what browser engine is your favourite?

[Ashley MLP Fangirl]

I'm curious. obviously in the case of Gecko and Blink it also includes browsers built on top of Firefox or chromium, like Vivaldi or Edge... 

comment what browser specifically

I use chrome on a daily baisis but firefox is also really good same for new edge but webkit just isn’t my thing

[sub68]

I use firefox as a daily browser because it just works and I can do add on easier

I switched to Firefox from Chrome about a month ago. I always knew Google farmed your data but didn't realize how much they did until I found Chrome's appdata folder was 2.5GB of data.

I use Brave,which is based on Chrome.

I've used Google Chrome as my browser since I was little...I pretty much immediately install Google Chrome after installing Windows on my builds.

chrome installs in appdata, and keeps your web cache (you know.. the profile picture of everyone on the forum) in appdata. the size of your local appdata folder says nothing about google's data harvesting addiction. (mostly because that data is on *their* servers, and estimations of a few years ago say google has essentially a copy of the entire internet...)

Edge Dev is what I'm currently using.

 

I find some pages to load faster... and you won't believe how many websites have a feature only available in Chrome (there's more then 1).

Vivaldi user since 2015 and will probably remain so for as long as it's a decent browser.

[Spindel]

Safari on Mac

Firefox otherwise

 

I voted WebKit

 

But to be honest I don’t really have favourite engine as long as it does its job. 
 

But I won’t touch Chrome, aside from eating CPU cycles and RAM it has been clear from the start that it harvests data on the user.

I use both actually. Chrome is 99% what I use mostly, but Firefox has the better video watching experience I find so I use it for watching Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Twitch etc..

Firefox is awful for SSL sites. Literately vanilla firefox will generate "this program is not responding" on banking sites, while chromium browsers don't do it. My guess is that it's probably a threading problem in the SSL library on firefox. I have no plugins or extensions in firefox. Firefox is otherwise less miserable to use than Chrome and Edge for some privacy-aspects.

That literally never happend to me... Since I got my first bank acc about 9 years ago I have always been using FF, chrome just for specific things (like IPVM calculator which work much faster in chrome on less powerful hardware).

I fail to see why I'd care about the specific engine in use, since all the major ones are more-or-less equal in their capabilities. It's the browser around the engine that matters.
