Firefox gets ever bigger / slower and its data collection seems dubious.

Which browser would you recommend? And why?

Opera

Firefox is working great here. I definitely won't be switching anytime soon.

I use Chrome and Safari, depending on which device I’m using.
Both seem fine and give me less issues than Firefox, Internet Explorer and Edge.

Some versions had a memory leak issue on some web pages. Try upgrading.

I switched from the new Firefox Quantum after some time back to Opera and after some time again back to Chrome

Chrome causes IMO the fewest problems.

I used to be a heavy Opera user for ages when it was still it's own browser.
The new management crippled the initial chromium based version to death, and even though that seems to get better as I hear, they lost me as a user with the crap they put out initially.

Firefox, even with the latest Quantum updates is okay, but not very inspired or inspiring as a browser. I have it installed in parallel, but only use it for some specific pages that seem to need it.

I don't want Chrome installed with Google being such an unpredictable, overinflated entity - you just never know what they will decide to put on your machine in their artificial wisdom/idiocy.

So since the earliest betas I use Vivaldi, which is done by some of the people behind the original Opera, has a lot of very useful features, is built on the Chromium framework but the team is quite aware of what old Opera users do not want. Works great, is fast, can be well customised...

The most trustworthy of the bunch for me.
Highly recommended.

Cheers,

Tom

Another vote for Chrome here. Even though i doubt that the OP would be happy with it, when Firefox's data collection already seems dubious.

Otherwise, if you're a Windows 10 user, Microsoft Edge. Even though it still has bugs, and issues with some websites.

Same here, all the old Firefox extension still work. To me, that's the big draw.

I second Brave, mostly for its built-in ad blocker and tracking protection.

Thank you guys -a fair range and no clear favourite.

If not Firefox then what?
