On desktop because of multi account containers On Android I use Vivaldi

I use Firefox because I really like the containers extension that makes sure each tab is its own environment to prevent cross contamination of cookies etc. Also, I can rest assured that ublock origin is working as intended by the author since it is primarily targeted toward Firefox these days I think.

Sadly I had to stop using Firefox on my gaming Windows box because for whatever reason my Firefox install seems to gobble up all of my GPU memory. It's working fine on Mac and Linux though.

Because Pale Moon became a dumpster fire.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it's because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it's bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can't get pulled away from it. Its all about what you're used to.

Because Edge broke JSON files - I couldn't search through an open JSON file anymore, because Edge decided to only partially load the file.

That's nice and all, but stop fucking with my plain text. If I want to fuck with it, I can use my extensions, WHICH THEY DISABLED/BLOCKED...

So yeah, back to Firefox, and it's been fine.

Because Brave didn't allow add-ons when I tried it. This was years ago so no idea what it's like now

I don't actually remember when I started using it. I remember using Netscape and then Firefox, but there had to be another browser in there. Maybe it was IE. I don't remember it sucking too bad back in the day.

Tried to download a bank statement the other day and Chrome marked it as malware. Also happened with my Internet bill. I'm done with Chrome

bottom navigation is a godsend these days as phone screens are 7". Also adblocker.

Because Lemmy told me to

Because Chrome stuffed up my task bar icons one time too many. (eg two Gmail icons, once for each account - randomly start working as bookmarks instead of their own window.) Fixing that takes many attempts

Firefox can't do this at all, but an extension fixed that.

I used to for many years and recently moved to Arc. It’s a totally different experience of browsing the internet and workspace management, however I’d like to go back to Firefox if it’s possible to tweak it as much as possible to Arc.

Absolutely. I only use chrome for d&d stuff because some specific formatting gets screwed up on Firefox.

I somehow just always followed since Netscape Navigator.

It has good add-ons be I give enough of my data to Google.

Idk really. At work I prefer chrome behaviour more. Also the spellcheck is better.
At home I prefer firefox more. Probably more because I like the addon feature like Dark reader and ublock on Firefox mobile.

Because old habits die hard.

When it first came it out it was slow slow slow. They've fixed that. Admittedly their search engine returns "sparse" results compared to google, but their security and commitment to privacy is worth the dearth of 'hits' to my more esoteric searches.
