@dnsprincess I use multiple browsers. Right now it's mostly edge for the Microsoft rewards points so I can get discount game pass ultimate, chrome for a certain set of tabs or when I want to watch YouTube while gaming. And Firefox on my steam os machine. I'm not particular about it.

Adam Wright

@dnsprincess wow Firefox!? This is how you know this is mostly tech / eng community still

Shiola Odan ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

@dnsprincess

These days I use DuckDuckGo, except for wordle and a few logins that I've saved in Chrome.

Julian Knight

@dnsprincess Argh! Can't change a mistaken vote! Should have clicked on Edge.

Avi Bar-Zeev

@dnsprincess

dumb question: how did you add more than 4 options to a poll?

Mastodon seems to limit to 4. Do other front ends do better?

autumn ๐Ÿ‘ป spooky szn

@dnsprincess i canโ€™t choose more than one. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

safari as my main, chrome for work stuff.

Spamou ๐Ÿฆ 

@dnsprincess too bad i cannot select multiples : Firefox on desktop, Vivaldi on smartphone.

Michael

@dnsprincess Vivaldi, which is sorta Chrome, I guess

Chris

@dnsprincess I'm caught between firefox and brave. firefox seems to run really badly these days, brave doesn't, but there are things I miss like the way FF handles downloaded files, and I can just drag a tab to my bookmarks. Maybe bloat is good after all.

@dnsprincess Vivaldi! Built by ex-opera folks I believe. Lots of privacy, customization, and convenience features built in.

Jim Ross ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ ๐ŸŽž

@dnsprincess I work from home and use Chrome for work (company uses all Google apps) and Firefox and Vivaldi for personal stuff.

Paul Taylor

@dnsprincess Depends on what Iโ€™m doing but generally go between Chrome and Firefox using Finicky to manage them on site basis.

@dnsprincess
Firefox with ublock origin on medium mode.

NatureBuisson

@dnsprincess I checked "Other" for LibreWolf but it's actually a fork of Firefox.

Steve White

@dnsprincess

Yes. The only one on that list I don't use is Brave. And not very often Opera, but Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are almost always running on my desktop.

Alex Taylor

@dnsprincess - what happens if we use several. I use four browsers for different work/homecare roles. Eek!!

WalkingBlackBear

@dnsprincess I use a mix, but primarily Edge, since it switched to Chromium. I still use Chrome a bit, still keep Firefox installed, but mainly Edge. I do actually like and use Collections.

snort.force

@dnsprincess Epiphany/Gnome Web. Currently the most fully-functional browser on Haiku-OS. Would like to use Firefox but the porting and maintenance would be insane.

Bricin

@dnsprincess all of the above with Finicky and Browseraurus controlling the mayhem.

RocksToReplicators

@dnsprincess A little off-topic, but how do you make a poll with so many choices?

Falcon

@dnsprincess Chrome. Every time o try to migrate to Firefox, I get annoyed with to many things that I abandon it again

DELETED

@dnsprincess I voted Chrome. But I use the Chromium version.

james

@dnsprincess Just switched back to chrome as my new job is all about that g-suite

Julia Clement :verified:

@dnsprincess

A mixture, Chrome, Chrome (Beta), Chromium & Firefox.

Depends on where I am & what I'm doing.

Erik Ellestad

@dnsprincess it's complicated: DuckDuckGo on Android phone, Firefox on home Mac, Edge on enterprise policy bound work Windows PC, Firefox in Linux.

Pope Bob

@dnsprincess I loved #Firefox + #Vimperator / #Pentadactyl, back in the day, when they had better extension support.

I recently found #luakit and qutebrowser which scratch the itch of highly customizable hotkeys.

I've noticed #qutebrowser on Ubuntu 22.04 is much worse than 20.04 for battery life, I think due to the enhanced Qt5 features newer libraries allow by default.

I plan to explore luakit to see how it compares, but only recently learned of it.

