#3 I like firefox but the major problem using firefox is that they have frequent updates and bugs. Using it every now and then, something goes wrong. When you go for support, they say initialise everything, and so you lose your setup and it rarely fixes anything. So about a year ago, I switched to Pale Moon, which is firefox fork. I love it. It's still firefox but its a lot better.

#4 I use Pale Moon but it has serious hiccups with videos and some websites. Always have to have a backup.

#6 Firefox was becoming more problematic as if IE was leaching into its soul. So Chrome became my goto browser but as a backup I chose Arora (I always use Linux at home).

#8 When they switched to gmail where I work I switched to Chrome. Resistance became futile so I assimilated. But face it, except for IE they're all included with that SiliconValley/California lunacy. And IE sucks. I like Pale Moon but, as has been noted, it is glitchy with video.

#9 Who needs infected video and images? Lynx forever - and it comes with a file system browser!

#11 I still use Firefox, with Chrome as fallback. Noscript, UBlock, Ghostery etc. as add ons make the Web a safer place.
