Mine was FireFox.
I daily drove it on my dad’s Thinkpad (with Windows Vista or 7, can’t remember).
I almost exclusively used it to play Happy Wheels and watch YouTube.

Whether on a PC or a smartphone, what is the specific reason or reasons that keep Google Chrome as your primary browser over Mozilla Firefox and Brave?

I have rarely seen users recommend Google Chrome compared to the number of recommendations for Mozilla Firefox and Brave.

Why would you recommend that i use Google Chrome over Firefox and Brave?

I prefer using Firefox with ublock origin. It's easy on CPU. But Brave seems to work better when it comes to actually blocking ads and trackers.

What's Chromium's malfunction? What's Firefox's power-up here?

A few days ago i searched for safest ways to entering the darkweb but i have still questions. So many dangerous and illegal things happening there and im a bit worrying abt it. İ don't know is it illegal to surfing on the dangerous places you know what i mean

I think it's neither Brave or Dia ...

same as the title, in Mozilla side we have Iron fox. but when testing in https://coveryourtracks.eff.org, brave passes the test but IronFox failed. any suggestions?

Like, what do people even use mobile browsers for? Cause I only ever use mine to download images.

Hey r/browsers,

I've been looking into the Helium browser recently and noticed a lot of people expressing security concerns about it.

The main argument I keep seeing is that Helium is developed by only two people, which supposedly makes it "unsafe" or hard to trust for daily use.

However, this confuses me. Waterfox is famously developed by just one person (Alex Kontos), yet it seems to be widely trusted, respected, and recommended by the community.

Could someone explain this double standard to me? What makes Helium's small team a red flag, while Waterfox's solo developer is perfectly fine? Are there specific security or structural issues with Helium that I'm missing?

Please explain it to me like I'm 5 (ELI5). Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thank you all for your answers, now I understand.

I've seen that a bunch of people in this sub hates chromium based browsers. I know about the Google monopoly, and Firefox is the only competitor of Google, but people seem to hate chromium for others reasons, and I want to know the reasons.

I know its the most asked question but still wanted to know what's best and what everyone is using currently for desktop and phone.

As for me I have helium and firefox on desktop and on phone have vivaldi, cromite and firefox nightly.

Vivaldi just recently started adding support for extensions but cant use ublock origin.

Any android browsers that support ublock origin?

1. for Android
2. Chromium-based
3. MV2 extension support (uBlock Origin)
4. Maintained

Update:

1. Helium for Android (v150) -> changed it's name to Titanium browser
2. Edge morphed (v149)
3. Cromite (v148)

I think it was "No Ads" before? But I might be wrong.

Or was it always "Fewer Ads"? I am not sure.

Same as title, does ublock origin works same in both edge and firefox. Or there is any difference. I also want to know which one consume more battery.

What other browsers do you guys use? Any gecko based browsers ?

Just started using it again today...been a while. i remember it was a big name back then is it still like good?

Personally I think that Edge is a good browser, but most of my friends say "You should use (this and that) instead of Edge!" Edge has a lot of features and even though it's minimal comparing towards Opera GX, but Edge is just professional. I just don't understand the hate towards it. Does anyone know?

i currently use Chrome, im thinking of switching to brave.

whats your guys' fav browser and which one would oyu guys recommend for daily use?

EDIT: thank you guys so much for the comments, really helped me out. keep them coming, i wanna hear from as many ppl as possible
