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.

Iโ€™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 Appleโ€™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, Googleโ€™s video chat)

Edge for free access to GPT 4.

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.

Orion (when it works 99% of the time) on my Mac. Itโ€™s pretty much all the benefits of Safari plus the ability to run some Firefox/Chrome extensions. I know itโ€™s not FOSS yet, but they at least claim to be working on it. Firefox for the other websites that donโ€™t work on Orion (very rare), and Chrome for the others that donโ€™t work well at all on Orion/Firefox (almost never). Iโ€™m planning on deleting Chrome overall soon.

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.

Opera GX on my PC, Chrome on my school Chromebook

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 :(

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