I add Chrome too, but use FF as my main browser.
I've used FF as my main browser for so long... and I tried out Chrome the other day because it was giving me issues on a lot of websites... one example, here on ML. When you click the vertical ... to edit your post, you don't get a drop down and have to use arrow keys. Got so annoying. I tried Chrome, problem solved. Chrome also made everything else much better, even the way it looks in Linux is better, such as the book marks bar and everything.
On Windows I use Edge 99% of the time, no issues.

so you're the guy using Edge.
Will, my users would only use Edge if there wasn't another shortcut made for them to IE or Chrome. /sigh.

Chrome, Atom, Shutter, Inkscape, Telegram.
If I'm on Gnome 3 I install a few extensions: dropdown terminal, dash to dock, caffeine, the screen recorder one (can't remember the name), coverflow, and I turn on applications and places menus.
Used to use Moka icons but switched to Papirus.

Themes look good. Didn't see any Applets, Desklets or whatever that seemed like things that I would want.

I looked at the landing page and decided none of it is interesting.
I am not a theme person really.
I like a changing background, but that is about it.
The rest can rot. Widget are just f***ing stupid.
-
Yeah, things running on my desktop space is really weird. I never look at the desktop.

I like a changing background because I often see parts of it..
Like this (recently rebooted so not much open)
-
Yeah, I see it when the system boots

That usually lasts about 10 seconds for me, lol.

I do not run ANYTHING full screen except my Windows 10 KVM on workspace 2. And that is only a single monitor.
I hate full screen.I stack stuff around. So I always see some piece of the background some place.

I find that I do this more when I'm on a Mac. On Windows, unless I have a reason for it to not be maxed, it's maxed.
-
I usually max things and tab inside, like terminals. I leverage the virtual desktops a ton.

Same here, always a ton of things open, never see my desktop. Any desktop widgets or icons or whatever would be completely useless to me. If I have to minimize everything to get to something on my desktop, it'll set me back and waste time bringing stuff back up. I position things so I can click a window behind something running in front of it (when I can or makes sense).
I run my web browser 80% of the time maximized on a separate monitor, VMs on another virtual desktop. The rest of it is stacked windows everywhere.
I use alt+tab a lot to find windows easy, too.
