JoshStrobl always been firefox. surprised 1% of people use gnome web, i think it's quite neat! people who use vivaldi, chrome and opera, tut tut...

    FireFox with add-on "Privacy Badger", as it keeps out optional apps and connections when i stream to TwitchTV.

    raenii Hey, I use Epiphany too! It's great for light browsing. And I love the visual cohesion with the rest of Gnome Applications

    Opera. Gotta love that speed dial feature. Also being able to turn off advertisements without needing another add-on.

    Firefox Nightly and Web (Epiphany)

    Justin I use it because I don't want a net dominated by the GAFAM with no right for privacy, etc.
    Also firefox isn't the fastest browser but apart from specific use cases, it isn't noticeable in real life on modern computers.
    Firefox engine is currently the only viable alternative to the webkit/blink monopoly (and it already lost on the mobile).

      Justin I like it because Mozilla actually seems to care about privacy, and at the same time they're not really sacrificing any noticeable amount of functionality or performance.

      I tried them all but at the end, it is always with Firefox that I have the least disappointment overall (even if some things still bother me), concerning the balance between features, freedom, compatibility, ease of use, addons, website rendering, customization of the interface and functions...
      As for chromium & co, I have always seen things that are not very clear, such as parameters that are not taken into account, forced or not practicable.
      To sum up, I have more trust in Firefox

        I don't have just one...Chromium, Firefox, Palemoon, Vivaldi, Waterfox...TOR when I want to be anonymous.

          Justin Do the Firefox users just use it because it's the default or because they like it more?

          I use it because it's the only way to get Flash working.

          +1.

          kyrios Firefox engine is currently the only viable alternative to the webkit/blink monopoly

          Didn't Mozilla announce that Firefox was going to switch to a webkit engine..? Or was it only on mobiles..? 🤔

          Is there any web browser other than Gnome Web that makes use of headerbar? I really liked the integration with Gtk+ themes that Gnome Web has but it has ugly support for youtube.

          raenii It has a headerbar which looked neat. It's a shame that it doesn't work well with youtube.

          Anybody tried using Basilisk browser from the Palemoon people?

            Also, what do you think the likelihood of Microsoft's Edge browser ( new one based on chromium) being ported over to Linux?

            @Justin Honestly I use it cause I think tons of these browsers are just reinventing the wheel. Vivaldi seems really cool to tinker with but FF gets my work done, is customizable enough, and has the extensions I want (uMatrix, privacy badger etc.) It's also nice to be settled into a relatively stable and long standing piece of software and Firefox provides all that while being OSS.
