   I have been using #Firefox since 2004 and do not intend to stop anytime soon. You need to take it out of my dead hands. What about you? #chrome #opensource #linux #unix #macos

     @nixCraft personal FF al the way, including thunderbird. For work chrome and librewolf, since the google account / teams web shit works best on chrome (which I think google does on purpose). Qwant for search (long time google search but annoyed with the ad and promoted results)

     Chrome for work,

     Brave for all else now - despite the dodgies it's just too good and something like the future,
     Firefox occasionally and usually for special purposes.

     @nixCraft I keep hopping browsers because of their privacy claims and them I end up going back to firefox because of some controversial about the browser.

     Brave was the last one and I don't think I will ever quit firefox again. There was never any problems about privacy on firefox that I know

     I don't get calling Opera "Chinese Chrome". Did Opera/Vivaldi stop making their own browser engine and swap in Chrome?

     I've used Firefox since it came out. I ignored glitterati among tech people who rushed to Chrome when it came out claiming it was better.

     @nixCraft I went over the last 30 years from Mosaic to Netscape and then to Firefox and have never needed anything else. Works flawless for me in my professional and private life. Wide support on all platforms and increased attention to privacy nowadays. Tried others, but always returned. No need at all to support monopolist big tech, where the user is the product.

     @nixCraft Last year I finally reached my last straw with Google and Microsoft. Early in the year I switched to Firefox, and after a bit of tweaking (especially UserChrome), I've finally gotten it where I like.

     And as of about 3 months ago, I'm now running EndeavorOS as my daily driver OS. It's worth the move for me, but I know I'm also not the general population (I had installed Nextcloud and started hosting my own 'cloud' services before moving).

     @nixCraft favorite and main browser is Firefox for me. But I often need a second browser and I settled for Vivaldi (trusted track record as far as I can tell and strips it of some strange Google stuff). I wish Firefox had a speed dial page the way Vivaldi has though... #firefox #vivaldi

     @nixCraft Although I use @mozilla Firefox, I would argue that @brave out of the box has better privacy defaults and the scammy crypto features are not enabled by default.

     I would love to be shown another cross platform browser (besides Tor) that has better privacy defaults than #Brave. This is because we often need to recommend software to our normie friends who will be deterred from migratung if they are required to tweak settings, install addons, etc.
