What browser do you use?

Tysandr

Bored & was testing a proof-of-concept for Nexus/local-javascript crossover. Surprisingly not too difficult. However, I only use Chrome.

Wondering what people use as their browser to get a feel of what may be the client population. @Tecton probably has the answer for current Nexus users.

The Nexus code that allows this currently if you're interested:

<p>/*</p><p>&nbsp; Subversion v0.01</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;*/</p><p><br></p><p>subv = (function() {</p><p>&nbsp;var log&nbsp; = console.log</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;var root = 'file:///bla/bla/bla'</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;// https://stackoverflow.com/a/10612311</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;root = 'chrome-extension://cffbdnelaahmhckckpgmdjjfekonhojn/subv.main.js'</p><p>&nbsp;var c&nbsp; &nbsp; = {}</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;var exy&nbsp; = function(what) { if (typeof what != 'undefined') { return true }; return false }</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;var init = function() {</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;// enslave Nexus</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;if (exy(Nexus)) { subv.c = Nexus; c = subv.c }</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;// inject external</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;inject(root, 'script')</p><p>&nbsp;}</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;var inject = function(datum, type, cb) {</p><p>&nbsp; if (type == 'script') {</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; var elem = document.createElement('script')</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; elem.src = datum</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; elem.onload = function() { log('Completed loading.') }</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; head.appendChild(elem)</p><p>&nbsp; }</p><p>&nbsp; if (type == 'css') {</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; $('body').append('<div class="subv-rule">&shy;<style>' + rule + '</style></div>')</p><p>&nbsp; }</p><p>&nbsp;}</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;return {</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;c&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: c,</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;init&nbsp; : init,</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;inject: inject,</p><p>&nbsp;}</p><p>})()</p><p><br></p><p>subv.init()</p>

I've never seen another reason to use anything other than Chrome.

Sobriquet

Tor. Although it' Firefox in reality. Chrome for everything else.

Firefox ordinarily. Been testing out Brave with friends recently, though. Seems to be pretty good so far.

I don't like the sheer number of processes that Chrome spawns, so don't use it on my tablet. Edge came preinstalled with Windows 10 and does what I need.

Zekeros

I use opera because chrome used to slow my computer down too much

Can't edit post now, but yeah... Noticing a significant performance improvement over both Firefox and Chrome, having used them both on this computer before... Seems to run pretty nicely on my phone and tablet, too. Even on gif/image-heavy sites/page.

Don't think I'll be going back.

I use Chrome, Firefox, and TOR depending on the task. Internet Explorer only exists when people only optimize their testware/courseware with Internet Explorer.

Interesting, will look at it.

I use Vivaldi when I have to run Nexus.

Firefox for me. I was using Chrome at one point, but I had a bad experience with it. It felt like a whole bunch of processes running, some of them wouldn't even shut down properly. So after a couple of days of coming home to discover my computer was still running in a hot room in a tropical climate, I decided to go back to Firefox.

Rom

I used Chrome for a little while when it came out and was excellent, but I switched back after a while since it feels like it’s just gotten worse as firefox has gotten better. I like chrome better on underpowered machines like my laptop though. My little brother has been testing brave and likes it so I may give it a try.

Ailea

I mostly use Chrome; however, there are some times when applications/systems run better in another browser so I will switch to whatever platform is best, depending on what I'm doing. 

Shirszae

I use Opera. 

Aralaya

I used Chrome. I was gonna switch to FireFox because on my old potato processor opening chrome would have it sit there at 100% for a few minutes while it came up. After I got my new processor tho it only takes up ~10% which I'm good with, so I'm sticking with it due to sheer laziness

Chubbs

Firefox on my end. Used to use chrome but too much stuff. So I moved to a derivative of it. Same issues. Now on firefox!

Sena

On desktop I mostly use Pale Moon, with Chrome just for access to certain browser extensions (Enhanced Steam, for example). On Android, I've tried a lot of browsers but I've never found one I really like, I'm using Firefox for now but I'm not really satisfied with it.

Kresslack

I use Chrome at home, and FF at work. I've been meaning to switch to FF for everything since Chrome is a greedy memory goblin, but I keep forgetting (or being lazy and just not doing it).
