    If you like Chrome check out Yandex Browser, I'm a big fan of it especially on mobile devices.

    Yeah, I used Firefox for a long time, but it got bloated on the RAM front. I don't see that issue now that I'm mostly a Mac user with Chrome, which is my browser of choice. I use Safari as well since I can Airdrop between my phone/tablet/macbook links and such. But yes, Chrome, in my opinion, is the stability and compatibility winner these days. In a couple years or less, that will undoubtedly change.

    I've been on Firefox since the old Netscape was retired and converted.

    Back when Chrome was "OMG small footprint" I attempted to switch, but it lacked an equivalent for NoScript.
    Now I hear RAM issues for both, and it's kind of "eh, why bother?"

    One of the things I can't stand about Chrome is that attempt to sync stuff to my phone browser. On the phone I use Chrome, and it's like "leave me the hell alone with all your stupid 'features', I just want a low footprint browser".

    Literally all I want is a browser with nothing but tabs and a NoScript equivalent. No features, no bells and whistles - just speed, convenience, and security.

    I am going to be unpopular, but Edge is my fav now. Used Firefox and Chrome on and off for years, but after a fresh Windows 10 install alongside the only non-windows device I have is my phone, I wanted to give it a try. Once I switched the theme to dark, I fell in love with it! Just my personal opinion though Tongue Out

    Adster94, I am unpopular, too. I switched for the same reason and quite like it. With the dark theme it is really cool imo and also fast and convenient. Also my phone is a Windows Phone, so it makes even more sense and works quite well. In contrary to some posts, I really like that it syncs different devices. Maybe I am the last happy Windows Phone user at all.

    I love Windows Phone and Windows 10. I've just become addicted to the app selection (yes, there is enough of a difference) on iPhones and I've been rocking this MacBook 2015 for a while. I'm entrenched. Otherwise, I would be Windows all the way for sure!

    That is the closest one to LCARS, right? At least, that was one of the reasons why I got my Windows Phone. But unfortunately you are right about the app selection.

    The solution with Firefox is don't install a load of addons that you don't need! I've never really had a problem, it's easy to use and I make good use of the addons that I need to use, just disable what I don't need.

    I have since making this post switched to FireFox. It's a bit different but I used to be a huge advocate for it before Chrome became huge. I have to admit I'm quite impressed overall. I don't have any extensions with the exception of uBlock Origin. Which I have to say is quite important to have. Other than that I am quite please with it so far.

    As for edge I do like where they are going with it but with the increase in security flaws I fail to find the use in it. But, that is my own opinion of course.

    FireFox is by far my favorite browser, I however had to stop using it due to it constantly crashing, I am on the Chrome team until firefox gets all of its issues out.

    Chrome recently had an update. It’s a lot easier to access and do things. I’m using it for now.