Leisureguy

@dnsprincess I've used Chrome, Firefox, and Opera of the ones you list, but a few months ago, I switched to Vivaldi, which is by far the best browser I've found.

Like Opera and Chrome, Vivaldi runs on the Chromium engine, so for extensions you just go to the Chrome Web Store.

vivaldi.com

Distante

@dnsprincess I used Firefox for several years. But now Russia has openly attacked the country I live in and I need absolutely all sites to work perfectly so I switched to Chrome

Bas โค๏ธ Will ๐Ÿš

@dnsprincess Not much Brave users. Am I that Brave? Probably ๐Ÿ˜‚

Efri Nattel-Shay

@dnsprincess why not both? (or more) :)

(sorry, I had to.., and I found it by accident, by clicking frantically on my screen after I selected the choices option)

Em :official_verified:

@dnsprincess Just wanted to add the DuckDuckGo iOS browser is truly excellent! :duckduckgo:โ€‹ โœจ

mkb

@dnsprincess For me it depends on purpose and platform. Most of my devices have multiple browsers.

Opera and Edge aren't in the mix, the others are. I still really miss OmniWeb for Mac. It had some great features I haven't seen elsewhere.

Adrian Cochrane

@dnsprincess A mix of my own (which I'm trying to move away from, but never get around to organizing tabs), Firefox, & GNOME Web. Both GNOME Web & my custom use WebKit like Safari.

Since though I'll have another of my own to switch to, with a custom browser engine!

Dismal Manor Gang

@dnsprincess Alternate between Safari and Firefox. JavaScript implementation bugs. Some sites work in only one of the two.

caden

@dnsprincess arc! Absolutely loving it, and wonโ€™t be going back to any other browser in the foreseeable future. ๐Ÿ˜„

typeos

@dnsprincess mostly Waterfox atm, not sure if it falls into "Firefox" option here, voted "other"

catte_salad clone (da_667)

@dnsprincess funny how many of us use Firefox.

Meanwhile: Babe, is 4pm. Time for another Chromium-based browser
Me:Nah man, I'm good.

Winston R. Milling

@da_667 @dnsprincess I used Firefox for so long, but its performance on lower end devices just seemed to lag behind for me (Thinking Pinebook Pro / Raspberry Pi). I am trying out Brave now that they have a arm64 build and it is performing a lot better, but honestly have not done a ton of research into all the options yet. Just want one browser I can use across all my devices.

Abigail

@dnsprincess i voted for Brave, but I use that on android and my steam deck, while i use firefox on my laptop

sparrow [is made of goo]

@dnsprincess lot of firefox users in this poll, myself included, surprising no one. chrome users I hope you get well soon

Alvan Rahimli

@dnsprincess You can tell we are all nerds came together, by looking at firefox percentage, lol

Tal Vayas

@dnsprincess
I switch around a lot. Using Vivaldi right now. Brave and Firefox otherwise.

Graham Carruthers

@dnsprincess been very happy with Brave over the past few years.

Stone Bear :genderqueer_flag:

@dnsprincess Chrome for work, Vivaldi (Chromium-based) for vendors, Firefox for general use, and a second Firefox-based one for snoopy social media sites. STRONG believer in separation of browsers.

testing

@dnsprincess@infosec.exchange firefox, otter, chromium, foss browser, privacy browser

๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐ŸŒŽโ˜„๏ธ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ฏ

@dnsprincess

Linux; Palemoon, wget, curl, Lynx...and if I have to; Librewolf or, deadass last resort; Chromium.

Android; Privacy Browser, or Mull.

imlordoftherings

@dnsprincess I use different browsers for different purposes. I use edge, brave, firefox, and chrome!

BLUR

@dnsprincess I alternate between Chrome and Firefox

ITX Mike

@dnsprincess Use mainly Chrome (we're a Google Workspace shop) but starting to move towards FireFox more

Steve Scott

@dnsprincess Vivaldi. It feels like Opera used to feel like... Oh the days when you had to pay for it...
