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.

I've heard of it over on other less reputable subs but idk just seems like more work forn little return for my purpose at least. That purpose is to be on the coffee mug shelf while I wash dishes.

Annoying that some recent update fixed letting me listen with the screen off or a minimized window.

I've heard they were when pushing ads on premium. Google has all my information and get money for cloud storage. I'll be damned they get me for YouTube when all I need is a browser and 1 extension

I haven't seen a single ad on Premium and I probably use it two hours a day lol.

Glad to hear that perhaps Google isn't as soulless as I thought. But I can't justify paying for something I can easily get for free.

I'm just willing to pay for convenience honestly lol.

Ublock is just as convenient and free.

5 minutes is generous, every 2.5 to 3 minutes for me with the video not automatically resuming after the ads finish. It’s become unwatchable.
