Firefox on PC and Android. I've been using it almost since it came out.

But in the early days, the UI was super slow and extensions tended to slow it even more, so I moved to Chrome for a few years.

Then back to Firefox, but the devs caught an attitude and didn't want to listen to users, so I moved to Edge (Chromium) for a couple of years. Apparently, the Firefox devs did end up listening, so it's all good again.

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!

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

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.

[–] 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.

Waterfox (Firefox fork), since it lets me put tabs below address bar natively, without a css file, and Vivaldi for sites that need Chromium.

I’m really enjoying Arc - the keyboard functionality is great, I like the way spaces work, and it’s quite pretty. I recommend checking it out if you can get an invite.

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

Firefox and Kiwi on mobile.

Firefox and Brave on desktop.

Oh and Chrome, too. I'm sorry but my job requires it. :(

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

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.

[–] 1c5473@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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)

[–] 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.

[–] arbiter329@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Firefox on PC, Safari on Mac.

[–] paaviloinen@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Firefox on Debian at home, mostly Chrome on Windows at work (sometimes Edge too) and Chrome on Android on my work phone due to practical reasons.

[–] Nyanix@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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.

[–] lightrush@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chrome. The browser is still great and Google's already in my bedroom. I donate to Mozilla Foundation. I secretly hope that Mozilla takes over a Chromium fork.

[–] fruitywelsh@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Firefox and sync my mountain of addons between all the machines I have it on. Fennec on android.
