I'm currently using firefox on the desktop. As for why, the primary reason is sloth. The secondary reason is that it is to block almost all the ads and getting Chrome so to do is nigh impossible. Chrome is better in almost every other way so there is that. As I said, sloth.

I have 4 which I use in different places etc.
- Palemoon - Firefox - Waterfox - Edge (New one based on Chromium, this should replace your Chrome immediately if you are on Windows platform and dont use google account)
I dont use google stuff or websites.

Predominantly Chrome, but Safari when on iPad. Firefox and Opera for occasions when I "snoop".

I use Firefox at home and almost always at work. I switched at home from IE because certain web sites don't work on it, whereas at work I have to sometimes use IE because sites don't work in Firefox. I don't really have a favorite. If all web sites would work properly on a single browser, that would be my favorite,.

Opera. It was the first browser I used after Internet Explorer back in the day, and stuck to it. Never felt there is anything wrong with opera, the layout is comfortable, there are many tools and add-ons. I'm content with it.

Oh yeah µBlock Origin is a necessity on any browser these days, or is it now uBlock Origin for people who have hard time finding µ Remember to add your country to uBlock lists, and subscribe to other lists you deem necessary like social annoyances etc.

I have been using burning foxes for... more than a decade now. Switched over back in day when IE was more "Internet Exploder" than everything else.
Oh yeah µBlock Origin is a necessity on any browser these days, or is it now uBlock Origin for people who have hard time finding µ Remember to add your country to uBlock lists, and subscribe to other lists you deem necessary like social annoyances etc. I have no clue about blockers and plugins and just set this up. ProBoards already recognised it and tries to guilt-trip me now. Youtube running in the background for three songs now and not one interruption, that's noice. The country is under the filter lists tab, right? For me, this was already active after installation. Sorry about the rambling, I'm Merrill totally inexperienced with this.

I guess it is ok to sacrifice some speed for the blocker instead of having some background shenanigans run my PC into the ground instead. And that'S the thing, I can deal with advertisment banners, unless they are pop-ups or redirects, the latter to virus-infested porn sites or something, but I'm more concerned about the background tracking script-things which I cannot see.

It was pretty much the first time I did something with firefox except for updating. Never got any plugins, except for what might already have been built-in. I just want to keep that PC safe. It is just a year old and wasn't cheap.

I used Firefox for several years, switched to Chrome, now I'm back to Firefox with Ublock and Ghostery.
***
Any recommendations on a Search Engine? I was using Google but... bleh, it's Google. I switched to Bing for a bit but the constant "TRY EDGE! BUY EDGE" pop ups killed it for me, so fuck Bing. Now I'm trying Duckduckgo for the past couple days but I'm not super impressed. Still using it for now though.

Still using it for now though. New Edge is de-googled chromium, faster and takes less resources. It seems to be ok. I've used Duckduckgo for about ten years now, since I destroyed google accounts etc. I've resorted to other search engines only few times during this period. It works for me. There is also StartPage which uses googles results but clears trackers and crap off from them.

I use Firefox. Used to use Chrome but I'm less and less comfortable giving data to Google so freely. Also used to use Edge a little but it was terribly buggy, it would just crash at random times. Now that it's on Chromium I'm not interested in using it anymore.
Also use uMatrix on Firefox. It's by the same guy who made uBlock Origin but it's more granular - you can see every source coming to a page and block the various categories for each - cookies, css, scripts, frames (like an embedded video), and a couple others. You'd be surprised how many pages have Facebook embedded. It makes going to new websites a little tedious, because sometimes you have to enable things and reload multiple times for the page to even show up properly, but I prefer the extra privacy and control.
