    When I decided on Firefox, it was well beyond the other browsers. Today, the competition is catching up but Firefox still seems to be a bit more innovative.

    Chose Mozilla Firefox
    Firefox stands toe to toe with any other web browser on the market. From comparable features and capabilities, there's nothing that my team can't do with Mozilla that we can do with any other leading product. Developer tools, speed, reliability, customization options, add-ins, …

    As noted, Safari is good for accessing email, logging in to our company portal, looking up information, searching for products, and finding videos. One area where Safari is not always up to scratch, though, is that there are a number of websites that run better on Google Chrome than Safari, or that simply do not run at all on Safari. One example is our medical record system, which runs only on Google Chrome. This is a nuisance, because it means I have to have two browser windows open, one of the eUHR and one for the portal.

    Firefox is ideal for users who are tech-proficient and eager to customize their browsing experience to meet exactly their needs. It is best for people who are very contemplative and thoughtful about their experience of using web browsers and want more than an out-of-the-box or clunky experience offered by pre-loaded browsers.

    It's very easy to schedule events where we can set the agenda in advance and add events as tasks so that we can track the progress. It can be integrated with products like tidycal to check booking time, messaging software like MS Teams, Slack and video call software like Zoom for a seamless experience.

    Cons
    Apple
    • Lack of plugins, or plugins that don't seem to work well
    • I hate how Safari displays browser history without timestamps - I need those for tracking my time on timesheets
    • It can be frustrating when I have a pinned tab and I open a new tab and try to go to the same site from my bookmarks and Safari just switches me over to the pinned tab. I often want two tabs with the same website

    It's reliable. Safari provides the same user experience on computer, mobile, and tablet. The search bar is both a google search window and a web address window. Going to "google.com" for a search is not necessary.

    It can do anything I throw at it. It does not slow down. I cannot remember it ever crashing. Updating is super easy. It's colorful enough to find what I need visually. I can customize the look to make it super usable and fast with muscle memory precision. It's by far easier to use than any other browser.

    Vivaldi Browser is great in terms of usability and customization, if you don't like something the way it is by default, there's a good chance that you can tweak to make it work for you

    Safari is better integrated into our tech stack than Chrome. That said, Chrome has better dev features and how a wider selection of 3rd party extensions.

    Mozilla Firefox stacks up very well alongside similar products. There has not been a feature I have needed that a similar product had that was lacking from Mozilla Firefox. The product has been developed very well and updates have been effective at maintaining security. I have been a long-time user of Mozilla Firefox and have no reason to change.

    Since Vivaldi has a calendar built-in in the browser only so it is very efficient to add new events and edit already scheduled events, We can manage multiple calendars as per our needs without added complexity because it has a user-friendly user interface, events can be defined as tasks so that we can track progress on the projects.

    Return on Investment
    Apple
    • This is really hard. I mean, it keeps me productive? But I can't say there is a business ROI difference because I use Safari vs. Chrome. It's just preference.
    • I guess it runs video calls well which are key to my work.
    • Negative: I cannot use to do Bugherd tasks, which are frequent. So I switch to Chrome.
