Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I’d like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don’t want to explain.

    Firefox ever since Quantum which was when it finally became as performant as chrome for my usage again.

    I used to check it out every 1-2 years in the hopes that it improved, and it was never good enough for me, before that.

        How crazy, your comment made me think about how much time I’ve been passionate about computers.

        I never take time into account, I guess that explains why I never remember when I was using Chrome.

      I still notice the difference, especially in a budgeting web app I use, which is what usually eventually drives me back to something like Brave. I prefer Firefox in general though, and have been liking the Pulse browser because vertical tabs without the sidebar are a must for me.

        I don’t actually care about vertical tabs, perfectly happy with them being at the top. My taskbar makes sense to be vertical, I only need icons. But for tabs, I want the title text (besides a few pinned tabs), vertically that takes up way too much space.

        Can’t speak much about some web app performance (which also has a chance of simply being chrome-optimized) as I don’t do much with complex web apps, preferring desktop software.
