I thought of just making a poll but thought id just ask.
I am old school tech guy, from way back as in BBS and 1200baud dial ups
and earlier. Also was a security software consultant for decades. Anyways I know allot about how everything works. But the internet is a fickle mistress and why others may use one thing. Some use another. ( excluding Mac and smartphones simply looking at PC) So what Browser do you use and why?
1.
I have always liked Firefox and Cyberfox for browsing and the attachments seem better and more control over security and script and malware blocks.
But on NWFA I find Firefox more stable then Chrome but slower then Chrome. Should be noted Cyberfox may be on the chopping block soon.
2.
Chrome, in wake of the dark web reporting the amount of up for sale Google information, I have really steered away from Chrome except for some specific items and duties. Recently it appears undocumented algorithms were changed by Chrome( Google) bringing up even more concerns.
Notes
Opera and others fair well but appear slower and not as diverse as the big two.
So rather then just write a book what do you use and why?
As well one can use a VPN service to help block allot of information, but is also what the algorithms and their change may be addressing to by pass the VPN setting limits.
