Firefox all day. Been using it since the early 2000s
Firefox. I used to be an avid Chrome user, but the domination of Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc) is scary. It essentially gives Google control over what happens on the internet. So I switched to Firefox and it's been a great browser ever since
Firefox
An established foundation with good interests and goals running it (unfortunately it's not quite that clear cut - but the best, closest). The source of free software development. Extensive feature set. Robustness.
I haven't seen the need to use a fork, and like and prefer the idea of using and supporting the one that's investing in the engine development - even if it's largely only through free use. (Using forks does not support them this way.)
When briefly using chrome dev tools I've always preferred and went back to Firefox dev tools for web development.
Sharing my data with an independent org like Mozilla feels much better and safer than with Google. The services are free software and could be replaced if it ever need be. Still, Mozilla is big enough to expect stability across time.
Tech wise there's not much difference between the three big players Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
If it weren't Firefox I'd feel more comfortable with Edge than Chrome.
If Firefox isn't available, the next best choice would probably be de-googled Chromium (note that Chromium is not necessarily fully de-googled by default) or Safari. Edge is just Chrome plus Microsoft.
Firefox + ublock origin
Firefox for the past 19 years. No need to change at this point.
Vivaldi on laptop, Orion on iPhone โ but as of last week Orion is crashing multiple times a day (after months of use without issues).
Firefox
Vivaldi. I use Firefox too, but I love the mouse gestures and other features.
Floorp. It's a Firefox fork with good privacy and security, but not as intrusive as Librewolf and doesn't break websites by default
Brave, thinking about using firefox, and degoogle more
Home pc: Vivaldi
Phone: Vivaldi
Work pc: Vivaldi + Firefox
Edit: i really liked the old Opera browser (12.16 and prior or whatever), and Vivaldi is the closest to that
Recently switched from brave to Firefox+ublock mobile and PC.
Any list of suggested extensions?
Libredirect if you are interested in private frontends to youtube, twitter and such
Violentmonkey if you want to automate websites
Singlefile
Firefox multi-account containers (yes this is an addon), and temporary containers
firefox
on mobile am preparing to move to iceraven
Keep going back to Chrome, but back on Firefox. The problem is all the webpages Firefox tends to break unfortunately :(
