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.

Firefox.

I'm so happy to see that almost everyone here uses Firefox or a fork of it!

Librewolf. It is Firefox with private defaults.

Been using Brave for several years on all my devices, I might switch to a Firefox variant at some point tho.

Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

Brave on both.

  • Native vertical tabs +1
  • tablet UIs
  • scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native

Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.

vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.

if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5

When X breaks, i use Lynx.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

At home, Firefox. At work: Chrome because I'm a web developer and our app is currently broken in Firefox

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi. For me, in terms of usability, it's the closest thing to Opera (and by "Opera" I mean the browser that it was before moving to Blink/Chromium).

[-] 10EXP@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Recently moved from Librewolf to Floorp (also based on Firefox). It is at least worth checking out I’d say, especially if you’re on Vivaldi specifically because you can’t find something which competes in customisation, workspaces, and sidebars and all.

Firefox and chrome

[-] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Edge. I hardly use my PC for any actual browsing other than torrent sites.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.
