    Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

    Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

    Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

      And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts

          Ah yes, I think I heard of it ages ago; though it’s based on chromium so add blocking may stop working in 6-12 months,

            No. It is already in effect for over half a year.

            It won’t compleatly stop working but it makes it way more useless

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

    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.

      😂 I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can’t use chrome anymore.

      Do you run your own Firefox sync service or use Mozilla’s?

      I’ve wanted to set my own sync up but never got around to it. The few times I’ve skimmed over the setup process, it looked pretty rough.

          Hey there, if you’re only using sync for bookmarks and arent afraid of Docker, may I humbly suggests xBrowsersync, been using that for ages now on a selfhosted instance without hiccups.

            It is the addons, but I will definitely keep that in mind for others in the future! Thanks! (also I love containers, they really are the way to go)

    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.

    I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google’s efforts of gobbling up the web. I don’t see any reasons to switch.

    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.

    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.

    I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.
