Ask HN: Kicking off 2017, what’s your favourite browser?

Recently there’s been several discussions on different web browsers here on HN and after reading the "AdNauseam Banned from the Google Web Store" discussion [1] I wanted to ask you, dear HN community, what’s your favourite browser and why? Would be also interesting to hear if you have a default browser but are rooting for a new up-and-coming-but-not-quite-there-yet browser.

I, for one, am always on a looking for new browsers to try out. Currently using Firefox (for FB, Linkedin and Gmail), Chrome for Youtube and Safari for everything else [2].

In addition to usual suspects such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera I’m listing here a few alternative browsers from previous HN discussions:

Blisk, a browser for web developers - https://blisk.io/

Ōryōki Web Browser - http://oryoki.io/

A smarter web browser - https://minbrowser.github.io/min/

Brave - a browser from the co-founder of Mozilla Brendan Eich - https://brave.com

Vivaldi by the co-founder Opera - https://vivaldi.com

[2] I like to box different services in separate browsers for privacy and also running VPN and Cookie 5 (slightly paranoid like that).

Firefox, solely for TreeStyleTabs. I really doubt I'll ever switch so long as it's the only browser that has it. The built in PDF viewer is also very nice.

Ill occasionally use Chrome for its better support of Flash websites without having Flash installed.

Tor Browser:

Safari

I use them all, because I have a 1TB Samsung SSD with the Xen hypervisor running on it, which means I can dedicate whole operating systems to specific browsers. Each browser has its own 'unique selling point' and I use each browser according to my needs.

-Firefox for privacy

-Tor Browser Bundle for enhanced privacy

-Brave for micropayments

-Vivaldi for customization/tweaks and reading the news

-Chrome because it's ultra fast

-Microsoft Edge just because I can
