With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I switched to FF a few years ago when my Chrome was showing some bloat. FF works for almost everything, but from time to time some sites, forms, e-commerce, etc., have issues with non-Chrome browsers. In that event, I use Edge.

What’s wrong with Brave? Does this effect Brave?

I switched from chrome to Firefox 5 years ago but for some reason, Firefox loading acts weird and video playback also is weird...Eventually moved to Vivaldi and I'm pretty happy wit it so far.

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

I don't trust the libertarian Brave guy (formerly of Firefox, haha): https://www.searchenginejournal.com/brave-browser-under-fire-for-alleged-sale-of-copyrighted-data/491854/

Vivaldi and Opera with Chromium as a back up are my Blink browsers.

Firefox and Firefox Beta are my main browsers. I use the containers add on with FF Beta to basically use it as a sort of equivalent of Ferdi but with Firefox Beta allowing Google services in one account can talk to each other, all contained in one container that corresponds to one tab group/window.

Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?

I use ungoogled-chromium with Firefox as a backup. The great thing about ungoogled-chromium is its a barebone browser, and that is exactly what I want. Only downfall is the browser does not auto update. I use change detector to get a notification when a new version is out.

I've been using the internet since 1999. I've been using Firefox before it was Firefox, and before it was Phoenix, back when it was just "Mozilla". (The original browser became SeaMonkey, but it's been slowly abandoned to the point that it doesn't work on modern sites anymore.) I've been frustrated at times and have sometimes used Chrome, Waterfox and Epiphany (Linux web browser) at times but I always come back to Firefox. Back in the Geocities era in 2000 Netscape 4.x was so poor at CSS I developed for Internet Explorer on my personal sites, (to my regret), but Mozilla eventually caught up.

Been using Firefox for a long, very long time.

I prefer Vivaldi over Firefox. More features, better customizability.

But the again I might be the only one...
