Which Browser are you using - 2025 edition

[neutrino17]

I use Safari. I don’t think I’ve seen a case where it didn’t work for me. I have a Windows PC connected to a machine I use. I rarely use a browser on it but I think it has MS Edge.

I have to say I’m not a power user of any sort.

I've been enjoying Brave for almost a year. The extensions I use frequently seem to perform better than with Safari. I also like the ad blocking function.

I wouldn't touch a Google product with a barge pole.

Do you use Bing?

For this poll, I only checked the browser that I use by far the most, Safari. Too bad we can't see what browsers are in the "Other" category.

Too bad we can't see what browsers are in the "Other" category.

When I created the poll I purposely kept it vague because the volume of non chrome/apple/firefox browsers is just too large.

I asked chatgpt to count up all of the chromium based browsers (both current and inactive) and the count hit 43. Even with just active browsers we're looking at between one to two dozen browsers.

It was better to have people just say what they use after the big three are accounted for

I did cast Safari in the poll, as it's the browser I use at home/for private use.

Now, if the poll allowed multiple choices I could also have picked Firefox or Other, as I have Firefox Developer Edition as the default browser on my work Mac. That's better than Safari for web development, and - most important - is not Chrome...

Safari 95% of the time, only if something doesn't work or youtube ad blocking doesn't work, Brave

Do you use Bing?

there are other options. If you want independent:

-Brave Search
-Mojeek
-yandex

If you want middle men, these use Bing or Google in the background:

DuckDuckGo
Startpage
Ecosia
Qwant
kagi (paid)

It would be helpful if Safari could be configured (like Firefox) to cache only to RAM. I would use it more. Until then, Firefox mostly because of "browser.cache.disk.enable = false", NoScript, and uBlock Origin.

Safari on Mac, Edge on Windows, and Firefox on PopOS (Linux).

Do you use Bing?

Mainly DDG. But then search is a service rather than a product, imo, so more easily managed – via ad-blocker and deleting cookies, etc.

Firefox due to the Livemarks plugin that recreated the original Firefox Live Bookmarks feature. Why other browsers haven't copied thie feature I'll never know!

what is the use of this? having the website never to reload?

DuckDuckGo browser if you care about your privacy.

Brave for the win

I'm currently trying Orion. A lot to like, but also many small issues that are sometimes driving me mad. I'm still waiting/hoping for it to stabalize, otherwise I'll be looking for something else. Before Orion I was using Firefox for a very long time.
