thought this would be a fun first post. so what's a good computer browser in your opinion, and why do you think?

It is a difficult choice between Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, and Firefox.

I use Firefox myself at the moment though, no real reason why. I just switch between them when I fancy a change lol

I use Firefox myself, because I like the setup mostly.

The interface in Firefox is fully customizable and has support for extensions like ublock origin that the big corporations don't like. Chrome is going to be removing support for ad blocking soon. Firefox also has more privacy features.

As @Scarlet mentioned, pretty much every other browser is Chromium based, so Firefox is the only browser not controlled by Google. It's the last bastion of the open web.

I used to use Firefox, but the latest versions broke HW video decoding for me, so I use Brave now.

Firefox for it's no-nonsense customization - all the alternatives have issues (either minor or major) that Firefox rises above. Brave would be the only one of the others I'd consider, but it's still built on Chrome... and with Brave search set up in Firefox there's really no need to use Brave.

I use Brave on Windows and Android as it features an ad-blocker and can get BAT coins at the end of the month (if activated), but not too concerned getting BAT these days.

I use a fork of Firefox called Waterfox. Basically just a lighter version of Firefox with less telemetry.

I mean the choices are Chrome, Firefox, and Webkit/Safari. I've always been a Firefox user.

Firefox because it’s the only one I could get tab syncing and sending working across multiple devices, including Windows, MacOS, iPhone, and iPad.

Brave. Hides my data and stuff.

 

[Bagel Le Stinky]

I use brave

Opera. It has built-in AdBlock.

Used to use Chrome but it's been a year ever since I last used it.

Changed to Firefox but the stoopid animal gave me troubles with my passwords.

Opera on both Mobile and Desktop has all I need, aforementioned AdBlock, slight customization, and decent extensions to block even more ads and whatnot.

Don't feel like changing anytime soon, might as well use it for as long as I have access to Internet.

Anyhow, I use Chrome. And Windows 7. I know, I'm fucked, I'm stuck in this google hole I've dug myself into, and death is coming for me next year, but I refuse to go down without a fight.

Been using Chrome for the last few years.

Chrome, you means Google Chrome?

You must be loved to by spied on by google, and censored, and lot of plugin got blocked because of some US politics which i don't care of, since i am not american. And your data profile gonna be sold by google to 3rd party.

Nah. I prefer Chromium then Chrome, prefer Firefox then Chromium, prefer Brave then Firefox, and that the one i used. And prefer duck duck go rather than google. Only using google for a special search

But for battery-wise use safari. No browser could beat safari for energy purposes.

Brave is Chromium.

Yeah not Google Chrome for sure. The Google thing is famous for spying, if you okay on that, than use it. I prefer Chromium, especially the variant that specialized on security, privacy, and ads block.

 

[The Catboy]

I use Firefox because everything else is just Chrome
