Waterfox G5, because it's literally just modern Firefox ESR but with the ability to install legacy add-ons re-enabled.
I use this to make my own personal CSS themes and JS add-ons (as well as use existing ones like in the link above) and manage them in a way that's more elegant and streamlined than userChrome.
Currently I'm using Chrome, but the impending Manifest v3 fiasco made me look at alternatives. A couple of years ago I decided to ditch Chrome and use Firefox, that lasted a year and I moved back simply because of the amount of websites that just didn't look quite right on it (sadly developers are only targeting Chrome).
This time I'm looking into Vivaldi since it uses the Chromium base, has the Opera legacy attached to it, comes with a good ad blocker, which I hope since it's built-in should circumvent the Manifest v3 issue. The only issue I have with it is that it's completely closed source.
Personal Use:
Work Use: Edge. Honestly such an impressive browser - much faster than other browsers ime, great set of built in tools. If it wasn't for the privacy concerns, I would probably shift to Edge.
I've found vanilla chromium to be as fast as and occasionally faster than edge.
Mull has been very good to me, so I've stuck to using it so far.
Edge.
Native vertical tabs + edge drop is just too good.
Firefox
Either Firefox or Librewolf (fork of Firefox). On my Lineage, I use Fennec. I usually restrict it even more with custom uBlock Origin filters and dnsmasq sinkholes to get away from 'Sign in with Google'-like popups, though.
Firefox all the way. Vanilla on desktop and Iceraven (a Firefox fork) on mobile. I also have Wolvic installed on my Quest 2 which came from Firefox's VR browser, but I never browse the internet in VR lol
I use Vivaldi and Firefox. I like Vivaldi customisability, tabbing, workspaces, rss support and Firefox robustness. Vivaldi also supports mail etc but i have not used that yet.
Using Orion on iOS currently (thereβs a macOS version too). Itβs made by the same people behind the Kagi search engine. Iβm loving it. Built with WebKit and on mobile it utilises some power saving feature Safari does not.
They plan to release a Windows version eventually too, and using WebKit! (Not Chromium).
I have changed browser maybe every five or so years, whenever I had issues with the one I'm using. I've been back on Firefox as primary for a couple of years now.
I use Brave and Vivaldi.
Chrome for anything Google related. Firefox + NoScript for most browsing. I have pi-hole running on my network and don't permit anything but that node to query outbound for DNS.
Iβm in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.
Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isnβt best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).
I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.
I donβt use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally donβt have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.
Safari for everything. I'm deep in the apple ecosystem. Edge when I'm on my PC, once in a blue moon.
Edge, and works really well so far.
I've been using Arc exclusively for the past few months, and really enjoy the experience. It has so many nice little UX flourishes, and tab management is super clean and organized.
Brave. Open source, blocks everything and use Chromium for maximum web compatibility.
Brave. Because Mozilla made me switch from Firefox after almost 20 years due to its idiotic development trend (remove features, add crappy UI, disregard community feedback).
