Firefox has always worked for me.

I have had no issues with Firefox though others will probably recommend Chrome or something else.

Firefox. I've been using it without problems for years.

Chrome on four laptops and one desktop. Works like a charm.

Firefox but all of them have been annoying me for the lack of Adobe support. I hate the built in PDF viewers.

Chrome because of it's minimal UI and java script debugger. I like Edge but I'm a creature of habit and always click on the Chrome icon.

Although over the years I've tried multiple browsers, I've found the refinement from Netscape to Mozilla Firefox browser to handle my needs well. Actually I'm currently using a 64-bit variant of Firefox called Waterfox (https://www.waterfoxproject.org/blog/waterfox-53.0-release-download). Works for me! Smile

I'll admit to keeping my eye on a new browser called Brave developed by the former Mozilla CEO. They're still tweaking things at this point but it looks interesting.

Try SumatraPDF. It's free, compact, and fast, handling all my PDF needs including with Firefox/Waterfox. Check the online reviews.

IE9 on an out of date Windows Vista box, and Firefox. Edge on a Win10 laptop. EI10 on a work laptop, Chrome as well but only because it is used as a diagnostic application for a piece of equipment. Mostly browse the Forum on an old iPad Mini these days so I use Safari the most I guess. And since all of the phones are Android based Chrome on those.

Chrome for home, Firefox for work. That makes it easy to separate sets of bookmarks.

I use linux, not windows or mac. Chrome plays nicer but I don't like all the snooping Google does. I feel safe safer safest with Firefox and that's what I use.

EDIT: Without getting into the nuts and bolts of it, bookmarks and passwords are safer in a Firefox account than a Google Chrome account too IMO. Although of course saving bookmarks and passwords only locally is probably the safest.

Ditto for the reasons stated. Firefox by a long shot.
