I'm using Vivaldi rn and so far happy with it

Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.

Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.

PC: qutebrowser (nice, quick, ad-block and good native keybinds)

iOS: Ecosia (fork of Firefox app that I think is better for my use considering I use Ecosia as my search engine)

Firefox is such a great browser. I like that it allows all of the extensions and adblockers.

Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.

I just recently switched to Arc, and it is soo good. Really changing my workflow for the better. So nice to experience a product where people have opiniated ideas about how something can be done differently. It might not be for everyone, but damn its something for me.

I use Brave. It's not perfect but I like the built-in adblock and the crypto stuff is an added bonus.

Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to "user interactions", whatever that means.

TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.

Good ole Firefox for me! Can't say it's ever really let me down, and I've never had a problem finding extensions for it either (which other friends of mine say that they can't...)

And while I don't do a lot of web development, every now and then I'll dabble into it and FF's dev tools are pretty nice as well.

I recently switched from Firefox to Arc, which is in closed beta right now. It has a great Tab management. If anyone is interested I can send you an invite :)

I had Firefox running with custom CSS for a long while but then (on two different machines) I got a weird bug that increasingly led websites to time out while loading. Had to wait out the time out (reloading during didn't help) and then after time out it immediately loaded after an F5.

I switched to Vivaldi after that because it could be customized to pretty much exactly how I had my Firefox with minimal custom CSS.

@Bicyclejohn Firefox, I don't know why, I suppose that I used it always.
Then I use Brave for pages which are optimized only for Chrome (unfortunately a lot of official portals in my place).
In mobile devices Brave and the native (Samsung Internet) I haven't checked Firefox yet.

Vivaldi, mostly because of the “quick commands” keyboard navigation. Opens an Alfred / Spotlight style input, type what you want and jump right to that feature or toggle or website or whatever. Love me some good keyboard based nav. Definitely one to check out for anyone used to working a lot with Sublime.

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

Used Waterfox and Vivaldi for a while, but had to go back to Chromium. My daily driver is an old HP mini PC running the latest Linux Mint. Both Waterfox and Vivaldi seemed ok at first, but after a while, things just got too slow and both just seemed not to function as they should. Could just be that my machine is too old to keep up, but chromium runs fine.

librewolf on the desktop. works for me. Came from vivaldi, which is too big for my old laptop setup (takes ages to load). Using fennec on android. But, recently i needed a browser for android which allows a bookmark.html file to be imported (camera froze with sync) and couldn't find one. everything today MUST go over the sync (cloud).

After a long time of using Chromium browsers (from Chrome to Brave to Edge to Vivaldi) I ended up back at good old Firefox again. On Mac I just use either Safari or Firefox. There's been a time where I was particularly unhappy with Firefox, as at the time it felt sluggish to me. Now it's the exact opposite. I've become very frustrated with how sluggish Chromium browsers can be. While I appreciate the efforts of the Vivaldi crew I think I'm just happier with Firefox.

Wish I could figure out why clicking on my downloads in the download list doesn't open them, though (I'm on KDE Neon).

Aside from needing to have grapheneOS, Is there any reason not to use vandium on mobile?

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.

@Bicyclejohn firefox or opera one

Vivaldi. I was a huge Opera fan before they sold out, and Vivaldi is as close as possible to that in a modern browser. I also sometimes use Firefox, but find Vivaldi is faster, has features that work better together than a mishmash of extensions, and works with more stuff because chromium.

Firefox for PC as well as my Android phone. Although mobile Firefox only supports a few add-ons, UBlock is one of them. This means I can simply use YouTube in my browser without ads instead of having to figure out a complicated workaround! It's really nice.

PC - Librewolf, Firefox, and very rarely Brave

Phone - Mull and Firefox Nightly

Brave
