I’ve always used Firefox and enjoyed Chrome for a bit due to coworkers claiming how much better it was but after Firefox Developer Edition I went back and still haven’t looked back. Unless I need to test Chrome specifics. Definitely Firefox Development Edition with Firefox Containers is the best combination.
Then, using your analytics package (which you have, correct?) You run testing either on actual hardware, or something like Browserstack for everything else in descending order of popularity by unique visitor.
Really, you have several different rendering engines and JS engines in play at any given time - and it's helpful to have an agreed upon support model in place prior to starting development. Generally speaking, support anything with 5+% in the past 90, and make a argument for not spending time supporting things below that without very good cause.
