Librewolf on desktop and Iceraven on mobile
chrome
Brave, thinking about using firefox, and degoogle more
Brace or safari
Safari when I’m on my phone and a page won’t load in brave
On desktop, Librewolf (Firefox) and Brave. Sometimes I need a Chromoum browser (thanks Google), and Brave is one of the better options.
On iOS, it doesn’t really matter. Though, I went with Brave. Ad blocking and background media playback is great.
On Android I use Mull, which is a hardened Firefox, with goals similar to Librewolf. Again, Brave as a backup.
Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.
Edge.
Arc!
Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.
Qutebrowser and Firefox
Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

Opera
At home, Firefox. At work: Chrome because I'm a web developer and our app is currently broken in Firefox
Desktop:
Mullvad browser as daily driver (Firefox + Arkenfox + Tor Browser + ublock origin out of the box)
Degoogled chromium for any logged in accounts, each in its own profile (I prefer the chrome profile switcher)
Tor Browser for any onion sites
Mobile:
Mull (Firefox)
Brave on both.
- Native vertical tabs +1
- tablet UIs
- scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native
Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.
vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.
if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5

I usually stick to the browser that comes bundled with the OS. On my computer, I use Microsoft Edge, and on my phone I use Chrome. I'm just very lazy to download a different browser, I'm not biased at all. If I start using Linux, I'll be using Firefox (idk if different Linux distros bundle different browsers). If I ever switch to iOS or macOS, I'd use Safari.
I think I'm automatically being hated now for using a browser made by a company that sells my data to advertisers.
Orion (when it works 99% of the time) on my Mac. It’s pretty much all the benefits of Safari plus the ability to run some Firefox/Chrome extensions. I know it’s not FOSS yet, but they at least claim to be working on it. Firefox for the other websites that don’t work on Orion (very rare), and Chrome for the others that don’t work well at all on Orion/Firefox (almost never). I’m planning on deleting Chrome overall soon.
Edge and Chrome
Chromium on mac.
Firefox and Vivaldi.
Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.
I’m on MacOS, and I tend to mostly use 3 for different reasons.
Safari has been my goto for battery, but Firefox has caught up. I may hop over in MacOS 14. My big sticking point has been integration with Apple’s keychain software, and that should change during the next major OS update.
Chrome for stupid g suite products that disable features for other browsers (aka, Google’s video chat)
Edge for free access to GPT 4.
