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

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
Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.
Firefox on desktop and mobile. Better privacy and more trustworthy than a browser tied to a billion dollar corp.
Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:
Firefox gang π I don't get the hate, the browser has great for decades
firefox.
nearly every other browser out there except Safari is just chromium with a coat of paint, and i am not a fan of monopolies.
Been using Firefox since it came out 18 years ago. Tried a few others for a bit, but always ended up back with the fox. Using it on all my computers and devices. Tried all kinds of plug-ins, currently using ublock, no-script, privacy badger, bloody vikings!, Bitwarden and.. I guess that's more or less it.
I do have to use Edge a bit for work, just because of some systems that doesn't really work on Firefox and I don't want to use Chrome.
On desktop: Firefox On Android: Firefox
The extension support is the killer feature, and the open source+supporting a diverse web ecosystem is a close second.
I'm Firefox on desktop and Android as well.
For me, I care about privacy and tracking. I use Unlock Origin, which imo is the best ad block and tracker system.
Mozilla is also non-profit FOSS, so I trust them far more than other browser makers.
PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^
I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.
Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now
Firefox for me.
I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.
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.
I know all you nerds use firefox, but i'm still on the plebian chrome
Firefox, I hate chrome lol
Firefox still has some integrity unlike chrome and its clones.
Firefox Gang, checking in.
Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.
Firefox mostly. I want multiple rendering engines to be viable. Plus it has the plug ins I want on Android and still syncs to desktop. The one problem is chromecasting to the tv from windows. I wish there was a plug in that would let me do that.
This is basically my reasons exactly. I use edge as a backup when a page doesn't work in Firefox, but use Firefox primarily because I don't want the web to be defined by blink's implementation. Plugins on Android, while limited, are unbeatable.
LibreWolf. It's Firefox without the adware and sponsored bullshit. I can only take so many "Sponsored Link", "Recommended by Pocket", and MOZILLA VPN OMG!1!1! random popups before I declare a piece of software adware, and Mozilla has crossed that line. LibreWolf also has a bunch of privacy stuff, some of which I turn off because I think it goes a bit too far and breaks some websites.

Firefox, I mean, its pretty much the default considering where we are
I use the regular Firefox with some addons. I've tried various browsers in the past and used them as my default browser for a while, but I always ended up going back to Firefox. Now I'm sticking with it.
Vanilla Firefox here as well.
Tor Browser, because my threat model is passive surveillance capitalism so anti-tracking is important.
Else, Firefox (vanilla).
Firefox cuz it uses like no ram and it's completely open source while being detached from the chromium ecosystem
I use Firefox (and I've used it since it was called phoenix, and I've used the free software mozilla suit before that).
BUT I've been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don't trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.
Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.
I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.
Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.
Personal use: LibreWolf (Firefox fork) for desktop and Fennec for mobile.
Work PC: Edge (No options here)
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.
I have to say it's amazing that everyone is actually staying on topic mentioning their favorite browsers and why without resorting to calling each other idiots for using some browsers and not others.
What's your browser, idiot?
<3.
Firefox.
I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didnΒ΄t, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.
Firefox. It's faster and more lightweight than chrome and has bigger fonts. I find chrome's label's eye-straining. Also it's not owned by Google or Microsoft. DuckDuckGo on mobile because I don't like the mobile version of Firefox, and I can delete all cookies using the fire button (On my laptop Cookie AutoDelete does that for me.)
Librewolf and ungoogle chromium for the occasional websites that only works well with chrome.
Firefox user here, switched from Chrome around 3-4 years ago after getting fed up with chrome (don't remember why exactly).
Been pretty happy with FF since then
Lmao I guess Iβll be the only person to say Safari. Itβs fast, privacy focused, and secure. I donβt care about extensions and I like the UI.
LibreWolf (and Ungoogled Chromium) on Linux, Vanadium (and Mull) on phone. Parenthetical ones are what I use when my main browsers refuse to load something.
