Which browser do you use most?

Poll to come.

I use Firefox because they promote tools to allow users to browse the internet in privacy. Chrome is basically a Hoover vacuum that sucks up all of your info for Google to use as they please.

Chrome. I'm deeply into the Google world anyways, so I'm ok w when it all works together.

I've gone the opposite direction and tried to de-Google myself completely. No thanks to the surveillance state.

Poor IE and Edge

I use Firefox...not because of deep state fears...though I do have them and distrust the heck out of Google.

But I suck about not rebooting my computer. Like it isnt unusual for me to go a month without rebooting it. And frequently a browser window is open most of that time. THough I do try to close all tabs and rebbot the browser daily. But Chrome seems to just pile up memory if you dont reboot regularly and it was getting to the point of draggin my laptop down consistently so i switched to FF and problem went away

I don't have much of a choice currently as I do QA on a product where Chrome is the primary browser we support.

I moved to Firefox. They've improved a lot and are at least on par with Chrome. I don't like Google having all that information on me.

Wait, this isn't a poll, there's no Trout option

Chrome without a doubt.

IE, for another week or so, until I buy a new laptop and expect to switch to Edge then.

At work, Chrome is slowly taking over from Edge, because one by one web applications we use are stopping the support of Edge. But if I'm interpreting the European privacy laws correctly, neither are actually in line with those laws, or at the very least encouraging users to break them.

Not overly happy with Google as an org, but I like their products. I've been using Chrome basically since I first tried it, and at work it's slowly taking over from IE and Edge also.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-26-2019, 07:01 PM

I'm Chrome, though I'd prefer to be Firefox. The former is simply more stable for me (despite the inane structure that has it being a memory hog far too often)
