What internet browser do you use?


I have always been fairly content with Google Chrome - it does what I need it to do but it is far from perfect! The biggest thing I hate is that Google is one of the biggest companies in the world and who knows what kind of data they are collecting on me. I am open to change.

I have read alot recently about Brave browser, so have downloaded it and had a play. The interface is fairly familiar, but I like it that they do all they can to block and not show advertising. It will be interesting to see if this becomes my default over the coming weeks and months.


  • Google Chrome

  • Internet Explorer

  • Microsoft Edge

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Opera

  • Safari

  • Brave

  • Other (please specify)

Nowadays I am mostly using Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
I am currently using Adblock Plus to block the advertisements.
You don't need to use Brave browser to block the advertisements.
Adblock Plus is available on multiple browsers.
I am currently using it with Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (32-bit).

I've been using Safari and Firefox for quite sometime. I like them both, but Firefox is good at some things while Safari is better at others. It's interesting how if one has some kind of formatting issue, the other won't. I like the printing options better on Safari, but Firefox tends to be less of a resource hog. Mostly, but it can have its issues, too.

I've also been trying Brave now for a few months. I'm using it now to block the ads on Steemit while they experiment with placing them in every conceivable place. :)

I've used every browser listed except for opera and edge. It's been a long time since explorer, so I don't know if there were any improvements made to it or not after I stopped using it, but it always seemed to have issues, and Chrome has always caused my laptop to run hot. That might be because Google and Apple haven't always played nice together, but it's also an older laptop and it's been getting tired now for a year or two. :)
