Just put Pale Moon on one of my Linux cruncher's, RushCity1.

Since you're on Linux, give a look at IceCat. https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/

For me Chrome is the best one.
I had a very bad experience with Opera and FireFox.
All the time breaking sessions and many bugs.
Safari is good also, it has so friendly interface, everything is so simple.

I use Opera on my desktop, and Chrome on my Laptop.

Firefox on desktop, lappie and phones. used to hae Chrom too on some boxes but said goodbye to a lot of issues on some boxes when it was removed. Weird thing was... two identical boxes, one had issues, one didnt.

I still jump between Microsoft and Firefox. Same as.... forever? This goes back to the old days of IE vs Netscape.

I would have preferred MS just stuck with Win32/64, but since UWP is their go to API now, I don't try to fight it. In which case, Edge is nicely integrated.. as all of MS's default apps are. I think this adds value personally. When I used Macs, I also liked sticking to their suite of apps.

I use Chrome. Like the design, speed and mostly add-ons. Haven't looked back since like 7 years ago.

Opera on desktop and Firefox on laptop.

I always use two browsers in any device. Chrome for everything and Opera with built-in VPN for pron

I may give a little credit to Edge - it, and @TheMailMan78, opend my eyes for certain things that Edge actually is good at, for example opening other types of
documents, like PDF´s with weird letters etc...... it did solve my problem - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/eplan-font-needed.245457/#post-3861896

That's useful in general. Had no idea it had built in vpn.. Haven't used Opera in years. Will check it out.

Using Opera on windows probably for a decade now. Loved the Presto version, the browser was ahead of its time. Most current features on popular browsers, that no one even thinks about, started on Presto. Unfortunately the engine started showing its age so the speed and compatibility fell drastically in the last couple of years of development.
The chromium Opera is fine, gets the job done, has VPN and adblocker implemented by default. Sadly doesn't have nearly as many tweaking options like the old did. And bookmark managing is god awful. Everything was dumbed down, which I hate to this day, but I somehow got used to the majority of quirks.

As for android, currently running Opera, had Chrome, both are fine. Didn't really care that much, changed it just for the sake of it. Even the stock Xiaomi browser (probably Chrome based) worked fine.

Chrome because is its easy to sync between my devices and I can carry on browsing where I left of even when I'm not on the pc. I was a strong advocate of firefox/cyberfox back in the day. Cyberfox had too many memory leaks and Firefox started going mental with constant updates and it got a little bloated after that so switched to chrome

 

[theFOoL]

For now just using Chrome and Firefox. Used Opera for two years but now nope. Even though Opera is less on memory and cpu usage. I might use it on my laptop though

Used to stick with Firefox until I got Windows 7 x64. Chrome was a lot faster and the nightly builds were pretty awesome. Well then Chrome became bloated and started sucking RAM, for what seems to be no reason or telemetry, I don't really know, I didn't research the topic too much around the community.

I've been using Vivaldi for the past 3 years now, I don't remember if I posted on this thread about this, (too lazy to check right now). It's been very dependable, most chrome plugins that I need work fine. I like the customization options and I can also sync my accounts if I need to.

It's not that different from Chrome (it's based on their source-code after all), but it was a refreshing change from what was a browser that I used on a daily basis for 8+ years.

For an older computer I think I still defaulted to using Firefox, I don't know which one the current browsers is the most lightweight, I'm not really one to keep track right now.

Chrome is my main on all devices however I do keep different browsers installed for different things.

Firefox can be useful to me, Opera handles all my internal applications which I have to IP to such as FreeNAS plugins, routers and so on and Vivaldi I use quite a lot at work.

 

[zZombieBatman]

I've been loyal to Firefox for like 15 years but am now giving Chrome a shot because I live in Japan and chrome has native web page translation for when I need it. I've also always really wanted the Voice Search button on Google and that wasn't a thing on Firefox.

 

[Athlonite]

Opera for PC (x64) and Phone (mini)

 

[Crusti]

I like Tor for its privacy and security. It doesn't show me all these annoying ads and I feel really safe using it.

 

[erpguy53]

Opera x64, Palemoon x64 and unofficial K-meleon Goanna build

 

[Arrius]

I use Chrome for everything, I don't really care much about loading speeds but the convenience it provides for me is unmatched by other browsers.

It pretty much does everything for me and given the line of work I do (SEO), I don't have a lot of patience for faulty low-tech alternatives.
