I've been a long-time Chrome user, but have recently switched over to Firefox. It's going well so far, it seems to be running a bit better on my system.
I used Firefox for a long-time, but then the crashes and slowdowns became unbearable and I switched to Chrome. I heard the latest version of Firefox is pretty good, though. About 6 months ago was I having a lot of problems with Chrome and almost switched, but it seems to work pretty well again.
I can't stand Edge. Has always been really slow and tempermental on my laptop.
Chrome.
Occasionally IE for work purposes.
I don't mind Edge, at least as a developer that has to deal with browser compatibility, as it is an immense improvement over IE. But I'd never use it as my default browser (if I were a regular Windows user).
Chrome, but also have to use IE at times at work smh.

RE: your IE use. Is this due to public contracting work (I think you do something of the sort) or large corporate work? They seem to be the last groups holding on to IE. Which baffles me, because it's an insecure nightmare.
It's vendor portals for me. Huge companies too....Walmart for example. Most of their portals are only accessible with IE.

Yes and the bolded is 100% spot on.
I still have to support IE11 somewhat for work, because about 5% of our traffic on our public site is through that browser (schools, I'm assuming), but I refuse to even look at bugs in IE for personal work.
Firefox user here. Been on the mozilla train for 10+ yrs. I like all the add ones, including pop up/spyware/malware blockers and security alerts.
Firefox mainly.
I use Chrome, but for work I have to use IE. Our system will work on other browsers, but it runs and looks like garbage on them.

Is the system really old?
Firefox for about 10 years. Then it crashed all the time and was just awful. Switched to chrome 6 months ago and haven’t had an issue.

It's not. I have no idea why they do this to me.

So it's a relatively new system that only looks good in IE? The developers of that program are straight up evil.
Firefox and was going to switch due to crashes but their new version seems to be much better so far.
Chrome for me. Tried Firefox, just wasn't a big fan.
I've only found one slight issue with Firefox, and it's that one of the developer tools I used on Chrome is not available. I tried using it for a few weeks a year or so ago and it wasn't good. This attempt is MUCH better.
I use Chrome and have ever since it came out. I tried Firefox in like 2005-2006 and just wasn't a fan.
I do use IE a little at work but only because our ERP.

Same.
Edge. Didn't really feel the need to get anything else when I got my new pc. Never had any problems with it.

But seriously, I use Chrome at home. Work still inflicts IE upon us. Our IT claims Microsoft is a bunch of dumbasses and SharePoint doesn’t work worth a shit on Edge, and we use SharePoint for a ton of shit
Safari

I miss Netscape! Lol, that was the first browser I ever used, when I accidentally learned I could access the Internet at work, when our IT dept finally moved everyone over to a Windows environment sometime in 1994.
Was sad when they removed it and told us to use IE. I loved the little gif in the upper right corner with the spinning planet and comets shooting by every so often.
