Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Orion (when it works 99% of the time) on my Mac. It’s pretty much all the benefits of Safari plus the ability to run some Firefox/Chrome extensions. I know it’s not FOSS yet, but they at least claim to be working on it. Firefox for the other websites that don’t work on Orion (very rare), and Chrome for the others that don’t work well at all on Orion/Firefox (almost never). I’m planning on deleting Chrome overall soon.

Safari for daily driver. Firefox for backup. Mullvad for the old site.

I’m on MacOS, and I tend to mostly use 3 for different reasons.

Safari has been my goto for battery, but Firefox has caught up. I may hop over in MacOS 14. My big sticking point has been integration with Apple’s keychain software, and that should change during the next major OS update.

Chrome for stupid g suite products that disable features for other browsers (aka, Google’s video chat)

Edge for free access to GPT 4.

Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.

Firefox and Vivaldi.

Edge. I hardly use my PC for any actual browsing other than torrent sites.

I usually stick to the browser that comes bundled with the OS. On my computer, I use Microsoft Edge, and on my phone I use Chrome. I'm just very lazy to download a different browser, I'm not biased at all. If I start using Linux, I'll be using Firefox (idk if different Linux distros bundle different browsers). If I ever switch to iOS or macOS, I'd use Safari.

I think I'm automatically being hated now for using a browser made by a company that sells my data to advertisers.

Edge and Chrome

Chrome for development (because our customers use that) and Safari for iOS/Firefox for personal usage

Keep going back to Chrome, but back on Firefox. The problem is all the webpages Firefox tends to break unfortunately :(

Not in the habit of providing you data, thanks. Our browser choice is none of your business.
