I have been using Edge on a new Win10 laptop that I'm more and more impressed with as time goes on. It's VERY fast and actually reminds me of how FF and Chrome used to be before they became bloated.

generally - Firefox (since it debuted in 2002) which works great for me, and has all along.

and I work it hard, often with a boatload of tabs open for hours or days (20/30/50+).

every so often, in those conditions, it will trip out and hog a bunch of RAM and get choked up, but even then I just shut it down and open it back up a minute later and it fixes itself.

beyond a scant few examples that demanded IE, I haven't used it since Firefox came out.

although, I do use Chrome on my phone as it seems to work better than FF in that scenario.

Chrome for most stuff.
Next choice is FF, unless IE11 or Edge is required by the site.

I don't use a PC, but I use 64-bit Firefox 90% of the time. A couple websites run better on Safari, but they aren't every day websites.

Firefox was getting bloated a couple years ago so I tried Opera and Chrome. Didn't like either one, and Firefox removed the bloat.

I'm a long time user of Firefox, currently using the 64 bit version. I like how it looks and works the same across different operating systems. I have Windoze, Mac, and Linux computers at home so Firefox simplifies browser setup and usage. The uBlock Origin plugin works great at removing ads, limiting tracking and allows you to block those annoying Javascript overlays. Using Duck Duck Go as a default search engine also helps keep Google and other big data leaching to a minimum.

Chrome most of the time, but I'll switch to Firefox or Edge periodically. All of them have moments where they shine and moments where they slow down, but Chrome has treated me the best overall.

Firefox is my default browser, but I've been testing out Brave occasionally. It seems pretty fast and stable.

Have used Firefox for years but in the past 6 mos or so switched over to SlimJet.
SlimJet is based upon the open source Chromium browser and is (hopefully) not bastardized by Google.

I also am hooked on Firefox.
I'm especially fond of their wide choice of options and subprograms.

One of my favorites is the 'self-destructing cookies'. Some websites insist on cookies. We say okay, but they self-destruct as soon as you leave the site.

I use mostly Firefox. It seems whenever I log into SigForum on Firefox, I get a warning that the connection is not secure, login's could be compromised. I don't get that with Chrome.
