Which browser do you use and why?
-
Despite my issues with it, I use Chrome. It's simply too integrated into my life. But I just saw (like 2 minutes ago) from another thread here about Zen Browser and maaaan is it nice.
-
Firefox. Equally concerned as well.
-
Isn't Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues? And Arc is VC funded...
-
Been moving over to LibreWolf and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I added NoScript and CanvasBlocker extensions, along with my password manager, and I'm getting settled in with it now.

Looking into Librewolf and Waterfox now!
-
Yes, it seems to use the same engine as Firefox.
-
But not a fork, right? Sorry I don't understand it clearly.
-
IMO, if I'm going to jump from Chrome it might as well be for libre/OSS. No reason to just from proprietary to proprietary.
-
Zen Browser is a free and open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox, with its main focus being privacy, customizability and design, and it is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0).
Seems to be a fork.

Chromium browsers are affected by any changes to chrome, I wonder if the same is true for Firefox forks.
-
Simple forks, sure. Independent forks? No. So I guess it depends on if Zen considers itself independent or not, and I can't seem to find that information.
-
FireDragon because it's the version of Firefox that Garuda ships with and I never saw a reason to change from it.
-
Thanks for this. I'm using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they're going.
I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.
-
OK! You've had 1 hour to check them out.
What's the difference between the two? -
I used Floorp, it's balanced well between looks and privacy, you can't even enable data collection if you wanted to
-
Apparently, Floorp is another Firefox fork. Has anyone tried this?
