    Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.

    Mostly Safari since I am part of the golden cage anyway. If something does not work there, I fall back to Firefox.

      Safari has actually been a decent experience for me since I joined the golden cage a few months back. It really just works (most of the time™️), as do all most things Apple. Lack of support for some modern web technologies is rather off-putting, though…

        In general I agree. However, sometimes I feel like it takes so long for website to load on Safari. Lemmy is actually one of the website where it sometimes takes an eternity. The tab group feature is awesome though and I hate that Firefox has no good replacement for that anymore.

      This actually works really well for me, since it means I don’t have to play around with swapping accounts or do any effort to keep things separate.

      DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now

      How is that working for you? I am thinking of switching in my quest to get out of google stuff

        I tried that for quite a while but ultimately gave up. For many (technical or non-English) topics, I found no fitting result of my search on the first page.

    Firefox

    • I prefer to support a non-profit over a media giant
    • I prefer to have my data stored and handled by a non-profit over a media giant (whose interests [potentially] go against mine)
    • I prefer the dev tools over those in Chrome or Edge
    • I prefer the project goals of Firefox and Mozilla over Google/Chrome (Ads, Tracking) and Microsoft/Edge (onboarding to other products)

    There are several extensions I use. I guess I could probably find alternatives on the other browsers. I’ve also created some extensions [for myself] I could migrate or make compatible.

    I occasionally see issues and incompatibility. Using a different browser engine and provoking these issues is unfortunate and can be frustrating, but is important to keep open web standards in practice and not be completely at the hand of the mega corps.

    Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what’s the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.

    As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven’t switched back. So, not to say that one little bug “ruined” FF for me, I just haven’t had any reason to stop using Brave.

      Dunno about others, but I run older hardware and Chrom* was a resource piglet for me.

        Which is ironic, since when Chrome was released, it got traction for being slimmer and a lot faster than Firefox.

        It probably doesn’t help, that browsers had to become (almost) full operating systems and runtime environment.
