Firefox for work and most things due to it being open source and with a good ad and tracker blocker.

Chrome for YT (AdBlock off to support creators) and for running the incremental games for my channel (they generally work better with Chrome). Although I am considering switching to Vivaldi for this purpose.

[–] picpak@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Safari because of the level of iOS/Mac integration. If it ever switches to something based off Chromium, then off to Firefox I go.

[–] kleinheld@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Safari on iOS/iPadOS and Firefox on Windows/macOS.

Hoping for alternative browser engines and extensions in third-party browsers on iOS, maybe already with iOS 17. Then I could probably switch to Firefox on all platforms.

I'm a stubborn guy using Firefox since Firefox 3 times.

I do have a few other browsers installed (Midori, Chromium, Lynx [yup!] ) but I can't recall the last time that I used any of them.

[–] computerguy@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ungoogled Chromium.

I was looking for private browsers, and found myself astonished at how the market is saturated in Chromium-based browsers, and how every website seems to only support theses browsers, so I had to accept that Chromium will be all there is until a new big thing appears, and wound up finding a Chromium fork that seems to remove all google aspects from it. I've had to tweak a few things but the experience has been very smooth so far.

I've used a few firefox forks but decided to KISS and stay with Firefox.

I use Chrome for work as their dev tools are better and it allows me to easily separate both.

[–] HrBingR@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I might get flack for this, but I like Microsoft Edge. Based on Chromium and has vertical tabs which is nice, and good support for PWAs since MS killed off their native MS Teams for Linux app. Was too hacky trying to get Firefox to work the way I wanted, with vertical tabs, and no native support for PWAs.
