who here uses 5 or more browsers on a regular-ish basis for reasons other than webdev?

>firefox
main browser with classic theme restorer, HTTPS everywhere, NoScript, uBlock, Stylish, etc.
>chrome
google's proprietary build for sites that need a modern flash player
>surf
when i just need to open one page quickly and don't want to add to my firefox perpetually open tab list. also for keeping a minimal google translate window when doing work
>midori
at some point i started opening articles i had to translate in there, so now i just keep all those tabs saved there so that they are separate from my firefox tabs
>lynx/links
mostly for reading e-texts that use the same nav/formatting that has been used for 30 years

too much?
>>
I just use chrome, I would use some other browser but I don't like any of them. Yandex is cool but they don't have a linux browser yet. I do have Yandex browser on my android phone though
>>
Linux beta, desu ka? The automatic layout correction sounds like a neato фичa but I use phonetic and most of the time google transliterates it correctly
>>
Now just build a browser wrapper of sorts that can have tabs of any browser.

Not 5 but 3 on a regular basis: Firefox, Chromium and Midori. I usually use Firefox, but I use Chromium when I need to upload a folder to Google Drive and Midori when I think I'm using to much system resources

Only Firefox here. Don't need anything else.
>>
Interesting workflow, I use Firefox for almost everything but keep Chrome installed for stuff that doesn't work in FF. It's probably my plugins but Google Translate in FF breaks the layout for a lot of sites for example.
>>
>>53643515
Firefox for everything and Chrome for social media as botnet already know everything about me there.
>>
Chrome for typical browsing tasks.

Lynx for various academic stuff that I need to be from a .edu domain to access because I don't have to do it enough to bother configuring the VPN.

Edge to view PDFs, because it's really fucking fast.
>>
Opera for normal browsing, Firefox for things that require Flash
>>
I use my webdev browsers for privacy purposes. (I know about fingerprinting and IP tracking, but I'm weird like that).
Google Chrome
>> Normal activities
Chrome Canary
>> Messing with websites that use the new features (all flags enabled)
Firefox/Waterfox
>> Email (Google is integrated with too many things)
>> Until I figure out how to force Waterfox to be stop thinking it's open when Firefox is open, these are together
Firefox Developer and Nightly
>> Similar purposes to Firefox, but the dark theme is much better
Opera
>> My other mail
Vivaldi
>> Browsing 4chan and the like
Lynx/Links/ELinks
>> Browsing on a physical terminal like https://drewdevault.com/2016/03/22/Integrating-a-VT220-into-my-life.html

Note: Yes, I do have lots of tabs, and I know about Mutt.
>>
I just use Nightly, it satisfies all my needs.
>>
>>53643515
such a normal enduser post except /g/ified...

"all my tabs are in chrome so i use firefox for this other stuff"

i just use firefox/torbrowser except non-GUI is lynx
>>
SeaMonkey for google shit (I.e. YouTube). With flash plugin, it skips commercials by default (shh). Also for googling.

Pale meme for channing, with various plugins as norm, without touching the big tech firms (fb, goog, reddit, etc)

Firefox for work stuff (need IE compatible sites), webmail, incognito window for pron

Firefox for
