    Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.

    Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

    Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

      And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts

          Ah yes, I think I heard of it ages ago; though it’s based on chromium so add blocking may stop working in 6-12 months,

            No. It is already in effect for over half a year.

            It won’t compleatly stop working but it makes it way more useless

    Firefox on desktop and mobile. Better privacy and more trustworthy than a browser tied to a billion dollar corp.

    Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:

    1. It’s relatively trustworthy.
    2. It uses the only non-WebKit-derived browser engine still in active development. Monoculture is bad.
    3. It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.

      Wait its going to be unsupported after?

        In Chromium and derived browsers, yes. It already doesn’t work in Safari and other WebKit-derived browsers. Firefox will soon be the only browser capable of running a truly effective ad-blocking extension.

      Firefox FTW!

      I can’t imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.

    I use Firefox.

    It’s 90% because I remember the days of Internet Explorer and how they had a monopoly and could do whatever they liked - and they did. It was pretty common to have to write two versions of code so that it would work on IE as well as other browsers.

    These days Edge, Chrome, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, pretty much all the major browsers except Firefox all use the Chromium engine, which puts them in a similar position as IE were in during the 90s and early 2000s. It scares me, so I use Firefox.

    Firefox for me.

    I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.

      Just normal Firefox? I used to be a chrome fanboy before learning about the privacy movement

        Yeah, just regular Firefox with a few add-ons like adblockers and script blockers and such. It’s got a pretty seamless sync with Firefox on my mobile too.

    PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^

    I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.

      yo question ab firefox coming from dude who knows very little ab it, i watched a video browser tier list by eric murphy and he listed hardened firefox in S tier, do u reach hardened firefox by downloading configs for it off github? how reliable is it and do things tend to crash if u try to have many options at the same time (like an amalgamtion of stuff from different ppl in order to reached a specific desired outcome, in terms of options, security settings and look)?

    I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.

    On desktop: Firefox On Android: Firefox

    The extension support is the killer feature, and the open source+supporting a diverse web ecosystem is a close second.

      I’m Firefox on desktop and Android as well.

      For me, I care about privacy and tracking. I use Unlock Origin, which imo is the best ad block and tracker system.

      Mozilla is also non-profit FOSS, so I trust them far more than other browser makers.

    Been using Firefox since it came out 18 years ago. Tried a few others for a bit, but always ended up back with the fox. Using it on all my computers and devices. Tried all kinds of plug-ins, currently using ublock, no-script, privacy badger, bloody vikings!, Bitwarden and… I guess that’s more or less it.

    I do have to use Edge a bit for work, just because of some systems that doesn’t really work on Firefox and I don’t want to use Chrome.

    firefox.

    nearly every other browser out there except Safari is just chromium with a coat of paint, and i am not a fan of monopolies.

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