    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

    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.

    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.

      😂 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.

    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.

    Firefox.

    I’ve been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I’m back with Firefox.

    librewolf on the desktop. works for me. Came from vivaldi, which is too big for my old laptop setup (takes ages to load). Using fennec on android. But, recently i needed a browser for android which allows a bookmark.html file to be imported (camera froze with sync) and couldn’t find one. everything today MUST go over the sync (cloud).

      Same for me, but I’ve started using fulguris on android. I think it just uses the android webrenderer unfortunately, but it is open source.

    I’m 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 isn’t 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 don’t 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 don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.

    I recently switched from Firefox to Arc, which is in closed beta right now. It has a great Tab management. If anyone is interested I can send you an invite :)
