Which browser to use

I've been using Firefox for a several years but lately it's given me some issues. I'm thinking about changing to either the new Edge browser or Chrome. I'm fairly computer literate but DH needs something easy to navigate. Opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  • Chrome, Firefox, and Internet at home and work. At work add Mac Safari (I'm a web tester, we test with all of them .... and more).

    I personally like Firefox the best. It's the least hassle free. Seems the other 2 wants to do updates all the time and every update means my setting have to be set, and reset, and changed and manipulated again. Firefox just simply works!

    Maybe you should down-load Firefox again and re-install it. Newer versions work pretty well.
  • I just use IE. tried Edge but went back to IE. Works well for me when I use the laptop. But mostly I do most web activity on my iPhone 6 Plus.
  • I used Firefox for many years. Switched to Chrome about 2 or 3 years ago. I don't think either is significantly better than the other.
  • I use Chrome for the most part. IE always tends to drag when loading pages, and I tend not to be very patient.
  • Market share might be a hint. :) I use Chrome on desktop, tablet and phone.



    This one includes desktop, tablet and mobile:

  • I too moved away from Firefox awhile back. I consider Chrome to be user friendly. It ties in nicely with the rest of the Google world, ie Google Maps. It also syncs bookmarks between devices. The only thing I don't like about Chrome is that you can't easily rearrange bookmarks on the iPad.
    I'm not very familiar with Edge other than I recall being annoyed by it's insistence on using Bing as it's default browser. I also believe that Chrome will be around longer than Edge.
  • I like Opera, which uses the Blink web engine (same as Chrome). Firefox uses Gecko. If a poorly written web site doesn't work well with one, it usually works with the other.
  • Shoot, I use 'em all. :) IE for my Hotmail, Firefox for all my browsing, and Chrome for Facebook games. Works well for me.
