@dnsprincess These poll results are the most culturally-Mastodon thing I’ve ever seen πŸ˜†

JDN5IX

@dnsprincess @0ray

Other: a combination of most of these depending on what it is I’m doing

Peter Fisher

@dnsprincess Firefox on Windows, brave & DuckDuckGo on android

surfimp

@dnsprincess wow this is the most fellow #Firefox users I’ve seen in one place for a very long time. My people! πŸ˜‚

Rijk van Geijtenbeek

@dnsprincess Firefox on the phone, Vivaldi on my own laptop, Firefox on the work machine

BeardyJim

@dnsprincess I'm a devout @Vivaldi user, as it's probably the most customisable browser I've ever used.

Plus, on Android it has the option for the address bar at the bottom of the screen. πŸ‘πŸ»

Brian Hough

@dnsprincess Safari here! (Also Firefox when being forced to use anything other than a Mac. )

Flash Mob Of One

@dnsprincess I just recently switched to Brave. I know its anti-tracking tools are working because the ads I see make no sense anymore.

mattig89ch

@dnsprincess I was using firefox for the longest time, but I switched to brave. So far so good. Waterfox is pretty good too, but too early days for my comfort.

SPF100

@dnsprincess I use firefox for personal & Chrome/Edge for work.

ANN07064061

@dnsprincess I use BOTH chrome and firefox. Chrome is good for casual browsing, and firefox for extracting links for saving to the wayback machine.

Beardo The Bearded Odalisque

@dnsprincess I use Samsung's browser for my phone and tablet. I'm not sure if that's actually just chrome or not...

Artsy

@dnsprincess I use Google, Brave, and Duck Duck Go.

Yet I somehow managed to accidentally hit Firefox on your poll. Oops!

Frogie (figuring this out)

@dnsprincess i split between chrome and firefox for home and firefox and edge at work (used to also have chrome at work, but WFH is a blessing in many ways)

E.W. Doc Parris

@dnsprincess
At home: Safari
At work: Chrome.

Chrome has better developer tools.

Damo

@dnsprincess Chrome & Firefox - Although company policy is trying to edge Edge into the picture.

ella

@dnsprincess please, where is the #edge love? 😭

Tyler Sticka

@dnsprincess Arc Browser (as of last week, until then it was Firefox for several years)

David

@dnsprincess I'm glad to see Firefox represented so strongly here, but I suspect there may be some selection bias at play πŸ˜‚

lora

@dnsprincess duck duck go , chrome a little. I do like Firefox too... I haven't heard of most of these browsers.

Christy

@dnsprincess chrome when it behaves, firefox when it doesn't.

Caleb

@dnsprincess used to use Firefox but recently moved to Arc (chromium based) and really enjoyed it.

@dnsprincess I use multiple. For privacy reasons, I will never use an Android/Google phone, so my single -- reasonable - option is Safari.

I absolutely refuse to use Opera. That they're integrating TikTok should be a red flag to anyone.

Brave? Hell, no. Cryptopeddlers can burn.

Firefox? Sometimes, and for specific purposes, but I can't give a rational explanation of why I don't much like it.

--> Part 2 coming

Arve

@dnsprincess

Safari - I enjoy the UI, and the integration with iOS. I don't enjoy that Webkit is lagging in features and compatibility, nor do I enjoy the limited extensions.

Edge? I don't have any computers capable of running Windows, and I don't see why I should even evaluate it on MacOS.

Chrome? Well. After Opera went to hell and Blink, I've felt forced to use it. I hate myself for doing so, and I'm transitioning away.

@dnsprincess

Where does that leave me? My old boss, and many of my former coworkers:

Vivaldi

I think @jon and the Vivaldi team has the correct idea about what the internet should have been, and what it should be.

If I have one reluctance against Vivaldi, it's being only half open source.

I can understand the model,. since Jon needs to feed employees, without being stoln by some random on GH.

In my ideal world, Vivaldi's vision would be a nonprofit with sustainable donation funding.

Ryan Smith

@dnsprincess I started using Edge a few months ago and I like it alot. Lower memory utilization than Chrome, easy to set up work and personal profiles, and can turn any app into an app. My only complaint is having to debingify it.

Safari on iOS for the same reasons.

Roaming H

@dnsprincess Switched to @Vivaldi just because they opened a mastodon instance

:awesome: Leo :mastodon:πŸ‡²πŸ‡½

@dnsprincess πŸ˜‚ Safari under "Other" and "See results only".

By the way, I voted Firefox :firefox: πŸ™Œ

K

@dnsprincess TBH I realize I should have selected β€œother” because while Firefox is my preferred browser on a computer, I can’t use it full time on my phone because of issues with text size accessibility. Which means Safari for most things on mobile, with Firefox, chrome, and Firefox focus thrown in As Needed.

(Before anyone @ s me on that, I KNOW android Firefox lets you change font size. That doesn’t solve iOS Firefox’s issues)

Sarah Doomsayer

@dnsprincess I answered Brave because I use it on my phone. But I use many: Brave on my phone, FF mostly on my PC, Chrome for schoolwork (shoutout to Canvas app!) on PC and laptop, and Edge for work because of app dependencies there.

Akira_NSFW

@dnsprincess Opera GX

It's such an amazing browser!
It has so many features like background music and keypress sounds!
And it's super customizable! ^^

Necco

@dnsprincess switched to Vivaldi, never looked back

Cray On πŸ–οΈ

@dnsprincess I use Pale Moon πŸŒ‘ on desktop and DuckDuckGo πŸ¦† Browser on Android

Sabrina Web :privacypride:

@dnsprincess pc or mobile? I voted for my pc browser (firefox, or sometimes librewolf) because none of the browsers I use on my tablet is listed here

Mr Omneo :verified:

@dnsprincess I generally use Firefox but fallback to Brave on work device

emily (cringe)

@dnsprincess safari when I can (iOS/iPadOS/macOS) and chrome when I can’t (windows/linux)

Alany :verified:

@dnsprincess
I currently use LibreWolf on my Laptop and Edge on my phone

lakelady

@dnsprincess multiple browsers depending on what I'm doing and what my needs are at the moment

Wait,SayThatAgain

@dnsprincess
I use different browsers for different things.
Privacy always fire or safari.
Don’t really careβ€”everything else
It is getting harder and harder to keep them separate. Not really liking across all stuff.

Sky UwU

@dnsprincess I believe you can set polls to be approval voting by the way! Not everyone will just be using one browser for one task!

John Scotus

@dnsprincess how did you figure out how to set up a poll like that?! Damn nice job

Tayo Ade

@dnsprincess I use chrome and brave browser, although on mobile I use Brave mostly

Joel P.

@dnsprincess I use more than one, and it's close as far as usage. So picked the one I use at work.

No Lynx? :)

Mark β˜•οΈ :verified:

@dnsprincess I picked Microsoft Edge because that’s my primary browser with my laptop, but I also use Safari and Google Chrome.

Safari when I’m on my phone, and Chrome when I’m on my desktop πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

mgrouchy

@dnsprincess arc is my daily now (but I guess that’s chrome)

@dnsprincess Firefox on PC, Safari on iPhone/iPad

Tho if Apple ever released Safari for Linux I’d probably go for it. Safari for Windows used to be awesome when it was a thing, it’s sad it was killed. It’s UI was so pretty too.
