Just thought it'd be interesting to listen to others' opinions on browsers. My personal setup is Vivaldi for Articles, Wikipedia, any studies, and Brave for just browsing/doing anything else.
qutebrowser[1], with these settings[2]. It fits my desktop environment perfectly, as I use a tiling window manager and live in the terminal.
I may switch back to Firefox, which is what I use for development, if I ever find the time to customize Firefox to look and feel more like qutebrowser.
Firefox, easy to use and modern. I started using it because I found it hard(Impossible?) to install uBlock on my phone, tried Firefox out and it was super easy to install uBlock that is was forced me to change.
I'll keep that in mind if ABP ever does something stupid, thanks!
Until them, I've learned not to change anything unless there is a very strong reason. It radically cuts down on the amount of confusing surprises.
When I was an IT Administrator, we had Office 2000, and never upgraded, except for the odd plugin to be Office 2007 compatible. Nobody needed training, everything worked as expected. Sure, nobody knew the new flowy ribbon GUI, but nobody cared because they were getting stuff done, and moving on with their life.
I had done my job and successfully absorbed as much uncertainty from their computer use as possible.
I use Chrome. I used to use Opera, until it started showing some websites in a funny way,then used Mozilla,which used as much RAM, as an entire data centre, so eventually I switched to Chrome. It's not ideal, but at least the interface is better than its competitor'. On my phone I use Brave, tried it and quite liked it,so I stuck with it.
i'm the only one that is using Brave?
Privacy and getting paid for all the ads you want to see in crypto, to me haas been a game-changer.

6 weeks ago I have started using the Nyxt Browser and I am really loving it! I even did a video about why Nyxt is so cool last week. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yBjfjFE0fk

I also use Chrome for testing my apps at work though.
I have no smartphone, nor table to worry about.

I prefer Ungoogled Chromium for most tasks but have a lot of legacy stuff in Firefox I go back for from time to time.
