@dnsprincess
Mozilla would not need to be worried if "The Web" would be the #Fediverse

#Chrome, #Edge and #Brave are one Monopoly Engine. Please don't explain me the differences in implementation of the Chromium engine, I know it. It though leads to "best viewed with" messages again like in the 2000, where all was "optimised for IE 1024*768"

@dnsprincess wow such beautiful sample bias 😢 everyone here rules.

@dnsprincess I personally use Firefox as it's pretty decent and the default on most Linux distros. Ideally, I would use something like Waterfox, but it's currently developed by one person and is a bit iffy on stability, but I'm keeping an eye on the project.

Jérôme Darmont

@dnsprincess Gee, Chrome is a data vacuum cleaner, only incidentally a browser!

RedSnt

@dnsprincess Vivaldi. They're also nice enough to run a Mastodon instance, so you know they're trying to be on the correct side of history.

andreajnz

@dnsprincess Firefox and Chrome and Opera and Edge. Use different browsers for different groups of websites. Firefox is the default on my laptop.

Myriam Tamagni

@dnsprincess
3, Chrome, Firefox et Safari! Malheureusement on ne peut cocher qu'une cas.

darkblade

@dnsprincess I hop browsers almost as much as I hop distros, but right now it is #Librewolf on Desktop and #Bromite on Android.

MarkN

@dnsprincess its not just one,
Chrome on my windows machines at home
Firefox on my work windows machine
Safari on my phone

Brendan Jones

@dnsprincess the fact Firefox is winning shows what kind of crowd is here. Population wide FF usage is less than a tenth of that.

Brendan Jones

@dnsprincess this makes me happy. Using Firefox shows upstanding personality ;)

Chris (Master of Potate) 🥔

@dnsprincess Firefox and Safari are the onle two browsers that are not WebKit. That is my main reason for using Firefox. And because it is a very good browser. Everyone should give it another chance.

Gijs van Soest 🧢

@dnsprincess Brave on mobile, Edge on PC (for work compatibility 🙄)

Ado ✅

@dnsprincess should have made it possible to choose two answers. I use Chrome and Brave almost equally.

waka_waka

@dnsprincess I actually use both chrome and safari.

Lanausse

@dnsprincess I currently use chrome, but I’ve been trying to switch over to Firefox

Tealk

@dnsprincess Firefox is the only browser that you can use from a privacy point of view and for the preservation of the free Internet.

Google, with Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers, has too much power to decide how websites should be built.

Ryan Speck

@dnsprincess Vivaldi most of the time. Sometimes I'll use Opera or Edge, depending on the computer. Then Firefox for the times I need to see if something is a Chromium problem or an everything problem.

Jay

@dnsprincess I tend to use Duck Duck Go, or Firefox with the Duck Duck Go extension

Synth :verified:

@dnsprincess Firefox for important stuff, ungoogled chromium for most other things (even if it is a disgraceful memory hog). Opera yeeears ago.

Hidéo Snes

@dnsprincess DuckDuckGo & Brave & Thor, depends on what I want/need to do.

Joakim Rosendahl

@dnsprincess Use both Firefox and Edge =D. Firefox doesn't have any good support for installing PWAs on desktop.

rakoo
@dnsprincess trying to scale back with netsurf, it's hard to live on the current web that has JavaScript everywhere and weird CSS stuff but it's harder to realize my 13-yr old computer is perfectly fine for reading text but struggles to browse text on the web
Felicia

@dnsprincess I voted on Firefox as that’s what I yse most of the time and what I deploy at work, but I also ise Safari on monile devices and Macs

Sol Kawage

@dnsprincess I use Bumpr so I can choose each time. Chrome for work, safari for some things personal, Firefox for others.

Steve Hill 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺

@dnsprincess I think this must be hugely biassed by being on Mastodon. Firefox is (currently) way ahead, whereas in the real world, most everyone seems to use Chrome these days.

PTEC3D

@dnsprincess I use chrome, brave, firefox, and Opera. Multiple across several machines.

