Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

Firefox because it's one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.
Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.
And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts
Firefox gang ๐ I don't get the hate, the browser has been great for decades
Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.
Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:
Firefox FTW!
I can't imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.
It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.
Wait its going to be unsupported after?
In Chromium and derived browsers, yes. It already doesn't work in Safari and presumably other WebKit-derived browsers. Firefox will soon be the only browser capable of running a truly effective ad-blocking extension.
Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now
I know all you nerds use firefox, but i'm still on the plebian chrome
Boo, not even chromium
๐ I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can't use chrome anymore.
I did the same, except I just switched back to Firefox this past fall. Trying to degoogle myself
Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.
Firefox, I mean, its pretty much the default considering where we are
I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google's efforts of gobbling up the web. I don't see any reasons to switch.
Firefox.
I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didnยดt, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.
I use Firefox (and I've used it since it was called phoenix, and I've used the free software mozilla suit before that).
BUT I've been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don't trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.
Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.
I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.
Historically Firefox but I've recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
firefox on android has ublock origin and when google kills support for what lets adblockers work, apps like brave that are based on chromium will stop working
Firefox because its pre-installed on pretty much every Linux distro I'd want to try. I've used it for a long time, back in version 2.x. Then I tried out chrome for quite awhile but their pushback against adblockers made me migrate back to firefox. Haven't regretted it!
librewolf on PC, Mull on my android.
Same here. Couldn't be happier with those two.
I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.
Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.
Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.
Tor browser and librewolf, but I still have firefox installed.
Firefox still has some integrity unlike chrome and its clones.
vivaldi cus its just too gorgeous and so many things packed in face with heart eyes
Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.
Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.
PC: Qutebrowser (nice, quick, and good native keybinds) iOS: Ecosia (fork of Firefox app that I think is better for my use considering I use Ecosia as my search engine)
Qutebrowser
That's what i call based
That's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I mostly browse from my phone / tablet nowadays, but qutebrowser is such a good vim-like browser experience.
on desktop - firefox
on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)
for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.
mozilla isn't perfect and i don't agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw
Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.
Good to see another grapheneos user
Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)
I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.
Mozilla Firefox and Brave, I would say about 85% of my time is spent in Firefox, 15% are webpages that won't cooperate without using Chromium.
Firefox is my browser for life, but I use a lot of them depending on the context. Chromium has very good dev tools that I need for my work. Safari has good battery performance on macOS laptops. Arc has some nifty new ideas.
I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.
Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox
Web application developer by trade... So, unfortunately Chrome at work. But, at home and on mobile, Firefox 100% of the time!
