Chrome or Edge or .....?

Hey guys. I was just wondering what web browsers you use to connect to the Internet. I use Google Chrome, but the recent news about its data collecting are making me a little worried. What do you use?
 

I kept Internet Explorer which I had for years but I only use it to check my email, and all my old Favorites (Bookmarks) are still listed on that browser. But mostly I use Mozilla Firefox and have been happy with it, no problems.

They were pushing for me to use Edge when I bought my last computer that came with Windows 10, but I didn't care for it. I'm not comfortable using any google product either, although I do use it for my general search engine.

Yes! They push Edge so much..
 
I use Edge as my primary browser. I use it mainly for my own stuff, email, Facebook, research and the like. I go to Chrome only when my husband wants me to check his email or FB for him. I am signed in as myself on EDGE and Keep him signed in on Chrome. I do not really like Chrome all that much.
 
I believe Opera is based on Chrome. But, it's not the same thing. I had Windows XP when Firefox announced that it would no longer support it. I suppose eventually they won't work with my Windows 7.

I really liked XP, and so did a lot of other people, from what I hear, but we can't have that can we? If it's too good a product no one will upgrade. I hung onto it until the computer just died, now I am putting up with Windows 10, trying to ignore Edge, and switching between Firefox and Chrome as the mood strikes me. Still miss good old XP.

The latest version of Firefox caused me some problems, so I switched to Opera. I really like it.

I've used Firefox for years, but the latest version caused me some problems, too. There are some websites that won't work for me on Firefox, but do on Chrome. I also have to use Chrome when casting programs to my Roku from YouTube. I can't make that work from Firefox at all.
 
Mozilla Firefox, as is the ONLY one with MENU bar at the top..FILE,EDIT,HISTORY,BOOKMARKS,TOOLS and HELP
 
Mostly Firefox, sometimes Chrome and rarely Explorer. All our computers (my desktop and laptop and hubby's desktop and laptop) have Windows 7. I dread the day when we have to move to 10 (or will it be 11 by then) because I fear some of my business software will be incompatible.

No need to fear that Win 10 has an option "Compatibility Mode" that allows software that worked on previous Windows versions work just fine on Windows 10.
 
I use Safari primarily, because I use all Apple products, and my Macbook comes with Safari already onboard. Chrome is my backup.
 
Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I use Internet Explorer and always have except for the short time early on when I also used Netscape Navigator. Should I be worried?
 
I use Google Chrome but I also have a backup browser just incase there is a issue with Google Chrome.I was told by a computer repair person that it doesn't hurt to have a backup browser.
