What's Your Preferred Browser?

[LarryJoe33]

So I have been using it exclusively since I started this thread. Today I found one site that doesn't work - the My Xfinity site. The menu bar at the top does not display. The one where you select TV, Internet, Phone from the top. It has to be a flash thing. Works properly in Chrome. I tested out a bunch of other heavy flash sites and they seem to work.

The only thing that sucks is that this beta Safari really sucks up the CPU for no reason. I am looking forward to the "lean" characteristics of Safari once it's stable.

My preferred browser currently is Vivaldi. I used to use Firefox exclusively, but wanted to try another browser and Safari, to me, sucks. Vivaldi is based on Chromium so it can use Chrome extensions, but without Google watching.

Firefox. It sports decent features right out of the box with support for more extensions than you can shake a stick at. It's free and open source, which is always a plus. Finally, I consider NoScript a must. It runs it, Safari doesn't.

If Safari ran NoScript, I'd use Safari. I like the clean design, quick performance, and efficient battery life it brings to the table.

I use Safari the most through force of habit, battery and cross device integration (all Apple). However, all seem to work very well. I have reservations about privacy with Chrome on principle rather than in any specific way.

Opera deserves recognition for the many innovative features and great performance it offers. It probably deserves to be a market leader as it is high quality, very fast, light on data and battery, available on all devices and has built in free VPN and other privacy features. It is a very good, well written browser with minimum bloat.
