Here are the results of my “What is your favorite browser?” survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.
It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.
Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.
Opera gets just 1%.
Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.
The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.
If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.
If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

Completely legit, this was the reason I switched 5 years ago. Didn’t want a chromium based browser, that will eventually turn off manifest v2.
Luckily forks with workarounds were made, but I got so used to firefox that I see no reason to go back!
