Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Want to get into Nyxt. Hackable in common lisp! But for me on Guix it crashes within 5 minutes of use. Damn I need to fix it.

eww. (built into emacs). Used to google issues during terminal distro installations. Also good for simple blogs and github readme's, but I plan to replace that with a feed reader and a proper forge explorer package.

But as a depressed gamer, I've been sticking to firefox so far.

Edge. I hardly use my PC for any actual browsing other than torrent sites.

Firefox and chrome

Brave on laptop and on phone. I tried to switch to Firefox recently but too many little things bugged me. I still have Firefox on my phone for when something doesn't work in Brave (like free movies on Southwest flights).

Safari for daily driver. Firefox for backup. Mullvad for the old site.

Chrome for development (because our customers use that) and Safari for iOS/Firefox for personal usage

Keep going back to Chrome, but back on Firefox. The problem is all the webpages Firefox tends to break unfortunately :(

No I just like it 😇 Also everyone else responded Firefox why not provide other options.

Not in the habit of providing you data, thanks. Our browser choice is none of your business.
