Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

why not?

if a site does not work on ff there is a site you can report it too.

also, i have ff with ublock and other stuff that edit the web page, some web pages do not like it, so i fall back to chrome.

my chrome is stock, no extensions, no account, no sync. i only open it for very specific purposes.

But.. I guess the real consideration, is why?

The reality is, the Mozilla CEO gets paid $5million a year. Although, I do respect that she was apparently there since the beginning

What benefit do I get for bug testing their browser? Why wouldn't I just use Chrome (which is also mostly open source anyway), which is fully compatible, and is still faster, and doesn't require me to submit sites on a regular basis?

They do have some interesting ideas, but a $3-$5mil salary for the CEO I feel could hire a lot of developers.

On the privacy front, don't forget that they are paid 500million by Google anyway, for google to be the default browser (same as they do with Apple). So, they have incentive not to step on Googles feet.
