Poll What Browser(s) are you using in 2024?

Appreciate both you and SeriousHoax, It's one more extension I can eliminate, my objective is to simplify always. Thank you.

Same with me. With what I posted above, I was able to get rid of Dark Reader completely. I won't keep harping in it, but that is the one thing that anything Chrome has on Firefox; their built-in color management simply works well. Firefox's colors do not. That's the one thing that keeps me using Vivaldi.

Firefox

Chrome and Edge. Both parent companies are going to rule the world anyway, so might as well join them.

Those are pretty much the same though; they use the same engine.

Yep. A bit sad I suppose. But as the internet is now critical infrastructure, Chromium based browsers are the standard for compliance and compatibility.

Agreed. But I guess my comment was more about the need for two browsers that use the same engine. Chrome and Firefox, I get. But twice the Chrome?

FireFox is still number 1 for me but there is still plenty of room for improvements.

I don't know how MS is getting away with bundling Edge in Windows in 2024! I stopped using Edge completely and blocked
it and Bing with 3rd party Apps.

Edge is actually a very good browser overall but I don't agree with Microsoft's anti- competitive practices.

I use three web browsers in 2024, all for different purposes.

Brave - Casual Browsing
Firefox - Login to sites where I have an account (except Google)
Librewolf - Anything that has to deal with Google.

When I use Windows, I use Brave and god forbid it, Edge. Esets browser security and privacy work best with Edge. If not I would only use Brave. Macbook just Safari. I have stopped using Orion, because I don't need 2 browsers. I wish I could use Safari in Windows. #¤%&5

Chrome for over 10 years. I just can't get used to MS Edge Chromium which bugs me as I want to use it as my daily browser.

 

[SpiderWeb]

I had to be honest with myself. I wanted to say Firefox, but the reality is I use Safari on my iPhone way more throughout the day, such is life in 2024.

 

[Moonhorse]

Firefox currently, just because it supports extensions (adguard) on android

I remember a time when you could. I tried it in college, but it didn’t stick. This was like 15 years ago when they had a native app for a short while.

Firefox primarily. Edge just freezes randomly on my maching i5-12500H 12th gen with 16gig ram and Intel Iris Xe graphics whereas Firefox is almost all of the time responsive. Maybe it's a setting in Edge I need to change.
Occasionally Comodo Dragon (Chromium) to test the release and needed if using Comodo Secure Shopping. I'd use it full time as it's quick but need to find the right dark mode theeme.
Time to figure out what's going on with my Edge.

 

[blackice]

I did have Edge just suddenly close on my PC yesterday. Just disappeared. No error message, no crash and hang. Just poof.

Consider yourself lucky. I unpinned it from my taskbar long ago. MS has ruined it completely for me.

 

[Captain Holly]

Firefox is my default with Chromium as a secondary backup browser. This is in Linux Mint. I don't use Windows or Edge. I gave MS several chances over the last year but have really come to the conclusion MS is not to be trusted.

C.H.

Honestly I stay for the tab syncing and ad blocking on iOS. I really like Firefox and their tab syncing is premium, but they have a few quirks on iOS that are annoying. I filed a bug report, but they didn’t check it fully and just said ‘works for me’. I may just go back to safari iOS and Chrome PC and sync with iCloud, but that’s a pain.

You do know Safari is just as private as Firefox? If you try Safari, please let me know what you think about it now. Thanks.

Yes, the problem is tab syncing with my PC. I go back and forth a lot.

I like safari fine on iOS. It just works and it’s smooth and you get extensions.

Edit: I should say tab and bookmark syncing. I find it very useful to pick up where I left off or want to return to no matter what device I have available.
