Either Firefox or Librewolf (fork of Firefox). On my Lineage, I use Fennec. I usually restrict it even more with custom uBlock Origin filters and dnsmasq sinkholes to get away from 'Sign in with Google'-like popups, though.

I’m really enjoying Arc - the keyboard functionality is great, I like the way spaces work, and it’s quite pretty. I recommend checking it out if you can get an invite.

I have changed browser maybe every five or so years, whenever I had issues with the one I'm using. I've been back on Firefox as primary for a couple of years now.

Chrome for anything Google related. Firefox + NoScript for most browsing. I have pi-hole running on my network and don't permit anything but that node to query outbound for DNS.

Safari for everything. I'm deep in the apple ecosystem. Edge when I'm on my PC, once in a blue moon.

I use Brave and Vivaldi.

I like to split tasks/genres between browsers.

Chrome: day job Gmail, calendar etc, and other work related research Vivaldi: web dev testing Firefox: everything else

Firefox on mobile

Firefox.

I've been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I'm back with Firefox.

Brave on mobile and desktop

Ungoogled Chromium.

I was looking for private browsers, and found myself astonished at how the market is saturated in Chromium-based browsers, and how every website seems to only support theses browsers, so I had to accept that Chromium will be all there is until a new big thing appears, and wound up finding a Chromium fork that seems to remove all google aspects from it. I've had to tweak a few things but the experience has been very smooth so far.

IceRaven (for the addons and a few enhancements) and Bromite. Both are not good choices as they are poorly supported, but that's the reality of mobile browsers I guess.

Tbh I hate mobile browsers in general. I don't understand why they have to be so crippled, especially FF and its forks that keep getting worse with every major version.

I use Librewolf and eww.

Mostly Safari since I am part of the golden cage anyway. If something does not work there, I fall back to Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Safari has actually been a decent experience for me since I joined the golden cage a few months back. It really just works (most of the timeℒ️), as do ~~all~~ most things Apple. Lack of support for some modern web technologies is rather off-putting, though...

After a long time of using Chromium browsers (from Chrome to Brave to Edge to Vivaldi) I ended up back at good old Firefox again. On Mac I just use either Safari or Firefox. There's been a time where I was particularly unhappy with Firefox, as at the time it felt sluggish to me. Now it's the exact opposite. I've become very frustrated with how sluggish Chromium browsers can be. While I appreciate the efforts of the Vivaldi crew I think I'm just happier with Firefox.

Wish I could figure out why clicking on my downloads in the download list doesn't open them, though (I'm on KDE Neon).

Edge, and works really well so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox user here :/ The only extension that I really use is the tree based tabs, but I wouldn't mind dropping that.

Trying to push over to qutebrowser because it fits a lot better with my setup.

Didn't know mullvad had a browser though, will have to check that out for sure.

I use Arc and Orion for my computer. Mobile I use DDG and Orion

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is Arc still mac only?

I use Vivaldi and Firefox. I like Vivaldi customisability, tabbing, workspaces, rss support and Firefox robustness. Vivaldi also supports mail etc but i have not used that yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@Bicyclejohn Firefox, I don't know why, I suppose that I used it always.
Then I use Brave for pages which are optimized only for Chrome (unfortunately a lot of official portals in my place).
In mobile devices Brave and the native (Samsung Internet) I haven't checked Firefox yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Bromite and Fennec as backup on mobile (one place where you should go with chromium since security really matters here and things need to be patched ASAP) and Firefox, Vivaldi and Chromium as backup on Linux.

I thought Vivaldi was a gimmick for a long time but it grows on you. I ended up recreating stuff like gestures and sidebar from Vivaldi in Firefox with extensions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox all the way. Vanilla on desktop and Iceraven (a Firefox fork) on mobile. I also have Wolvic installed on my Quest 2 which came from Firefox's VR browser, but I never browse the internet in VR lol
