Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.

It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.

Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.

Opera gets just 1%.

Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.

The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.

If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.

If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

Thank you for your interesting survey.

Of course, such surveys cannot be representative, but they do show trends.

5027 participants are not exactly a small number.

Perhaps we will be able to recruit even more people from the 'Fediverse' for further surveys. ;-)

At least 'Vivaldi' has caught up with Apple's Safari.
But I would have liked to see a lot more in favour of Vivaldi.

Even if this can only ever be a snapshot.

I confess that I have "mobilised" something for Vivaldi. :tony_laughing:
Maybe it has made a difference.

I would have found it rather stupid if Vivaldi had been left behind Apple's Safari, especially on 'Mastodon'. :tony_smiling:

Further surveys will remain exciting.
