Do you play DaD? "Dungeons & Dragons" Ha yeah boring but considering us nerds some do so

I don't use it because it's microsoft and their custom code is closed to public inspection, can not be evaluated and therefore can not be trusted. But that's just my opinion.

 

[freeagent]

Apple knows me, Microsoft knows me, Google knows me.. how come I am not making money but everyone else is

Firefox Mobile on my phone because of extension support, namely uBlock Origin.

Edge since all browser are Chromium anyway. Might as well stick with the option that i don't need to download separately.

Opera. Opera was my primary for a few years. PC and phone because of their bookmark sync. But I've taken a conscious decision to move away from Chinese-owned shit. Not to mention their mobile browser started turning to shit. File sender on a browser? Wtf?! But imagine my surprise when I started using Opera as backup on my PC. Their built-in VPN is faster than most extension VPN on chromium store. And no way I wanna pay for a VPN just to see some tiddies.

except firefox and its versions

Firefox all around. I don't care for the chunky Proton design, which you can no longer revert since FF91. Still, the browser does what I need, syncs across all devices, and doesn't use services from Google, MS, or Apple. I occasionally used Edge on my work PC, and it is horribly slow for some reason--I mean even loading the bookmarks starts with a blank list for several seconds. I guess my IT department found a way to make it worse?

Like Opera but don't like it's now owned by china then Vivaldi is just like opera but without all the google and chinese spy shit that's included in almost every chrome clone browser

the browser does what I need, syncs across all devices

Vivaldi does this aswell I've got it setup the same on PC, Phone and Tablet

 

[Solid State Soul ( SSS )]

I use chrome, with Firefox as my backup browser for other needs, i find Firefox to be much smoother and overall nicer to use than chrome, i might switch someday.

Nice to see Firefox winning here. I've been using it for the last decade or so. I like Mozilla's privacy rights campaigning, too.

 

[Liquid Cool]

I voted for "Firefox Variant. I've been doing the same thing for years. Waterfox for browser and Thunderbird for e-mail. I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I stopped using Mozilla's Firefox in 2017 after they involved themselves with politics(and George Soros).

I'm the apolitical type and I prefer my browsers be the same.

Best,

Liquid Cool

Edge Chromium is good enough for me, with Firefox as the backup.
Brave should be the honorable Chromium-based browser that I can give a shoutout.

Brave is good. I use it on Android. For PC I prefer Iron as a Chromium fork.

SRWare Iron - The Browser of the Future

The best browser with fast site rendering, advanced privacy, a sleek design and innovative features

www.srware.net

It's very security and privacy focused and is still fully compatible with all of the extensions and plugins.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

I used Waterfox G3 for majority of browsing, there are a few, a very few sites that dont work with it, so I used Opera for those.

Waterfox has great security, it can use most Firefox addons. Anything you can do with FF64, you can do with WF. I was surprised mozilla brought back FF64 after spliting it off into WF. shit-happens.

I dont like Edge, cuz even when its closed its still open. I try to keep away from m$ products as much as possible and only use them IF I am forced to do so.

 

[windwhirl]

cuz even when its closed its still open.

On that, and for other people that may have the same situation, that may be because you have fast startup or background activity enabled.

Both can be disabled from Edge's settings, in the System section.

Boy I remember using Maxthon Classic Browser back in Xp and Vista

Maxthon was great, I used to make themes for it (and matching Winamp ones). I have been using Edge for about 6 months now after chrome just wasn't playing nice on mobile. I like using the same browser on PC and mobile for bookmarks and passwords and the like.

Oh shout out from the past I used it to

Oh shout out from the past I used it to

Why not still using it lol just curious... FF here though I used Opera before until FF added the pop out video feature

yeah it started getting glitchy so I went to Opera for a while then they sold out to china and I moved to Vivaldi been with it since then

 

[rtwjunkie]

I use firefox daily but the issues with it are starting to get annoying. Random things will fail like right now it is not redirecting properly. Shit breaks all the time with FF, smh. I keep chrome and edge around at the ready.

Interesting. I’ve yet to encounter this with FF.

Once again I am surprised by poll results. Then I have to remind myself it isn’t scientific and it is on an enthusiast site.

Cool! Thanks for the suggestion.

As am I! Expected far more Chrome votes and yet, of the people that have seen this thread and have voted, FireFox and it's variants seem to have a seriously lead at this time. The vote is not set to expire to it will be interesting to see how it develops as time goes on!

Then I have to remind myself it isn’t scientific and it is on an enthusiast site.

True! And that could be part of the impact. To me it is saying, so far, that enthusiasts and power-users prefer Firefox or some variant thereof.
