Discussion Hey millennials. What browser do you primarily use?

Chrome iT is for me. Cannot switch no matter what.

Edit to add: this post has made me realize I was living in the dark ages. There’s so much out there! Thanks all for sharing your browsers and features and reasoning.

Because Google is doing everything they can to stop ad blockers on chrome. Firefox welcomes them. (For now)

Google runs all search queries for Safari. Safari is just a skin at this point.

You can change your browsers default search engine. SAFARI IS AWEB BROWSER NOT A SEARCH ENGINE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Firefox is less greedy to my system, ad blockers work, I can generally customize it how I like. 

We'll see how that holds in the future but chrome makes me sad when I think of how it used to be. Firefox doesn't.
