Because Microsoft and google are abysmal companies.I don't trust either of them (he typed, on an android phone - at least its been ROMmed)
I don|t. I use Edge
Because sometimes I need to use Not Safari, and the alternatives are too awful to consider.
I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it's been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn't tell what any button was.
With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven't had the time and patience to do it.
Because old habits die hard.
I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it's because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it's bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can't get pulled away from it. Its all about what you're used to.
Because Edge broke JSON files - I couldn't search through an open JSON file anymore, because Edge decided to only partially load the file.
That's nice and all, but stop fucking with my plain text. If I want to fuck with it, I can use my extensions, WHICH THEY DISABLED/BLOCKED...
So yeah, back to Firefox, and it's been fine.
Absolutely. I only use chrome for d&d stuff because some specific formatting gets screwed up on Firefox.
I don't actually remember when I started using it. I remember using Netscape and then Firefox, but there had to be another browser in there. Maybe it was IE. I don't remember it sucking too bad back in the day.
people on the internet told me to
I'm not, because I'm lazy and it seems like too much work to protect my privacy when my government doesn't give a fuck.
It’s not Chrome or a Chromium-based browser.
Was originally an Opera user (before they switched away from Presto), then switched to Firefox afterwards.
Firefox was my pick because it was good enough and extremely customizable.

I miss old Opera.
Because Brave didn't allow add-ons when I tried it. This was years ago so no idea what it's like now
It has good add-ons be I give enough of my data to Google.
Tried to download a bank statement the other day and Chrome marked it as malware. Also happened with my Internet bill. I'm done with Chrome
