Ask Lemmy

Firefox. I'm not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I'm not switching to a Firefox fork unless there's actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.

Primary: Zen Browser.

Reserve: Edge

Zen was the beginning it was little odd but now I love it. Fast, feels great to use and no nonsense.

I can't use either Zen or Firefox at work so there I use Edge. Edge is also a nice browser, I really like the sidebar for mail and drop.

Main browser - Brave Secondary Browser - IronFox

Librewolf/iron fox(Firefox based),Steam (does that count??),Gnome Web (Basically Safari on Linux)

Firefox on Android and PC

Orion on iPad

i honestly tried cromite in the last week, but dark mod is buggy, ublock disables every second day, embedded videos dont show up sometimes, extensions are super slow, ui looks like ass. maybe the reader mode is better just a tad bit...but im back to ironfox.

librewolf on my personal machine and firefox on my work machine (I'm only allowed vanilla firefox or chrome on there)

It's pretty shocking that Firefox has so much use here! In a quick scan through the thread, I haven't seen ANY Chrome users! But it's supposed to be the clear winner of the browser wars, how come so many Lemmy users avoid it? I'm not complaining mind you, I use Firefox itself, but the cultural difference is striking.

I've been thinking a bit at how users self-select in different communities. I often make the same comment on Mastodon and Bluesky, and tech topics do MUCH better on Mastodon, despite the considerably smaller userbase, while general social media stuff does a little better on Bluesky. It's so interesting!

I use Waterfox on my laptop/desktop and Ironfox on my phone (with Chromium as a desktop backup, and Vanadium as a mobile back up)

I use Librewolf almost always I try others just for comparison an fun, here are they:

• Librewolf: I use it for its privacy defaults and because it comes with no bloat and no nonsense.

• Konform Browser: A fork of Librewolf but based on Firefox ESR rather than the regular release and focusing in smaller settings improvements. I've talked to the developer and they are very nice and seem to fix issues rather quickly. By the looks of it I will be moving to this browser permantly.

• Ungoogled Chromium: For testing webpages, like styles and stuff for my blog.

• Glide Browser: Its basically the Vimium extension + BetterFox. It's stil in early developement and it looks promising. I prefer Librewolf settings better than Betterfox so this keeps me from using this one.

Firefox almost exclusively with the requisite plugins. Only using other browsers when a site requires it, like Safari on iOS, but that happens maybe 1-2 times a year. I don’t even have Chrome installed anymore.

Firefox. Vivaldi. Firefox for anything important.

Brave, Firefox focus, opera, and chrome(with js, cookies, and preloading turned off)

I use many, usually Firefox.

I use Firefox on all platforms.

Librewolf

Firefox, librewolf and thorium if I absolutely must touch filthy chromium.

Librewolf, Fennec

Netscape navigator.

Firefox and emacs-w3m. I keep trying Nyxt but it hasn’t stuck yet.

Vivaldi.

Ironfox on smartphone, Librewolf on desktop

Waterfox and Zen. I switched to Waterfox a while ago and have had no problems with it. It's basically "Firefox minus AI," which is what I wanted it to be.

I started trying out Zen Browser a few days ago, too. It's another Firefox fork, but Zen is more willing to try new things with the UI. So far I like it.

So it's been Waterfox on Android and Zen on desktop lately. (Zen does not have an Android version.) They both support Firefox sync, and syncing works between the two of them. Pretty cool.

Firefox, begrudgingly.

It's the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it's still a bit of a resource hog. It's just that everything else is worse (slower, lacking essential features, or most often both).

I mainly use Firefox as it's the best non-chromium browser I'm aware of for both Linux and android. But I also have Vivaldi installed on Linux for the rare cases where something doesn't work in Firefox, Waterfox on some of my older android devices because Firefox no longer supports the versions of android they run, and I also have F-Droid's Fennec on one of my phones because it used to be my primary browser on android and I just never got around to switching to Firefox on that phone.

For anyone wondering why I stopped using F-Droid's Fennec, it's just because at some point (possibly a few years ago) they announced that their browser was outdated and missing several security features from Firefox. It's possible that the browser is fully updated now, as it does seem to be receiving updates regularly, but I currently have no reason to switch back to using it as my primary browser on android. Now, if they were to revert the UI back to previous one, I'd have a reason to use it again. I really don't care for the UI both Firefox and Fennec have currently on android.

Firefox, Firefox developer edition, Firefox focus, waterfox, Fennec, and Tor

Qutebrowser.

Zen is my default browser, is what I use on my Desktop and my Steam deck. I also use Firefox on mobile, cause there isnt a Zen mobile.

I use Safari on my iPad with uBlock Origin lite to watch youtube.

If I need to use a chromium browser, I currently have Helium installed, but I will probably grab Vivaldi as a backup browser.

I dont really have any plans to change away from Zen and Firefox, works for everything that I need, and anything that doesnt I kinda just walk away from. I also love the Zen interface and workflow.
