Firefox has a bulky and clunky design over Chrome. I didn't do a comparative test but it felt like Chrome was faster and I've never seen/ tested android compatibility from firefox.
Safari seems to want to control my browsing activity as opposed to allowing me to control my …

I like it because it fits into our eco system, Mac.
on the downside because it is not considered a standard 3rd parties will sometimes not work well with it so we have to use Google.

It's the primary browser of choice for internet browsing and general internet exploration. It's not ideal for programming. I've had several scenarios where I've had to program browser behaviour and I found Edge to be more programmable - of course it stems from the fact that Edge is made by the same company that makes the OS for the devices where I've programmed. But for compatibility across multiple devices, consistency across sessions and user activity, and integration with other Google products - Chrome is unmatched.

  • Not about Chrome per se, but Google search is fast losing relevance and Gemini AI results are useless more than half the time. If search and information gathering moves to other paltforms, then eventually the reasons I open Chrome will reduce

it is my go to browser product. It is pretty intuitive, response well, I like being able to quickly open up the side menu, to save easily while renaming pages or groups of tabs

Ease of use and functionality is unmatched. Some of the functionality reduces on a Macbook, for example, when I can't use the windows shortcut Alt + Tab to switch between windows. I use multiple profiles on Chrome - a personal and a work profile, and Windows makes it very easy to switch between the two. Still, I've been a user for 10+ years, and I see nothing that matches the functionality, integrations across apps and devices, ease of use and the deeply entrenched habits.

Google Chrome is more of a standard for developers so we find input forms or process sites often won't work because they are not optimised for Safari. We have to switch. We found the next tier browsers like Firefox don't fit well to our ecosystem and don't even have them on our system.

Firefox has a clunky update mechanism. Although Firefox was pretty quick, I did not care for the look of it. Opera was not as compatible nor as fast as Google Chrome. Tor is slow but is used only for private browsing as needed.
