Brave, the ad-blocking browser from former Mozilla CEO, grabs $4.5 million:

Brave Software, the new web browser company co-founded by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, has raised $4.5 million in seed funding for the continued development of its open source browser that blocks online ads and other trackers. Unlike traditional web browsers where ad-blocking takes place via a third-party add-on or extension, Brave’s browser has this technology built in, claiming not only to offer users more privacy, but also increased speed and performance – especially when surfing the mobile web.

According to metrics shared by Brave, the desktop version of the browser offers a 40 to 60 percent speed increase, and a 2x to 4x speed increase on mobile devices. Because of its ad-blocking and script-blocking features, mobile users will also see less battery consumption and data usage.

The browser offers a variety of security and safety features, as well, including support for encrypted data traffic via HTTPS Everywhere, fingerprinting shields, phishing protection, malware filtering and the above-mentioned script blocking.
The Brave browser is planning its 1.0 release for September

Chrome and Edge , because Appcontainer

 

[LahiruRajinda]

I use Opera for its turbo compression and better memory management.

 

[simbelmayne]

I use both Chrome and Mozilla, because I'm used to them =) Two years ago it was a problem for me to use Chrome because of the amount of RAM that it eats, but then I bought the new PC and everything became fine. I'm not interested in any new browsers because the ones that I use now, satisfy all my needs. They have to piss me off really bad, to make me download something new.

I've been using Edge since the Anniversary update. I installed Adblock it's working great. I find it faster than chrome.

 

[Amiga500]

I use palemoon as my main browser as i loved the older looking firefox.I see no reason to have another browser installed as pale moon serves me great.

 

[PEllis]

I currently use Google Chrome. For the longest time I used Internet Explorer. I remember installing Chrome years ago for the first time and seeing how fast and smooth it was. It was like alien technology compared to IE, lol.

I'm using since the 90's Firefox/Mozilla only: nearly from the start of this project ("Mozilla foundation").
The advantages (in my eyes): highly customizable (lots of add-ons and designs/skins), quite stable
and secure (in the past few years). But when i will have some more time then will also take a look at
the brand new browsers/alternative browsers like Cent, edge,vivaldi, chromium etc.....

 

[King Alpha]

I use Chrome (Laptop) and Firefox (Desktop).

EDIT: and Microsoft Edge (Both Laptop and Desktop).

 

[tonibalas]

My current default browser is Cent.
At the moment Edge is used as secondary browser.
Most of the time i am using Firefox or Cyberfox as my main browser and Cent for movies and live streaming.
Cent in movies is using less CPU than Firefox.
p.s: i am waiting Vivaldi to mature to use it again very nice browser

Chrome 64 Bits - for my family - as I find it stable, secure, extension & overall good.
Cyberfox portable Intel 64 Bits - I use it.

Tried Vivaldi portable 32 Bits - I find it good but still there are quirks & not ready to replace the main browser on the system.
Tried Edge - I find it buggy & kinda incomplete browser, updates/improvements will make it better so needs little time.

Will give a try to Brave when stable is out.

I can redirection fails when clicking on Microsoft Answers links from Google on Chrome, but works fine in Incognito and on Edge.

Browsers using:
Chrome (Windows), Opera (Android), Edge, Safari (Mac/iOS)

I honestly have no idea of what causes that redirection loop (and its failure). I just don't bother with it anymore and use Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge.

 

[broughie]

I use Firefox because of great extensions eg vtzilla not available chrome allows me to check progs before I download them also my password manager Roboform can access before homepage loads which chrome doesnt so overall firefox best for customisation & speed for me.

 

[Lucent Warrior]

Chrome and Edge here as well, mainly for the same reason @Umbra stated, that and they are both light and quick.

 

[StriderHunterX]

I mainly use Chrome and Firefox as close second.

IE is exclusively to run pages that need it and very specific cases.I want to use Chromodo,but I feel it doesn't have the same flexibility as Chrome.(Doesn't update fast enough)

Will dedicate serious time to Edge in the future,though.Just to be prepared...

 

[FrankS]

I'm using Firefox for being always on Fire

 

[Vipersd]

Pale Moon and Slimjet, occasionally Vivaldi.

 

[Tabeer]

I think Google Chrome is the best of all. Other browsers like Firefox, Edge etc. are hanged up for no reason.

 

[Andytay70]

cyberfox is my default and only browser.

 

[Andytay70]

righnow i use cyberfox but it's hanged up for no reason.

Disable all your addons then try it again?

Are some of these even tracked in market share-style polls? Reading some of those names for the first time.
