My most use web browser is chrome since I usually checking my webapp responsive on there. And since most of internet users who use my webapp will also use chrome so I want to make sure the responsive on that browser as good as posssible.

For my work, mostly I spent time on Chrome. For personal it used to be Firefox, now I'm using Chrome too but maybe I'll give Firefox another try soon. My phone is using Brave for privacy and remove tracker.

Professionally I keep switching between Chrome and Firefox (currently on Chrome) ony my Mac. Firefox has the source-code viewer, some nifty CSS stuff etc, while most of the services I use work better on Chrome. Unprofessionally I have always used Chrome and will probably continue using it (hence the "being used to" Chrome).

On my iPhone, I use Chrome as well. Never really got used to Safari.

I use Firefox for browsing the web with NoScript, and hardly login to any sites. And then I use Chrome for Facebook, Youtube etc. but not for random sites.
