Opera. Gotta love that speed dial feature. Also being able to turn off advertisements without needing another add-on.
What Is Your Preferred Web Browser?
Firefox Nightly and Web (Epiphany)
Has anyone used surf?
Do the Firefox users just use it because it's the default or because they like it more?
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
- Edited
I don't have just one...Chromium, Firefox, Palemoon, Vivaldi, Waterfox...TOR when I want to be anonymous.

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

+1.
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.
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.
I'm surprised that brave have such a low number of votes
Firefox, it looks great without title bar.
Solus is actually the first distro that I used where 144Hz truly works without annoying micro stutters.
My tweaks:
mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_ ;200
layout.frame_rate;144
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.frame-rate;144
layers.acceleration.force-enabled;true

I have to add that FIREFOX means in my case only in private mode and a lot of the features on offer turned off.
I also kick out most of the default search engines, I only keep Startpage.com and, in case needed, Google and DuckDuckGo.
