Serious Discussion Which web BROWSER are you using and why did you choose this?

[ForgottenSeer 116559]

I committed myself to a number of browsers over the years, but I actually landed on Microsoft Edge in the past few months. As far as Chromium goes, Edge just feels responsive and modern. I've grown pretty fond of the interface and feature set, and it keeps my phone's browser easily synced. Edge for Android feels pretty slick too.

It also works perfectly with my AdGuard desktop client, of course.

Been using Firefox since v3 as my main browser, I've had no issues with it.

Secondary browsers I use are Librewolf & Brave.

I haven't noticed any ads. Browsing is very fast.

I ran the test, but as the compatibility table points out, it can't detect the blocking done by AdGuard's desktop app. It returns a "500 internal server error" on requests, apparently.

For example, ESET Safe Banking & Browsing

You can use a free anti-Keylogger, like KeyScrambler.

Edge - because of MSA, sync with Android, GUI, restricting flags and policies.
LibreWolf for FB only for privacy and security, the rest of the internet is blocked.
Brave for Google, like Youtube with adblocking, the rest of the internet is blocked.

On Win11 I run Mullvad browser in Sandboxie Plus, for any sites I'm unsure about, with uBlock Origin.

My otherwise main working browser is Librewolf, unsandboxed, also with uBO. I use Simple Tab Groups to separate my working spheres, which I find excellent. I tried Firefox profiles, but it's rather, urgh, primitive (unfortunately!).

Use Firefox sync with LW to sync between laptops (Win11 Pro and Fedora/Gnome).

Forgot the 'Why?'

I've always stuck with Firefox, locked down or hardened. But as has been written extensively elsewhere, the process of 'hardening' can be hit and miss. When these two LibreWolf and Mullvad browsers came along, I find they suits my needs perfectly, together. Mullvad browser always starts afresh, so it gets used for my surfing 'in unchatered waters' (sandboxed), and any sites I want to keep hold of, in whatever respect, I copy over to Librewolf.

I guess it's a cautious way of surfing. I use uBO in Advanced mode but I certainly don't know enough about staying safe, so this is my attempt at keeping things undeer control as much as my knowledge/ability lets me.

Edit: I also use Firefox with Containers in an attempt to keep online banking and shopping 'separated'.

Edge is my main browser as it is the lightest on Windows 11.
Brave, Chrome and Vivaldi are secondary browsers.
On mobile, Brave is the main browser.

At the moment, I primarily use Brave (that could change at any time). I also use Chrome as it is used exclusively for all Google stuff, Gmail, Calendar, Youtube etc. I also have Firefox as an alternative browser, mainly for another alternative and backup. I used to be a fulltime Firefox user ( starting with Mosaic in win 3.1) but there was an instance back in the pre 100 build days that caused it to freeze up in Mint, so that's when I switched to Brave and I haven't seen the need to switch back - yet.

I also have Edge installed in Win 11 but I rarely see it, let alone use it.

Firefox as primary and DuchDuckGo for unknown websites. Also, LibreWolf, Yandex and Tor.
