    Chrome on my desktop and laptop, then Safari on my iPad and phone. I used to use Firefox but it suddenly started locking up on me and loading really slowly.

    I am finding it interesting to see most people use Chrome which I used to use all the time but at sometime a site I frequented did not work well with Chrome so I changed to Firefox which lately I am finding very slow so I may change back to Chrome.

    I always loved Chrome and used it for many years but with their more recent updates, they have taken away things that were why I loved it. And, it was a real memory hog at times which caused it to stop working. I really wasn't keen on switching to Edge but having used it for a couple months now, I am finding that it isn't so bad. No browser is perfect though and different ones will work for different people.

    I do still use Chrome on my tablet and I don't even get on the internet on my Kindle because of the browser!

    I used Firefox for years and then it became a huge memory hog when multiple tabs were open. My old computer should could not handle it. So I switched to Chrome.

    Edge is built on the open source code that Chrome uses, but with Microsoft branding. You can even add Chrome add-ons into Edge.

    After so many saying they use Chrome I am now back to using it and it is definitely quicker that Mozilla Firefox. I already had been using it some years ago so I did a big tidy up of all the bookmarks I had on it and added some new ones.
    I am so happy I posted this poll.

    Thank you all for responding and sharing as you have done.

    i went from chrome from firefox several years back too for all the reasons everyone mentioned, especially the 'across devices' thing - i'll have to look into the Great Suspender as well!
    i do use 'One Tab' extension, it describes itself as:
    "Save up to 95% memory and reduce tab clutter
    Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once."

    Firefox for life. I still use Chrome, but only for certain things. My PC can handle most anything except when Chrome is being a nuisance.

    I use Firefox currently on my phone & Macbook because I send tabs to either devices easily.

    After reading through the comments though, I feel like trying out Chrome again. Can we send tabs across devices on Chrome as well?
