Using Orion on iOS currently (there’s a macOS version too). It’s made by the same people behind the Kagi search engine. I’m loving it. Built with WebKit and on mobile it utilises some power saving feature Safari does not.

They plan to release a Windows version eventually too, and using WebKit! (Not Chromium).

Personal Use:

  • Firefox with all privacy guards enabled on PC
  • Samsung Internet and Firefox on mobile

Work Use: Edge. Honestly such an impressive browser - much faster than other browsers ime, great set of built in tools. If it wasn't for the privacy concerns, I would probably shift to Edge.

I use Vivaldi, because it just has a better UI and better usability features.

Waterfox G5, because it's literally just modern Firefox ESR but with the ability to install legacy add-ons re-enabled.

I use this to make my own personal CSS themes and JS add-ons (as well as use existing ones like in the link above) and manage them in a way that's more elegant and streamlined than userChrome.

cough chrome. It just works. I've been sucked into the g-verse of things. I was a long time f-fox user but there was a particular print to pdf instance that I couldn't do any longer on f-fox, so I just surrendered

I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.

Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).

I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.

I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.

I recently switched from Firefox to Arc, which is in closed beta right now. It has a great Tab management. If anyone is interested I can send you an invite :)

librewolf on the desktop. works for me. Came from vivaldi, which is too big for my old laptop setup (takes ages to load). Using fennec on android. But, recently i needed a browser for android which allows a bookmark.html file to be imported (camera froze with sync) and couldn't find one. everything today MUST go over the sync (cloud).

Firefox with uBlock Origin hard mode across Android, Linux and Windows, and strong systemwide HOSTS blocking and a good DNS provider. Fallback option is Firefox profile with uBlock Origin easy mode in the rare scenario website with whitelisting subdomains will not work.

Ungoogled Chromium is touched once or twice a year atmost.

I just recently switched to Arc, and it is soo good. Really changing my workflow for the better. So nice to experience a product where people have opiniated ideas about how something can be done differently. It might not be for everyone, but damn its something for me.

Mostly edge

It’s quite decent in terms of battery usage

And BingAI occasionally becomes useful for research

I use Brave. It's not perfect but I like the built-in adblock and the crypto stuff is an added bonus.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've been using Arc exclusively for the past few months, and really enjoy the experience. It has so many nice little UX flourishes, and tab management is super clean and organized.

Brave. Because Mozilla made me switch from Firefox after almost 20 years due to its idiotic development trend (remove features, add crappy UI, disregard community feedback).

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Brave. Open source, blocks everything and use Chromium for maximum web compatibility.
