It though leads to "best viewed with" messages again like in the 2000, where all was "optimised for IE 1024*768" @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. @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. @dnsprincess Firefox and Chrome and Opera and Edge. Use different browsers for different groups of websites. Firefox is the default on my laptop. @dnsprincess @dnsprincess I hop browsers almost as much as I hop distros, but right now it is #Librewolf on Desktop and #Bromite on Android. @dnsprincess its not just one, @dnsprincess the fact Firefox is winning shows what kind of crowd is here. Population wide FF usage is less than a tenth of that. @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. @dnsprincess should have made it possible to choose two answers. I use Chrome and Brave almost equally. @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. @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. @dnsprincess Firefox for important stuff, ungoogled chromium for most other things (even if it is a disgraceful memory hog). Opera yeeears ago. @dnsprincess Use both Firefox and Edge =D. Firefox doesn't have any good support for installing PWAs on desktop. @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
@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 @dnsprincess I use Bumpr so I can choose each time. Chrome for work, safari for some things personal, Firefox for others. @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. @dnsprincess I recently started using Sigma OS, it's still very much a work in progress but so far I'm enjoying it. @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. @dnsprincess Mastodon doesn't like the insane amount of responses you got I think, everything's at 0% :ablobgrimace: But I use #firefox @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.😀 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. @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). @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. @dnsprincess Mastodon should really develop multi choice polls, is there any chance @Mastodon ? @dnsprincess #Vivaldi (but I do have Firefox and Chrome as backups with different log-ins) @dnsprincess on PC mostly Firefox (for the last 20 years or so) but on mobile it is Kiwi and/or Vivaldi @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 😅 @dnsprincess i use Vivaldi on my personnal computer and my phone but i use Arc on my work machine
@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 @dnsprincess vivaldi @Vivaldi which i believe was started by the same people who made Opera originally @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. |
@dnsprincess I use @librewolf! They deserve more visibility
