With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I prefer Vivaldi over Firefox. More features, better customizability.

But the again I might be the only one...

Thankfully, I've been about Firefox since 2006. People can use what they like, but it does ache me inside seeing someone use Chrome, logged in with the yellow "Update" icon at the top right, an unholy trinity.

I just went back to Edge from Firefox. I've been a long-time user, but it seems like too many of the sites I use don't work properly and some not at all. It sucks because I've always preferred FF, but I gotta get sh*t done.

TOR browser is built off of Firefox and is even more private.

I use ungoogled-chromium with Firefox as a backup. The great thing about ungoogled-chromium is its a barebone browser, and that is exactly what I want. Only downfall is the browser does not auto update. I use change detector to get a notification when a new version is out.

Would be awesome if my company allowed to run anything but edge....

Any browser really. I missed the browser wars of old where everyone is free to use and defend their browsers.

I use Firefox because I always did and because I don't want to support the Blink (Chromium web engine) monopoly that even Apples Webkit can barely keep up with but please don't think Mozilla (Firefox owners) are accaptable by any means, they just aren't as bad in my mind!

I still can't get used to Dev Tools in Firefox, even though they might be superior to Chrome's.
