Choose Your Web Browser Well

All Trillium-built public-facing web pages are designed to display well using all major web browsers (those that have significant global market share). However, an optimal user experience matters; so it makes sense to choose your browser intentionally.

Choose a Major Web Browser for Reliability

Currently the major web browsers (based on their global market share) are Chrome (66% of the market), Safari (19%), Edge (4%), and Firefox (3%). Due to trivial market share, all other web browsers should be considered untested/unreliable (because most websites are not tested with browsers that have trivial market share).

Which Browsers We Recommend, and Why

Edge generally doesn't comply with standards well. Chrome may make you re-enter form fields or lose editing work, and may be questionable in terms of privacy and censorship. Safari is fairly good, but not as good as Firefox.

For the most consistent rendering across platforms, best standards compliance, best reliability, and strongest open-source (democratic transparent) ethics of any major browser, we recommend Firefox for all platforms.

Regional Variations

There are some regional variations:

• If you live in Europe or Oceania, and are accessing only local websites, you should be safe using Samsung Internet (3%).
• If you live in Africa, and are accessing only local websites, you should be safe using Opera (12%) or Samsung Internet (4%).
• If you live in South America, and are accessing only local websites, you should be safe using Opera (3%).
• If you live in China, and are accessing only local websites, you should be safe using UC Browser (13%), 360 Safe (9%), or QQ Browser (8%).
• If you live in Russia, and are accessing only local websites, you should be safe using Yandex (16%) or Opera (6%).

But who limits themselves to only local websites? So even in these regions, it is wise to choose a major browser.
