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
Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.
Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:
Firefox gang π I don't get the hate, the browser has been great for decades
Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now
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.
Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.
I know all you nerds use firefox, but i'm still on the plebian chrome
π I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can't use chrome anymore.
Boo, not even chromium
Firefox still has some integrity unlike chrome and its clones.
Firefox. after the manifestv2 deprecation was approaching for chome I packed up and switched to firefox. I rely on uBlock Origin too much to be lest stuck on a browser it doesn't run on. also the pleasant surprise of full extension support on the nightly android version was a nice touch!
Firefox.
I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didnΒ΄t, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.
Firefox, I mean, its pretty much the default considering where we are
I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google's efforts of gobbling up the web. I don't see any reasons to switch.
I use Firefox (and I've used it since it was called phoenix, and I've used the free software mozilla suit before that).
BUT I've been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don't trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.
Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.
I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.
Librewolf and ungoogle chromium for the occasional websites that only works well with chrome.
Firefox on PC, Mull on phone and Brave on tablet (until Firefox has tab bar for tablet UI). I can't browse the internet with awful ads, so ublock origin is a must.
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, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.
vivaldi cus its just too gorgeous and so many things packed in face with heart eyes
Lmao I guess Iβll be the only person to say Safari. Itβs fast, privacy focused, and secure. I donβt care about extensions and I like the UI.
On desktop I use librewolf, and occasionally vivaldi when I need to access something that requires chromium.
On mobile I use the duckduckgo browser, which has a lot of the features built in that I would require an add-ons with firefox. I used to use fennec, but it had the problem of being bloated with all of the default options on desktop like the sign in, which I do not like, and at the same time being anemic with only like 5 add-ons.
Also, fennec really annoyed me by hijacking anything that required a browser, even if one was built into a program I was using, or was a secondary option. I had the most annoying time trying to sign into SoundCloud, until I finally deleted fennec and I was presented with a normal, native login screen.
I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.
Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox
Firefox because its pre-installed on pretty much every Linux distro I'd want to try. I've used it for a long time, back in version 2.x. Then I tried out chrome for quite awhile but their pushback against adblockers made me migrate back to firefox. Haven't regretted it!
Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.
Firefox, Epiphany web browser and midori. When I'm using windows I use Firefox.
Firefox and Firefox.
I also use qutebrowser on one machine and I've been using Pulse which is a Firefox fork that is rather nice.
Honestly I'm just stick of all the Chromium browsers out there - stop giving Google such a massive lead in everything.
I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.
Firefox. And I even installed Thunderbird again after all these years, since they are going to have a UI refresh this summer. It's a very nice nostalgic feeling to once again use a local email client.
If the new theme is good, it's going to be a keeper. :)
Vivaldi, because it has amazing tab management.
on desktop - firefox
on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)
for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.
mozilla isn't perfect and i don't agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw
LibreWolf. It's Firefox without the adware and sponsored bullshit. I can only take so many "Sponsored Link", "Recommended by Pocket", and MOZILLA VPN OMG!1!1! random popups before I declare a piece of software adware, and Mozilla has crossed that line. LibreWolf also has a bunch of privacy stuff, some of which I turn off because I think it goes a bit too far and breaks some websites.
Historically Firefox but I've recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.
firefox on android has ublock origin and when google kills support for what lets adblockers work, apps like brave that are based on chromium will stop working
mull on mobile and firefox on desktop, ungoogled chromium if i really have to.
Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.
Fennic on the phone and Firefox on the desktop.
