Firefox
LibreWolf on desktop and Mull on Android. Basically Firefox with a little more privacy.
+1
favorite has to be tor though
The overhead and performance hit aren’t worth it for me in general since these browsers are set up to enforce secure connections as long as you don’t override it. And I don’t have to worry about government level website filtering. I do see the value in tunnels for stopping the ISPs from tracking and selling the list of sites you connect to, but I’d rather set up my own proxy for that if I felt it was worth it. It’s easy enough to set up a web proxy on a small, cheap, remote VPS or pay for a trustworthy service with no logging so the ISP would just see that connection and it would be way faster. I don’t see much value in using a Tor browser otherwise anymore now that HTTPS is ubiquitous and secure DNS exists, unless you want to access things not on the public web.
Librewolf, Badwolf, Chromium.
Firefox, Zen-Browser, Mull
Firefox and Firefox Focus
Floorp with Sidebery for vertical tabs and tab groups
Firefox and Mull.
I use Firefox on my work computer (macOS) and personal computers (Linux), and Mull on my phone because it’s available on F-Droid.
Firefox everywhere. It’s not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.
Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).
There’s an extension (plus companion application) for running PWAs via Firefox. It has worked well for me.
Floorp has built in optional PWA feature, but is experimental.
NetSurf is closer to a browser.
NetSurf is a very barebones browser. It can fill a niche, but is not a daily driver where other options are available.
Which is not the case on Plan 9.
Huh, TIL NetSurf works on Plan9.
Firefox for the win.
There is no favorite. There is only the lesser of several evils, and usually it changes after a few years.
Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.
Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.
Every browser I use causes me to feel some negative reaction
I have been using Vivaldi for about half a year and so far it is working well for me. Originally moved to it due to it’s privacy features, but finding other areas quite useful too such as workspaces
Vivaldi is very functional. But once I understood the wide landscape features of floorp, incl workspaces and all, I was sold to Floorp.
I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.
Started using Zen browser recently and it’s not bad! Basically Firefox but more stylish and more privacy. It syncs with my Mozilla/Firefox account so on mobile I just use Firefox.
Same situation here! I was a vertical tab hater for quite a while but I’m really liking Zen’s UI so far
But she was not asking for a suggestion !
Fair enough. Just thought to mention it since they mentioned Zen being more private.
Librewolf and the new zen browser
LibreWolf on everything that supports it (Windows/Mac/Linux) and Fennec F Droid on Android.
Try Waterfox on Android
If you’re a LibreWolf user, then Mull might be up your alley to replace Fennec.
