Qutebrowser
That's what i call based
That's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I mostly browse from my phone / tablet nowadays, but qutebrowser is such a good vim-like browser experience.

Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.
Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.
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.

Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)
I use Firefox wherever I can will continue to do so in the forseeable feature. Why? Because Firefox is currently the biggest actor in FOSS web browser space. It makes most sense to support them.
Firefox, I hate chrome lol
Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...
I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.
Tor browser and librewolf, but I still have firefox installed.
I went and checked and have discovered I'm the resident browser hipster.
Ecosia.
It's a reskinned version of chrome or chromium or something where your default search engine is Ecosia. The Ecosia search engine is just Bing reskinned and the ad revenue you generate goes towards planting trees!
I've been using it for quite a while, I'm probably responsible for a couple hundred new trees at this point, if not more. They keep a running tally for you but I've used the search engine on multiple devices and haven't bothered to see if you can synch the tally across all of them.
The entire project is up to 175,500,000 trees so far.

Firefox is such a great browser. I like that it allows all of the extensions and adblockers.
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.
Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.

Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.
Good to see another grapheneos user

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.
Chrome. The browser is still great and Google's already in my bedroom. I donate to Mozilla Foundation. I secretly hope that Mozilla takes over a Chromium fork.

Mozilla Firefox and Brave, I would say about 85% of my time is spent in Firefox, 15% are webpages that won't cooperate without using Chromium.
Firefox is my browser for life, but I use a lot of them depending on the context. Chromium has very good dev tools that I need for my work. Safari has good battery performance on macOS laptops. Arc has some nifty new ideas.
Brave
PC - Librewolf, Firefox, and very rarely Brave
Phone - Mull and Firefox Nightly
Firefox cuz it uses like no ram and it's completely open source while being detached from the chromium ecosystem
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.
Brave - works mobile and desktop for me.
Web application developer by trade... So, unfortunately Chrome at work. But, at home and on mobile, Firefox 100% of the time!
