Just curious.
I started with Chrome and added Edge later, I just use Chrome. It is difficult to teach an old dog new tricks.

I use Firefox.
Chrome at work, edge at home
Firefox.
Programs that self-install and assert themselves as the default program are no better than viruses IMO...
I use the Brave browser.
Both. Mostly Chrome for Mac at home but both Chrome and Edge at work with a PC. It depends. Most of our web based apps at work run better on Edge.
Chrome on both PC and Android phone.
I enjoy the ease of how they work together.
Probably death on any kind of security - but - it's still really convenient.
Chrome. Every once in a while Firefox, as weirdly there are a few sites that don't seem to work correctly on Chrome and freeze.
My wife works with patient-facing electronic health record software. Because of this, she has access to extremely detailed statistics as far as what browsers the “average person” (being the random person who checks in for a doctor’s appointment) uses. According to her, it’s primarily Chrome. Firefox is in the minority and decreasing, from what she sees.

Chrome on my PC.
Hasn't changed...Chrome is my go-to across multiple devices and operating systems.
Firefox and then chrome when something won't work on FF. After fifteen minutes consulting customer service, I found out that my local water utility on line bill pay will only work on Chrome. I agree with Kev's post #4 on not liking programs that self install as defaults. A friend's new microsoft laptop defaults to edge and there's apparently no way to change the default to anything else.
No, and requiring either means the websites programmer needs to learn what they're doing.
I've used many. Firefox for the last several years. I keep others around for when I run into a site that's poorly done or doesn't stay current and "needs" another browser. Ah, I just noticed Mike shares my thoughts on the current herd of programmers out there. I am never sure if it is inexperience, bad QA, or just laziness but you see some weird stuff out there :D:D:D
I'm a little bit curious about the decrease in Firefox numbers. There's something called user switcher agent. It identifies one browser as another to connected devices. It was a big thing when Internet Explorer ruled the roost. A site wouldn't work correctly if it wasn't connected to Internet Explorer. There became a Firefox add-on that identified Firefox as Internet Explorer to connecting devices. The web site in question worked fine with Firefox but didn't want to if the client browser wasn't Internet Explorer. I wonder if we're seeing the same thing with Google Chrome today. There was a time when Firefox was slow and Chrome was fast on Windows - I never noticed slow on Linux- but today Chrome is reputed to be more of a slug and more resource hungry than Firefox. It also helps to have a couple add-ons in Firefox to limit ads and Javascript. Google makes $ billions slinging ads, do you think they want browsers to limit ads? Particularly one that bears their name?
