What browser do you use and why do you think it's best? I'm a big Chrome fan, think Safari gets a little bit too much attention

Safari, an open www requires more than one browser.

Chrome is my default, but I have to admit I am liking Edge more and more, especially the fact it consumes a lot less resources. If I couldn't pick a Chromium browser, would definitely go for Firefox.
Ben Sher
@samantha_harris_ I haven't tried Edge properly, just found it frustrating when it was the default browser when I was briefly using a Surface. What do you like more about it (how does it use less resources)?

chrome, just because it's google and syncs with all my other google apps nicely.

@richw 100% - so easy. Also rate Gmail in the browser over native mail app, are you the same?

I have kind of always used multiple browsers - Firefox, Chrome, edge, Brave. Used Sidekick for a while. used SAfari when I had a Mac. Default work browser is firefox. Use the others simultaneously

@kkumarkg Interesting that Firefox takes the cake for you - is there a specific feature that you like?

@ben_sher It started with not wanting everything that I do to be tracked by Google and facebook. The ads were getting unnervingly too close! So, gmail is in a non-chrome browser and facebook is in another. Edge too (and IE before that) has only 3-4 tabs open. Then on I guess it stayed like that. I currently have 106 tabs open in firefox and many have been open for weeks. While it has not always been smooth, it works fine.

@kkumarkg I feel your pain, ads can get way too close to home. We actually just launched Vouch on Product Hunt, would love your feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I've started using Arc recently, and it is fresh - so many nice touches. I'll be sticking with it for some time. https://arc.net/

@ianmc Interesting - what about it puts it ahead of Chrome for you?
@ben_sher It's new and shiny. But seriously, I like the layout with tabs on the sidebar, the fact it clears any tabs I've left open and not moved to the right spot, easels are interesting and make grabbing ideas very easy, Spaces are nice and as someone who uses multiple Chrome profiles, they feel quick and simple to use and switch between. Also there's a whole load of little touches throughout which make it lovely to use. I'll send you an invite!

Might be a little bias here but…. 😅 I genuinely can’t advocate for SigmaOS enough. As someone with ADHD, I easily get taking out of the flow with my work when I’m on other browsers. The fact I can group tabs into workspaces and work through them like tasks on SigmaOS makes me 5x more productive for sure. 🚀 If anyone relates to this, we’ll be launching v1.0 next week so be sure to check out our page and let me know what you think: https://www.producthunt.com/upco... Always on the lookout for more feedback 😁
Ben Sher
@mahyad Love that! Will definitely keep my eyes peeled. We just launched Vouch on Product Hunt so if you have a minute would love to get your feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Chrome. Has great extensions, good dev tools & syncs my accounts pretty well.
Ben Sher
@john_morrison1 Agreed! What's your favourite extension?

@ben_sher I’ve recently started using Grammarly. Even as a native English speaker I find it so helpful
Ben Sher
@john_morrison1 Agreed, Grammarly is super helpful and lightweight. We actually just launched Vouch on Product Hunt, would love if you could support! https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Baselog
Chrome because of the extensions!
Ben Sher
@baselog Agreed! What's your favourite extension?

Chrome while on my laptop, Safari on my phone
Ben Sher
@alessmkl Twins! That's my exact set up - the tabs stack up quickly on safari, love the holding done to remove all tabs feature
Csaba Zajdo

I love very much CHROME. Compare Brokers is a team of qualified professionals that provide advice on how to manage money and assets efficiently.

I love Opera. Opera is smaller and faster than most other browsers, yet it is full- featured. Fast, user-friendly, with keyboard interface, multiple windows, zoom functions, and more. Java and non Java-enabled versions available. Ideal for newcomers to the Internet, school children, handicap and as a front-end for CD-Rom and kiosks.

My go-to-go browser is Brave Browser. I used this because it is an open browser and it'll block all the ads. So that I can browse without any distractions and youtube videos without ads that too without youtube premium. Try it once.

i like all browser but i prefer chrome first.....
Rahul Jain
I would say Chrome. Primarily due to dev tools
