    Well, I switched to Edge for work with the latest Chrome update (since internal apps were Chromium only), and was pleasantly surprised. It actually let me turn off almost all the junk, and is responsive in a way I haven’t seen in a Chromium browser in years.

    Safari and Firefox for personal use though, and nothing compelling to make me change that.

      The performance is pretty on-par with other major browsers now, but it is the obscene amount of popups built into the browser that irritates me.

      its based off of chromium, so one would expect it to be as fast as most modern browsers.

      its the annoyances built on top of them, and user privacy that matters in a browser nowadays

      Same, I’m only allowed to use either Chrome or Edge on my work laptop, so I chose Edge.

      Librewolf on my personal laptop and Firefox on mobile tho.

        Bonus for Librewolf!

        I love Firefox… But the listicle ads are seriously tacky and annoying. I do not want Pocket. And I do not want Pocket randomly re-enabled after a set of updates.
