@dnsprincess I am an "other" in the poll: I use Chrome and Edge about 50/50, depending on device and task.

Oclasos

@dnsprincess Oh i use that one Minecraft mod to browse the internet

@dnsprincess I'm very surprised Chrome isn't pulling a higher percentage. Although perhaps that lines up with my understanding of where Mastodon's users are -- which is that Mastodon is bigger in Europe and Chrome is not hot in Europe...

ddc0660

@dnsprincess Nope. Bad assumption on my part. Chrome is very dominant in Europe (and pretty much anywhere else...)

Chart of browser market share of Europe in Oct 2022. Relevant point: Chrome floats around 60% of the market share for the month.

@dnsprincess On windows, Waterfox for most things, Chrome for surveillance sites (FB, Google, etc.), Chromium for stuff not compatible with Waterfox. On Android, DuckDuckGo, sometimes Firefox.

lina :bisexual_flag:

@dnsprincess ungoogled-chromium + librewolf + qutebrowser

Greg Barbosa 📠

@dnsprincess Chrome for web dev, Safari/Arc for personal. Slowly switching web dev to Firefox as extensions become available.

I've only been here a week, I think it's called Mastodon.

Wiredfire :BA:

@dnsprincess Chromium - so basically Chrome, but without the Googly bits. I use the woolyss build, updated via Chocolatey.

Vegann

@dnsprincess on OSX I’m using ARC browser, on Windows and Linux I’m using Firefox

Woodchaz

@dnsprincess I use Vivaldi. From the guy who founded Opera.

Bär :verified_agender:

@dnsprincess I use librewolf, but if something doesn't work on that, then I use firefox

Franklin Delano Stallone

@dnsprincess Safari. It's not perfect but the adblocking is leagues above anything else which is the top priority these days.

Jennifer Morency :verified:

@dnsprincess #Firefox (since 1.0!) for most sites, #Chromium for a few sites that don't work with FF (mainly the bird site).

BreakRepairRepeat

@dnsprincess I actually used - *gasp* - MS Edge for several months, but have moved back to Firefox. I've used pretty much any/all of them at some point.

jaymerryfield :mstdnca:

@dnsprincess Kind of depends whaat device I'm using. Chrome + Edge at work, Safari at home + mobile.

Leo 🦄🤓

@dnsprincess voted firefox but I also use Arc. 50/50 on maining each of them

Chiew

@dnsprincess Well, I use Brave as the main one with 100+ tabs (lost count) categorised into groups. But I also use Chrome and Pirate (which is based on Firefox). #tech #browsers

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚

@marco_m_aus_f @dnsprincess Great browser if you want all the advantages of Chrome with none of the advertising spyware. I used it on Windows until I switched to MacOS.

archangelic :anti_verified:

@dnsprincess it’s funny how many of these are all running chrome/chromium’s rendering engine…

GaH Learner

@dnsprincess @jacmoe All of them except for Brave. For different tasks on different computers.

βɛth :verified:

@dnsprincess I use Microsoft Edge, though I love both Firefox and Opera. I used Safari when I had a Mac, and it was alright.

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚

@dnsprincess On Windows, I highly recommend Vivaldi. All of the advantages of Chrome, with none of the targeted advertising spyware.

On MacOS, I recommend Safari. There’s no need for anything else.

Akela :mastodon:

@dnsprincess on Android I use Edge because I think it has the best design I can't just get over it 😅 on the PC I use Chrome 😅😁

RenJB

@dnsprincess I use Vivaldi (and love it!) :da_grin:

Jaye

@dnsprincess wow so many firefox that out of expectations

LeonVQZ

@dnsprincess Brave has been the best browser I've used after turning off all the crypto stuff

Caprimoon

@dnsprincess
iPhone: mostly safari, sometimes ddg, Firefox or chrome when necessary

windows: Firefox mostly, chrome when needed, edge by accident

Nika Shilobod

@dnsprincess

I'd be interested to see what people's search engines are.

I like Brave for the ad blocks, but I've been thinking about switching.

Cammie

@dnsprincess LibreWolf and Qutebrowser for daily drivers, but I also use Lynx quite a bit

E1GEN

@dnsprincess
PC -> Firefox, Smartphone -> Fennec (Firefox Fork)

André Mellentin

@dnsprincess mainly Chrome, but also Firefox and Safari, sometimes Edge for work purposes.

Jamie Howarth

@dnsprincess Vivaldi.

I used to use Brave, cause it was nice to get paid even a tiny amount of crypto to see general ads, then I found out Brendan Eich is an alt-right fanboy, and switched to Vivaldi.

Opera ex-employees, still built on Chromium, still got an adblocker, works great for me.

DELETED

@dnsprincess Have you heard of Arc? A MacOS browser that it’s just beautiful 😔🤌

GayCookie.dev 🏳️‍🌈 :misskey:

@dnsprincess@infosec.exchange Waterfox what is a fork of Firefox.. so I dont know if I vote Firefox or Other now haha!

STCWhite

@dnsprincess
I use different browsers for different tasks and platforms. Firefox on all; vivaldi on some; brave on others; occasionally chrome or chromium.

tjborg 🪱

@dnsprincess at this point it would take a long time to replicate all this lol

David Yang

@dnsprincess chrome is definitely the worse in my opinion. But companies love to use Gmail and Meet, and Google purposely creates a poor user experience on any other browser than Chrome so it ends up on most computers…

GlowStoneUnknown

@dnsprincess I've been using Librewolf for a good month or so, and been loving it

acid

@dnsprincess I somehow ended up With Vivaldi as it comes with tab search build in 😄

Extreme Electronics

@dnsprincess Edge Chrome and Firefox (in reverse order of preference)

Roc :gamedev:

@dnsprincess Vivaldi, although FF on android to get that nice dark reader extension

Marcin Petruszka

@dnsprincess Vivaldi. They're even here. More than that, they set up their own instance!

Justin Ferrell

@dnsprincess Safari at home or when debugging Google-specific stuff like analytics, Chrome at work.

@dnsprincess

Duck Duck Go on Android phone.
Love watching the symbols as it blocks trackers, and more trackers!

Alexander Hansen Færøy

@dnsprincess Firefox and Tor Browser mostly, but also Chromium for some occasional testing.

Toby

@dnsprincess I voted chrome but i mainly use Brave. I just didn't notice it in the list before I voted

Shehasmoxy

@dnsprincess

I’ve been using Firefox since college (early 2000s) but I use chrome as well, which I use for work and email.

econobox

@jackyan @dnsprincess

Also with you in using obscure Chromium browsers... Naver Whale on the PC, Bromite on mobile.

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)

@econobox Yep, Bromite as well for me on the phone. Havenʼt tried Naver Whale but will look it up. I also used Opera GX a lot. @dnsprincess

econobox

@jackyan @dnsprincess

Naver Whale became my preference partly due to it having more privacy-respecting translation built in (which can be accessed via papago.naver.com/, too) for translating websites.

Also seems to run a little more lean than most browsers (even some other Chromium-based ones)... also seems to be the 2nd best for battery since I switched to Mac.

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)

@econobox Really good to know. I think Vivaldi has translation, too, but Iʼve yet to look into that. Iʼll take a look later tonight. 🙂
