Describe the browser you use during your website (HTML, CSS, JS) development. State any key features of that specific browser. For example, Google Chrome has responsive website testing.
Bash curl ++++ : when browser crashes on site X - you are left with low-level debugging with curl
Chrome +++ : fast,responsive,tested
Chromium ++ : "chrome" without a batteries, which may or may not be enough
Firefox ++ : too big default fonts (which may be a plus for people with vision disabilities)
Opera + : too much bugs (albeit has great potential - integrated VPN + AdBlock + NewsPlugin)
As I know Mozilla is the best choice. What purpose your website will have? If it is some e-commerce website for business than you need to hire professionals. I worked with Light IT company, they created for me website for best deals. Now I want to create also mobile app for it. Here is their website, there you can find reviews from clients and portfolio.
For website development, I would have answered Chrome until a bit ago, however I think that lately Mozilla Firefox is taking the lead in terms of usability, developer experience OOTB and politics. For example, I like how it makes data just look good, even when I directly fetch it from a REST endpoint. Chrome just displays the gibberish.
While I mainly develop with FF, I also use Chrome, because FF still has some rough edges and is missing a few tools. Lighthouse, to name one example, is still one of the best indicators what I should tune for a modern experience. Also, most people in the world use Chrome, so whatever works great on Chrome will work great on 80+% (iirc) of the world's computers. MS Edge going Chromium just pushes this number further up.
All in all, both browsers come with a similar dev experience, so you can go either way. It's a bit standardize nowadays, and even IE and Edge offer the basics (though they are not as snappy) ๐
Other than that, a cross-browser testing strategy is vital, however not something I use for day-to-day development.

As I know according to reviews and statistics Mozilla Firefox provides the best functionality. But Google chrome is also popular. Also many depends on what exactly do you want to create. In my opinion better will be to work in several browsers. By the way if you need some web dev help I recommend to get consultations here .
