@isagalaev Chrome (non-Google flavor, currently Sidekick & Vivaldi) - but seriously considering switching to Firefox, which I left years ago because it was, at the time & on my system*, a colossal ressource hog, bogging me down to a crawl on a daily basis...

*I run ancient Macs; still currently on a 2012 Macbook Pro/Catalina

@isagalaev starting using AVG browser - Chrome based but more secure.

@isagalaev after using Arc for a quite big amount of time, I came back to Firefox because it just is a better experience. Didn’t go with Safari because of the AppStore centric way to get add ons.

On mobile it is and will be Safari

@isagalaev Firefox for laptops and desktops, for IOS it’s Safari.

@isagalaev I'm enjoying both Vivaldi and Firefox right now. I can't pick just one 😣

Firefox on Linux (and Chromium when necessary).

Fennec on LineageOS. (No choice on F-droid)

@isagalaev
Chromium for cross-browser testing, Librewolf normally.

@isagalaev Quite liked Edge until recently, and it's just got more unlikeable by the day. E.g. Collections were a useful feature, now it's just another dumping spot for Ads and useless jank from "Creators". Also syncing with Linux breaks too regularly. Happily back on FF now.

@isagalaev i use different ones on different platforms, and i don't really have only one answer.

@isagalaev @film_girl This poll is silly. Firefox has under 8% share worldwide but in your poll is most used? Something is clearly wrong πŸ™‚

On my phone I also sometimes use the the browser that Duckduckgo provides in their app.

@isagalaev firefox only for me, more or less, on both desktop and mobile. only ever really open other browsers very rarely and for the single purpose of testing my website in them, and they're not logged in to anything at all anyway.

DELETED

@isagalaev Firefox and Safari. I never ditched Firefox for Chrome back in the day. I never liked Chrome, and I found it concerning when every browser other than Firefox and Safari switched to Chromium.
