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.
Firefox for the past 19 years. No need to change at this point.

Firefox with ublock always
Firefox with a load of plugins. Mostly adblockers, cookie blockers, and one that automatically runs through the dark patterns that are cookie prompts and rejects all the cookies it can.

What extension is this?
Consent-o-matic. This is their github page, the links to both the Chrome and Firefox addon store links are somewhere right there.
Firefox on desktop & mobile
Arc (only on Mac for now), still not completely mature but I hope they improve performance and stability in the future, as the core ideas are pretty great
Their spaces, pinned tabs and splitted views really make for a great experience
Also a fan of Arc. When I first started using it a year ago I thought it would be temporary but it quickly became my primary browser
+1 for Arc!
Firefox.
Firefox!
another one for Firefox. I use it on PC and Android too, tho it has some issues and bugs on mobile. But I don’t care.
LibreWolf, which is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy
Firefox. Moved because of the Manifest V3 changes around November 2022
I’ve been using Firefox as my main browser since it was called Phoenix. When I was 17 back in 2004 I put up flyers in my hometown to advertise its release. I’m never switching browsers.
Not Chrome. Not Edge. Not Brave.
Chrome is tied too closely to Google. I don’t trust Google with my data because their business model is all about monetizing anything you give them. It’s also always been bloated and slow on the Mac.
It’s a shame because when Edge first came out, it was great. Now it’s a bloated dumping ground of privacy-invading featuritis.
Brave recently had a bunch of privacy/monetization controversies that put me off of it as well.
That leaves me with Firefox and Safari.
Vivaldi seems interesting, but so far I haven’t seen any performance differences between it and Safari. Thought I’d give it a try to see how well it worked on an older Mac, but it was missing webp support there, just like Safari.

Brave on my Windows desktop, and Arc for my MacOS laptop
