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.

Same, because it’s a good browser and because of their commitment to an open internet.
I keep telemetry enabled (it can be perused openly on telemetry.mozilla.org if interested).

Firefox
Librewolf, because it’s a hardened version of Firefox
Can elaborate on what that means for a dummy like me
LibreWolf doesn’t have the privacy invasive pocket extension out of the box, and instead comes with UBlock origin. It disables Google safe browsing, because Google, and denies canvas access to websites by default. It also disables the Mozilla telemetry that’s enabled by default in vanilla Firefox.

Also Firefox.
The one and only
I use orion on Mac and it works well 99% of the time.
Until recently, chrome. Recently I started experimenting with Firefox and qutebrowser.
I used FF for a long time then chrome because of how much was deved for it. Now I’m trying to switch back to FF, but getting out of the chrome eco system is such a pain in the ass
Personally had an ok switch. My biggest issue was auto completions. Which was solved with Bitwarden.
I need to just bite the bullet and deal with the swap, as chrome has gotten worse and worse over the years
Firefox. I’ve always used Firefox except for services that don’t support it (like GeForce Now, which I do have Chrome installed for). I’d say my main reason for sticking with it is wanting to support a more “open web” concept. I also use it on mobile in order to get adblock there and appreciate the browser sync.
Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with
apz.overscroll.enabledset to true. The best experience on Linux.Firefox both on my desktop computer and mobile phone
Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.
Firefox, but Vivaldi seems cool and I might start using it in on mobile.
Firefox at the moment, but every so often I get fed up with its performance and switch to Chrome. Won’t happen anytime soon at the moment, due to the Mv3 shit they are pulling off though
Many years ago that was kind of the case for me but, if you’re finding Firefox less performant than Chrome these days, it’s most certainly an add-on or, if on Linux, a snap issue, or you’re doing some pretty insane stuff specifically designed to take advantage of Chrome-only features.
