    Used FireFox for the longest time. Switched to Chrome about 5 or so years ago. So much better.

    I use Chrome all the time. I tried FireFox for a time and it was okay but I guess anything is better than Internet Explorer.

    I've been using Firefox over chrome for about a year now. I feel they've really upped their game and I'm very happy with their product!

    Guess I'm one of the only people not part of the Chrome mob.

    I use Chrome on my PC and for PC on my phone. Otherwise, for other sites on mobile I prefer Firefox. For some reason PC lags on Firefox for android.

    I use chrome. In the past I used Opera cause I was heavily into GPX+ and a mass clicker. And the site worked best with Opera back then.
    I also used Firefox before that, because I could open a few hundred tabs at once with Greasemonkey and it made mass clicking easier.

    For mobile, I don't use anything since I still use an ancient cell phone from the time before smartphones.

    I used two browsers on the fly, primarily on Firefox because it have many add-ons that I'm looking for, and I tend to use Chrome as well whenever I want to browse on my second screen.

    Firefox, unquestionably. Lots of customization for someone like me who does nothing but rice their OS all the time. Chrome doesn't let me do that as much as I would like to. Firefox also has lots of different forks that I can switch to for whatever reason, so that's nice too.

    Chrome is a lot nicer on Android though, so I use Chrome on my phone.

    Laptop: Been using FireFox for so long not giving up on it. I tried Chrome, didn't catch my attention.

    Phone, not really any browser, I use Tapatalk for my main forum when I'm not home.

    Chrome all the way mainly because of its speed...speed and speed! :P , Used Firefox sometime but i found it slow and memory consuming so i rarely use it. However, I'm using Microsoft Edge on my Windows Phone.

    I looooove Firefox. Unfortunately, I use Chrome. I screwed up Firefox for some reason... and nothing I have tried so far has fixed it either. :c As for mobile, I just use Safari basically. As for my iPad, I use one called apollo. It's outdated because the developers stopped for some odd reason. It has ad-block on it, and I had to buy it though. It still works fairly well. :3

    I tried to use Opera on my Android phone and the only way to block ads is to use "data savings" which goes through Opera's servers and it was loading PC so slow. I had to stop using it and just deal with ads in Chrome. :( I might try FF again but Chrome renders it so beautifully...

    Firefox is my preferred browser on Windows PCs with more than 1.5 GHz of processor clock speed. Chrome is my preferred browser on Android. I prefer them because they have the superior UIs for their platforms as far as my preferences go, as I can totally customize the icon placement on Firefox on PCs, while Chrome's mobile browser interface is leaps and bounds ahead of its competition.

    Also, I use browsers heavily enough that I've induced problems in most browsers I use at some point or another.

    Firefox until version 3. Then Opera until around a year after version 11's release; I kept v10.6 due to loathing the GUI rework and disagreeing with Opera's (the company's) principles going forward, but it was becoming increasingly incompatible with websites. Now Firefox again, which I've since found to be highly configurable and nowadays as 'fully featured' as Opera was, so among other things I can maintain a classic Windows 2000 style function-over-form GUI and have multiple instances of the program running. Chrome is a travesty by comparison, or was when I tried it, and I 'distrust' Google, insofar as one has any measure of trust in or respect for a corporation. I don't care about speed or memory footprint.
