Topic asks all, and I'm just wondering from everyone here on this board since it seems that the "web browsing/loading standards" have really been upped. It looks like Google Chrome is dominating in terms of usage for checking out web sites in general, but once again, I'm just asking to be sure from everyone else here.
Post your responses here, but let's be civil about this as always. I'm out for now; later, all. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've been told that I'm married to Firefox. I refuse to use a google browser or anything related to their whole internet ecosystem. Occasionally if I need another browser it'll be palemoon(a fork of Firefox).

FireFox, although I two-time it with Google Chrome sometimes, (in fact I often have both open at once), for stuff that works better in Chrome than FF, and for stuff where I've got 2 logins.

Firefox, do not think I even have any other browsers usable on my own computers.
Lost all respect for Chrome, after a malicious FF plug-in (never figured out where it was from) tried to keep opening IE, to download and install Chrome. I just kept seeing a blank programme popping up, because there was no IE for it to open. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nichtcrawler X posted... Firefox, do not think I even have any other browsers usable on my own computers. If I'm not mistaken, and with all due respect - that's what made me conclude that the current web sites that are in action right now are thinking the "Internet Explorer" browser is somewhat "dead". They're trying to match it to Google browser loading standards for it to load up at all. ... Copied to Clipboard!

An offshoot of Firefox - a lot of people prefer it but I don't know the ins and outs of why its better in some areas, WaterFox is another offshoot, but I haven't tried that either. https://www.palemoon.org/ --- 3DS Friend Code: 3480-2661-5116 https://www.twitch.tv/ohjoy90 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Never really heard of that "palemoon" browser before; any details in regards to what it's all about?It started as a fork of an older version of Firefox and it's basically just a more lightweight Firefox with less features/clutter and according to wikipedia more emphasis on customization. Apparently it also supports more addons including many that Firefox no longer supports. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Chrome. I used to use Firefox but when I started using more Google products several years ago, I assumed a Google based browser might better interact with the other Google stuff I use.

Firefox. My impressions over the years was that initially firefox was best, then chrome surpassed it for a few years, but now chrome has fallen a bit and firefox is better. I have no idea what leads people to think those things cause I haven't kept up with it, just the opinions I've seen around.

Firefox, mainly because it's the only browser available for Windows that's also available for Android AND capable of running an ad-blocker on both. Chrome for Android can't do ad-blockers, and Samsung Internet Browser can do ad-blockers (using external apps) but isn't available under Windows.

I don't believe any of the mainstream browsers have memory leak problems, and if they do then it's probably because of running scripts and addons, not the browsers themselves. It's hard to believe that an open source browser like firefox could have a memory leak for decades when the code causing the leak could be easily tracked and patched.
