A couple years ago I switched (from Chrome) to Firefox as main option for personal use (and, more recently, Firefox Nightly on mobile). I can say that, despite some quirks, I am happy with the browser and the general Mozilla products ecosystem (often the true differential).
The features I use the most are sync (mostly because of some settings and extensions as I am lazy to configure it manually), Bookmark Tags and Firefox Multi-Account Containers
I sometime try other (available for Linux) browsers from time to time but recently decided to o have a second option ready to go because, never knows :)
I did the homework and found the almost one year old What is your Favorite Browser? (among a few more resources), but I'd like to ask:
what is your current browser for personal use? Can you point pro and cons out?

Brave on smartphone, Firefox on PC. Brave is amazing against ads, while Firefox enables synchronization of bookmarks.
Thank you for your reply. One of the reasons that I do not prefer Brave is the lack of in-depth sync... not sure if it is still the case.
Sync has been broken for a while. They tried fixing it recently. I think Mobile needs to be updated to catch up with Desktop before it starts working properly again though...maybe. It's only the newest version of the Desktop browser that had a notification to try setting up Sync again.
I use Brave for desktop and mobile. A couple of sites don't work properly if you don't stop shields, but other than that it's the perfect browser for me.
I don't care about bookmark sync. I never check my bookmarks to be honest. If I find something really important I put it to use right away or store it in Notion.
Can you expand the
where to put my stuffconcept?Thank you, I actually did overlook the
Web Panelsfeature. Seems to me that the dials implementation in Firefox is more flexible (I can be missing something on Vivaldi side), but panels are very neat. If you have more tips/hints to share, please do it :)Brave and Tor on mobile
Firefox, Brave and Tor on PC.
My browser of choice is firefox! The reason being that I don't like being tracked by google (maybe overblown because they get my data anyways)
The name is cooler, I mean, its FIRE FOX vs chrome, like who likes chrome anyway.
Also, chrome takes up way too much ram and I like my ram being spent on other programs
I use mainly firefox for personal work and school. It is good for web development because of the great developer tools it has, and there is lots of features that don't exist in Chrome or other browser. In mobile, I sometimes like to use Firefox-based browser called Firefox Focus, it prevents sites tracking you or collecting data.
On which OS do you use it (desktop version)?
Forcing my self to use firefox due some people recomended it to front end developer, but this month i back to google chrome, what i love in google chrome is built in translate, i can translate easily just by block the "word" , and the killer feature is syncing history and bookmark between my android chrome and desktop
How that translation feature works? I guess is different from translating the whole page. Yes, Google sync is handy even if not infallible.By the way, what did you miss about Firefox sync?
Opera on Android Till Mozilla fixes social media sign in on beta and nightly Firefox.
Firefox for devs on PC
I've been a Firefox user since 0.5 or something. Before that it was the Mozilla suite. And before that Netscape.
