What's your preferred browser?

[DeezHands]

I’ve been pretty committed to Firefox for some time now (mainly because I have a lot of bookmarks saved) and I was just curious to know who favors what browser and why? What is the most popular/highly rated browser?

I use Chrome at home and Opera at work.

Chrome use to be my preferred but I always had that “Waiting for cache” issue and it would take forever.

I have never come across that issue

It was a couple years ago and it was an older version so maybe I’ll try it out again

There are many good mozilla based browsers that allow the freedoms that Firefox chose to remove. Unfortunately Cyberfox, a good browser, is facing demise unless it is reserrected by a new developer. Waterfox is a great browser and regularly updated. Your data can be copied from Firefox to either of the above browsers too.

Opera is also a first rate browser, and by default has a built in free VPN.

Palemoon. It is based on RR ESR v 38, before the Australis theme.
I also use FF ESR which doesn’t update every 4 - 6 weeks and only gets security patches, not all the cosmetic changes.

Firefox for me - for many, many a year.
never been a fan of Google, so Chrome is always low in my list.
each time FF makes a change I don’t like, like Quantum (although that one I did actually like) I give other browsers a spin, most recent being SlimJet and Opera.
loved them both and used them for around two months but for some reason that know escapes me, I went back to the old and trusted FF.

I have my own start page with personalised HTML and Javascript and FF is the only browser that seems to follow most of the accepted standards the most.

Oh, and I just remembered the reason for leaving FF those months ago - it was when uBlock Origin had that hiccup and wasn’t supporting Firefox’s WebExtension change to UBO’s, somewhere around uBlock v1.12 or something, took gorhill awhile to release a fix.

For me I use Mozilla Firefox at home and Google Chrome at work. They both do their job well.

Cocoon. Fast and secure.

Any updates for us?

[DeezHands]

I see. I’ve started giving Chrome a chance again and it was simple to transfer all my bookmarks over from FF. I’ll still be keeping FF in the pocket in case Chrome gives me any issues.

Ok…shall we mark your thread as solved then ?

I’m changing my mind. Palemoon v 28 came out on August 16th. I tried updating one of the four Win 7 computers in the house. It refuses to even run.
FF Quantum will probably be my default browser if Moonchild doesn’t fix v 28 of Palemoon.
