What web browser do you use for web development? And for privacy? And for performance?

[alternadiv]

I use macOS so I use Safari for the ecosystem integration, performance, and privacy. But for web dev stuff, the web inspector isn't my favorite.

I like experimenting with other browsers while designing sites. Firefox is usually my side-piece to Safari but it's been slow lately. I have most macOS options installed but they all seem to suck in their own way, especially because of bloat.

When you are designing sites and working with web inspector, viewports, etc, what is your preferred browser?

Bonus:
Do you prefer something else for privacy?
Which feels the fastest to you?

Right.

So the title of the poll asks for a specific, i.e. single, browser.

Yet multiple choices are permitted.

The title of the poll asks for a browser(s)* for a specific purpose, i.e. web development.

*The (s), i.e. multiple browsers, is implied by allowing multiple choices. Some people might use more than one browser for the specific purpose mentioned in the title of the poll (web development).

Desktop:
Chromium for internet stuff. Chrome and Firefox for fun.

Phone:
I use my phone mostly for fun and I'm starting to love Brave. Chrome used to be my go-to, but I didn't like how aggressive YouTube got with the ads. The ads I got to see were either super annoying or straight up scams. Here are two of them:

I've seen more scam videos, but these two stand out to me. I urge you to watch them. The people who produced these videos had decent budgets. The videos are pretty funny too. Just don't send them your monies lol
