I tried Chrome and still have it installed, but only use it if I can't get a page to load in Firefox. I've been using FF since it was Netscape in the 90s except for a period of about 6 months WAY back when one of the updates was crap. I've tried Chrome, Opera, etc.... I always end up back on FF.

WHen I was running Windows, I used 1 Firefox, 2 Chrome, and would lastly try MSIE if everything else failed. Now I'm on MacOS and not much has changed, 1 Firefox, 2 Chrome, and if all else fails Safari.

I do a few things that may make browsing a little less user friendly, but faster and safer. I have Pi-hole (DNS blocker for tracking, junk, ads), and I run extensions uBlock Origin and No Script to block anything that sneaks past Pi-hole. That means that I occasionally have to make tweaks to get a page to work.

Firefox for the win!
