Why limit yourself to one browser?

I use many browsers. Though Chome tends to be my main goto on the desktop for personal stuff mainly because of the good syncing system they set up early and Opera Mobile on the phone (I dropped Chrome here as it seems to be getting worse). IE I save for work on screen presentations so you don't have browser history showing up as you type plus the odd archaic system that demands IE. I use FF for some work areas to keep separate accounts. Also FF still have the best best extensions environment. And Opera for the accounts reason too.

Another browser and possible contender for my main desktop browser is Vivaldi. While not quite there this is still early days. It's being founded by some of the old Opera Browser team. They are trying to rebuild a browser with the old core Opera values and create a power user product. Check it out: https://vivaldi.com/ I'm using this also and keeping a close eye on how it developes.

Also if your browser is bogging you down due to hardware limitation try Opera 12 (old version before the big shift). It's very resource friendly.
