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 personal. I like Edge for work stuff.

I want to use Firefox, but I'm too used to vertical tabs and the plugins available for Firefox aren't quite there yet, so Brave it is.

Been using Brave for several years on all my devices, I might switch to a Firefox variant at some point tho.

Floorp. It's a Firefox fork with good privacy and security, but not as intrusive as Librewolf and doesn't break websites by default

Arc + uBo Mac, Firefox + uBo mobile

Librewolf on desktop and Iceraven on mobile

Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with apz.overscroll.enabled set to true. The best experience on Linux.

Brave. It got better privacy ratings than Firefox and I really like the design.

Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.

Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

Desktop:

Mullvad browser as daily driver (Firefox + Arkenfox + Tor Browser + ublock origin out of the box)

Degoogled chromium for any logged in accounts, each in its own profile (I prefer the chrome profile switcher)

Tor Browser for any onion sites

Mobile:

Mull (Firefox)

Brave on both.

  • Native vertical tabs +1
  • tablet UIs
  • scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native

Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.

vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.

if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5

Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.

On desktop, Librewolf (Firefox) and Brave. Sometimes I need a Chromoum browser (thanks Google), and Brave is one of the better options.

On iOS, it doesn’t really matter. Though, I went with Brave. Ad blocking and background media playback is great.

On Android I use Mull, which is a hardened Firefox, with goals similar to Librewolf. Again, Brave as a backup.
