Hey 👋 Pablo from SigmaOS. We are a new browser that had a great launch in August. Was just looking to understand what the Product Hunt crowd’s most used browser is and why 😊

I've used Edge, Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Safari recently. I'm sticking with MS Edge mainly because I have Surface devices, which synchronise across all my devices. Uses less battery and resources than all other browsers.

Brave - because of the ad blocker.

Brave on mobile. Not sure why I'm still on it though, my wallet always seems broken.

I'm using Brave, it's really similar to chrome just with a built-in adblocker and it has more innovative in my opinion. They got ads where you get paid with crypto and their own wallet, etc. You can choose to use browse with Tor as well.

@james_tedy I like the browser, but the cost you pay by using it is the inaccuracy of the search results. There is a cost to having less privacy though.

@nir_v Haven't really use google for a while (using DuckDuckGo recently), but my search results seems to show me relevant answer. But again, I haven't used Google for a while so it might be a bias.

Mainly chrome - adblocker is nice to have installed and I've been using it for so long it feels second nature to my workflow/life.

Heavily used Chrome in the past but slowly migrating to Safari.
Connor Jewiss
Safari for the design and simplicity, which make browsing easier. It also plugs in nicely with the Apple ecosystem for hand-off and the iCloud password manager, which I regularly use.

Hey Hi Pablo! I am using Chrome - just because it was the first one I have ever used 1 billion years ago, and I just got used and stuck with it.. :D ^_^ I would be happy to try and support the new one! Waiting for it! *_* Good luck with preparations! ^_^

@maria_brm Well if you dont have any strong affinity for it and have a mac would love for you to check out sigmaos instead :) Anything you don’t like about chrome or wish it could do?
Maria
@pablo_fatas Frankly, I would like less bugs when I open 1billion tabs hahahahha :DDD Well I do not have Mac actually, but I will be happy to recommend to whom have it, and also to use an opportunity to try it out on others' computers :D ^_^

We use Chrome, Firefox and Opera mainly for website testing.

Hello, I use chrome. I like chrome because it syncs between my computer and phone. It also has ad blocker and LastPass.

Chrome, seems safer compared to other browsers.

Safari, because it's superfast on M1 mac and relatively good in terms of privacy.

I use Safari on e-commerce websites, as it has native support for Apple Pay. I use it to test software compatibility as well. Other than that, I use 2 profiles on my chrome, so I can swap between the personal and company profile.

I am using Opera for around 3 years now. Mainly, its due to the inbuilt ads blocking feature and VPN. Now I am used to it.
Ujjawal Sharma
Chrome, thanks to its developer-friendly design as well as the quick software support.

Chrome. I love the huge variety of extensions it offers and it's quite fast and doesn't lag too much unless I open a million tabs. I moved from Safari and I like Chrome much more. Btw, we’re launching in late April or the start of May. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff... Our project is called: Effecto. It’s an app for detailed health tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.

I use Chrome and Safari, I have no idea why I use both, but that's where I've ended up haha.
I use Google Chrome due to its syncing across devices, plus it is fast and reliable.
Nicole Ogloza
google chrome. I love Ad blocker plus. switch doesn't make sense with most websites to other browsers and systems, sine they work best with Chrome.
