I primarily use Edge, and I use Firefox as a secondary browser for troubleshooting rendering issues.

Chrome. It's basically managed to cover the field at this point so that it's hard to avoid using it. I do have firefox as well on basically everything as a secondary browser.

No more chrome based browsers for me, Adblock is essential. Firefox is the way to go!

It isn't dead (yet) on Edge. [shrug] I don't know what's going to happen and if the Edge team is going to find a way to keep plugins like that alive, but yeah, I will have to pivot to Firefox if there isn't a good way to keep it going. Although using DNS servers is a good first defense.

I looked at Brave and their website really sells it as the only one you want to use (they claim it checks off all their selling points compared to other browsers that don't come close).

In the end its another chrome based browser. I fully entrenched myself with Chrome a few years ago and have used that as my primary browser ever since. I was previously a Firefox only kind of user but the performance issues that it used to have made me switch to Chrome. There is no reason for me to not to switch back to Firefox other than habit.

At work I use Chrome for almost everything, except I use Firefox for a couple of sites that require me to use a 2nd login, like M365 where I administer it in Chrome but my own mailbox is used in Firefox.... and a couple other sites/services like that. I use Edge only to test something if someone is having an issue with a site in Chrome or Firefox.

My problem with Edge is that it is a Microsoft browser. Internet Explorer has permanently scarred me from using any Microsoft browser.

I'll check out Brave. I switched to Edge last year since it doesn't eat ram as bad as chrome does

I had compatibility issues with Brave so moved on to the next less ####ty Chrome variant, Edge. 100% compatibility and not quite just turfing your data out to the world willy-nilly.

Apparently for computers Firefox has made a resurgence lately?

Been using brave all day and really enjoy the desktop version, but for the mobile version so far my feelings are mixed. I'll give it a full week to really test it out and make sure it's not just me missing what I'm used too

All browsers on iOS are nothing but skins on webkit.

What moved me from Firefox to Edge originally was CP acting weird (Firefox kept adding extra spaces in posts) and not being able to watch Youtube videos in 60fps. Are those oddities fixed for you?

My preferred browser is Brave, followed by edge... but honestly I just end up using Chrome like a zombie

As someone who works from home mainly through Microsoft 365, I'm not sure I could switch away from Edge. It's all so quick and seamless

yeah seems fine.

I'm also switching back and forth right now between Edge and FF, not chrome

Chromes a bloated pig which is super sad considering its roots
