What is your default web browser for 2026?

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

I'm using Firefox on Linux, Edge on macOS on my private laptops; on my work laptop, Edge is only an option for a small number of whitelisted websites. For everything else, you have to use Firefox.

Firefox, through and through. Brave for checking a website from a Chromium browser.

[Steven P. Administrators]

I use Chrome for work (with a Workspace profile), and a mix of Chrome and Firefox for everything else.

Edge can go to hell 😛

On my Windows box at home: Edge

At work: Edge

On my Fedora laptop: Google Chrome

But now that I have realised that Firefox has vertical tabs support, that may start changing!

[SnoopZ]

Vivaldi on PC and Mobile and it simply looks and works awesome, none of this monstrosity of Chrome and I've not tried Firefox in donkeys years since they made it look like something out of the Teletubbies, but maybe it's change again.

I just use Edge on all my devices, including my phone. It comes pre-installed with Windows and it's a great browser, so I might as well use it if it's already there, no need to download another one.

I absolutely hate Google Chrome on Android, just because I can't install extensions like Dark Reader, that's a deal-breaker for me. Edge and Firefox both allow certain extensions, but Chrome doesn't for some reason.

I use Floorp (fork of FireFox) for my daily driver, and FireFox ESR for work.

Edge allows uBlock on Android?

Yes, both uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite. I'm using the former, in fact, works great.

Firefox is now my default browser on the desktop and mobile.

It got to the point where it bothered me all the tracking and data collection Microsoft do had become just as invasive as what Google does.

All I could really do to show I disagree is to not use software / services from such companies where possible.

Chrome is my default browser, but I also use Firefox.

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

Firefox at home and on Mobile (love that mobile has addons)
Edge at work because we are required to (Intune tie in configuration)

[Jim K Global Moderator]

Firefox at home.  Edge/Chrome at work.  Edge on mobile...but I'm trying to migrate over to Firefox (just haven't for some reason).

[spacelordmaster]

After trying and testing them all, I find Edge to be the fastest, more feature-rich of them all. It is based on Chrome so it's lightning fast. Way faster than Firefox.

My default browser is Chrome, but I sometimes use Helium as well.

I always use the most leading edge available Firefox as my default on every platform. That's Firefox Nightly on Debian-based Linux, Windows, Android, and macOS. I could also use it on Fedora and openSUSE, but as Firefox Nightly doesn't have a repo for those I just use regular Firefox as updating with a repo is a PITA. At work I use a mix of Firefox Nightly and Edge Canary, with Edge Canary being the default. That's because Edge supports enterprise sites better, especially ones that require Okta, Entra, Oracle Identity Management, etc.

Firefox on my pc and safari on my cell.

[cork1958]

I use Firefox as default on Windows, Linux and Android but I do have a few Chrome based browsers such as Edge, Helium and Brave installed on Windows and Linux. Just started playing with Brave a few days ago.

I like playing with an assortment of browsers.

Firefox

[Xenon]

Brave on windows and firefox on mint.

[+Eternal Tempest MVC]

Firefox at Home.

Mainly Firefox / Safari at work (on macOS), occasionally edge.
I use edge to sync my work bookmarks to keep separate from everything else. 
The free version of the adguard browser extension works quite well enough at work.

Vivaldi ftw, as an old Opera user I've been using it everywhere since the very first preview. My only wish is I could use it at work, but alas, no luck so far. The only allowed options are Chrome or Edge, and while I hate Chrome with a passion and I would much rather use Edge than Chrome, the company policy limits Edge customizations a lot more than it limits Chrome for some reason, and some of those are things I just can't live without, so I have to suffer with Chrome where even tab switching is a pain...

[Skyfrog]

Firefox, and Vivaldi for the rare instances I need a Chrome based browser for a particular site.