Flipp3rrr

@dnsprincess currently Vivaldi, but I might switch back to Firefox

LegoElvis

@dnsprincess I recently started using Sigma OS, it's still very much a work in progress but so far I'm enjoying it.

MarieLouiseSRas

@dnsprincess Ecosia and Safari. Sometimes Firefox. Depends, really, on what I need to do - sometimes pages doesn’t work properly in Ecosia/Safari, so will need to use Firefox. Also depends on search engine.

Jelle De Loecker

@dnsprincess Mastodon doesn't like the insane amount of responses you got I think, everything's at 0% :ablobgrimace:

But I use #firefox

alissa

@skerit that's so weird. Firefox is at 37% of the total vote! Wow

David Green

@dnsprincess I'm surprised to see Firefox ranking so high, although technically Chrome is in the lead as Brave, Opera, & Edge are rebadged Chrome anyway…

… I wonder how many on MacOS/iOS put something else other than Safari? On that OS, everything is Safari, except the skin.😀

Dawid Rejowski

@dnsprincess

Firefox (LibreWolf to be precise - it's the same browser but with more private default config), most of the time on mobile and desktop.

And QuteBrowser sometimes when I want to feel fast.

mogery

@dnsprincess Arc, which is a new chrome-based cool thing for macOS

Krzysiek

@dnsprincess I'm using Vivaldi (made by folks once responsible for Opera). which is highly customizable, and the company behind it runs their own mastodon instance (vivaldi.social).

Julian Ruston

@dnsprincess On PC I use Edge the most. I use Firefox too, have been a big supporter of Mozilla having used Netscape Navigator I was keen to support Phoenix and Firebird before it became Firefox. These days I find Firefox too unreliable to use as my main browser, too many minor glitches.
I use Safari and DuckDuckGo on my apple products. DDG is an interesting idea and use it out of curiosity.

Volpit :ac_thought:

@dnsprincess Mastodon should really develop multi choice polls, is there any chance @Mastodon ?

ram

@dnsprincess Getting rid of manifest v2's where chrome/chromium lost me

Peter Krefting

@dnsprincess #Vivaldi (but I do have Firefox and Chrome as backups with different log-ins)

🅰️ttila 💬

@dnsprincess on PC mostly Firefox (for the last 20 years or so) but on mobile it is Kiwi and/or Vivaldi

A. Erkan :vfmt: :_earth:

@dnsprincess

Firefox and Chrome for work
Firefox and Vivaldi for perso

bereizsolt

@dnsprincess
I use Vivaldi to my own things , Chrome and Edge for work.

brunorro

@dnsprincess I'm gonna say firefox because on linux (x86_64 glibc) is the easiest one to get Widevine running. But if I don't have to watch Netflix/Prime/etc. on it, every single simple webkit/gecko browser is good enough for me... I'm using suckless surf on a 15 yo laptop (x86_64 musl libc) and it works quite flawlessly 😅

Pihg

@dnsprincess Boy, sticking safari way down there almost as an afterthought. I feel attacked!

alissa

@pihg I totally didn't think of it at all until the last moment lolol
I'm learning I should have put @Vivaldi on the list

Pihg

@dnsprincess points for the eyeball emoji with chrome though 🤣

Kaleidoscope Dad
@dnsprincess i use Vivaldi on my personnal computer and my phone but i use Arc on my work machine
Bennytek

@dnsprincess It probably sounds strange, but I use a combination 😅

On my phone I exclusively use Vivaldi, but on my desktop I use a mix of both Edge and Firefox

(macroexpand '(remy))

@dnsprincess vivaldi @Vivaldi which i believe was started by the same people who made Opera originally

Wolf (Octoverified) 🐙

@dnsprincess Firefox as first choice always (since the Phoenix days). Edge on my Windows machines (I quite like it). Brave for my personal browsing on my work machine. Chrome as second browser for work things (when I need to login to something with a different set of credentials or whatever) but never as my preference. Bloody can't stand Chrome and never could. Chromium can get in the bin too.
