What makes some folks so attached to particular browsers?
Personally, I'm using a mix of Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. While in theory I could just use one of them (which would probably be Firefox), it's kinda like having 3 different super-profiles for a web-browser (where each browser is its own super-profile), so I'm mostly just using all 3 out of laziness.
I don't particularly trust Chrome nor Edge, so I just don't use them for anything important. Not that I'm 100% confident in Firefox, but if I've got to do something important, Firefox is the easy pick. Then I guess I end up favoring Chrome or Edge for everything else, since I don't want to junk up Firefox with nonsense (so Firefox'll remain solid for when it's appropriate). Between Chrome and Edge, I guess I favor Chrome for junk-level tasks since Chrome feels the most separated (being neither used for important stuff like Firefox nor being tied to the OS like Edge).
I get that some folks might have a business-critical app with compatibility-issues limiting their freedom-of-choice when it comes to certain tasks, but outside of such niche cases, what's the big deal?
I'm not sure if I'm agreeing or disagreeing or just providing context, but for me personally it's not about being attached to a particular browser, rather it's about being repulsed by most of them. Edge is user-hostile spyware, Chrome is approximately the same but Google flavored and very very marginally better, I don't trust most Firefox forks to stay on top of security issues, and I don't use a Mac. The result is that my only options really are Firefox, or maybe some of the lesser WebKit browsers. And even then... I'm writing this comment in Firefox, but I don't even particularly like it, it just sucks less than the alternatives.
