I use two browsers on my PC(running Windows 10 Pro), Microsoft Edge and Vivaldi. I've been leaning towards Vivaldi lately, although Edge is fine. I was attempting to log in to my banking website today and it wouldn't accept my password. I tried using both browsers to no avail. I called customer service and was told they were having trouble with those browsers. It was then recommended I try Firefox instead. So I went ahead and installed it. Sure enough, I logged in without difficulty. It's the first time I couldn't log in with my usual two browsers. I suppose it's only a temporary situation, but I'll keep Firefox for future use if necessary. It's a good idea to have more than one browser, anyway, just in case your usual one gives problems. In my case, I needed a third. :)

I’ve never heard of Vivaldi until your post (not that I go looking for browsers much). If one of your main browsers doesn’t even make the top 10, it kind of doesn’t count when it comes to compatibility with websites as they likely never tested to it. If it continues to gain acceptance it will become more widely supported.https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.phpAs much as I’m not a big fan of The Google, Chrome is now the most widely used and therefore most likely to avoid those kind of issues.

FireFox for years on multi computers with no issues.

Firefox is BY FAR my go to browser. Great product. Hate Edge! IE and Chrome are my #2 browsers.

I'm familiar with Chrome and understand it's a good browser, but have concern over reported privacy issues. I also agree with others on this thread about Firefox. I've used it before and agree that it's good, but I've settled on Edge and Vivaldi. I like to experiment a little. Another browser I like is Brave. To each his own.

Firefox is more concerned for your personal privacy than any other browser that i know of. If there's a better alternative, I'd love to hear about it.

Edge has a lot of problems. Chrome by far is the best as is FireFox.

I have been using Chrome almost exclusively for a long, LONG time !

If I want to test out something with a different browser, I use Firefox.
