I have been using Chrome for as long as I remember. It's just that Chrome is fast and it's consistent.

I can't really explain this well but the plugins, look and feel, and the general UI is of rich quality, according to me. I have heard of other browsers like Firefox, Vivaldi, Microsoft edge etc., But if you are already using the best possible browser, would you try other stuff? The answer would be a no.

Also, I have heard of Vivaldi and how it can be superior to Chrome, but I am not really interested in other browsers anymore.

Hi

What Browser Do you use on your Computer ?

I use Iridium Browser

The reason is that Iridium is a secure browser that is based on Chromium, configured for more privacy.

And it a very good option for anyone wanting a browser that supports Chrome extensions, while also having much more privacy than you’d get from Chrome.

Because Chrome is so incredibly slow for me I currently use Firefox Quantum which is there new browser. There's really no comparison to the speed then Firefox.

I've been using Opera since 2014. I used to use Mozilla Firefox for many many years. But then got tired of it, felt I wanted a better browser. I tried Opera, liked it better and have been using it ever since.

I only use Chrome while I play D&D with my friends online, since the website we use doesn't work well on Firefox. Other than that I always use Firefox these days since it uses less ram than Chrome. Plus on one of my older laptops I was having issues with Chrome crashing all the time, so I just switched to Firefox and now since I have a Firefox account all my passwords are saved, so if I was to use Firefox on a new device it would get carried over.

108% I use chrome. Have it on all PCs and always used it. Just got used to the options that you can have web extensions and can make your own customization to the software. Yet Edge use far fewer system resources

I've been a Firefox guy since probably 2007 or so. I did use Chrome for a year or two at one stage but I don't remember what pushed me back to FF.
Unfortunately, FF is kinda garbage these days but I don't really think Chrome is much better. I used Icecat for a while but went back to mainline Fox after I grew concerned with how far behind Icecat could be with versions.

After two years of being an avid Firefox user (because of its developer tools + stableness) I've switched back to Chrome. The reason behind the switch is some websites I spend quite a lot of time on (university intranet etc) were really slow and laggy on Firefox for some reason.

I still use Firefox Developer Edition whenever I'm working on a web project

I like firefox's stance on privacy, but their browser is kind of sluggish and slow. It is very noticeable on video and streaming sites. Takes up far too much resources as well.

I use the new Edge, both on my PC and phone. It's basically Chrome but faster and without Google spyware. My second choice would be Firefox, they have a really great mobile web browser, it's honestly one of the best.
