Your Favorite Browser?

Reportedly both Chrome and Firefox top the list as far as popularity goes. When I was using Windows XP years ago I ran both, and was satisfied. Since graduating to Windows 10 I've used Edge and found it satisfactory. It has been greatly improved from its early beginnings according to recent reviews,
However, experimenter that I am, I decided to look into other not so famous browsers. I've recently settled on Brave and have made it my default browser. It appears to be doing everything it advertises, such as blocking trackers and loading websites quickly. I've found nothing not to like. Anyhow, that's my observation. What have been your observations?

    I run Chrome on Chromebooks. Oh there are options I could use but it's clean, fast, shares bookmark and some other things from CB-1 to CB-2 to Phone to Tablet to whatever I log in with. I can take a brand new chromebook out of the box as I tap the power button on my PC and be online browsing with my bookmarks file restored FASTER than the PC Posts... If they catch a virus I can basically do a full Factory Restore (Turn them into brand new) in less time than it took me to type this (Happened 2x so far) .. In short...... I love 'em.
  • I'm using the new beta version of Edge. I like it. It's based on the Chromium platform which means it will accept many of the extensions that run on Chrome. I can use my VPN proxy extension and it runs very smoothly. It has many privacy protecting features and runs circles around the older MS browsers.
    Brave is another good browser. Also based on Chromium. It has a good adblocker built in.
  • I'm so used to FF that I find it hard to jump to a different browser, I'm tried Chrome for a week or so and it just didn't behave as I expected. Tried MS Edge which is now a Chrome clone and pretty much the same thing. Part of the problem is the suite of plugins I use.

    They all seem to be fine use the one you like.
  • still IE but finding more and more sites where it doesn't work. HATE chrome and firefox so maybe edge or the new MS version of chrome. when and if.
