Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? - Hackaday

We vote with our browser. And you are voting Chromium. It's ok, but you could do something about it.
wrote 14 days ago last edited byI'm really not. I use Firefox 99.5% of the time (I need to switch to Librewolf). But there are some rare occasions - usually shitty old billing websites - where Gecko simply does not work due to said shitty old website. Not paying those bills is an impractical solution. Having a fallback for those rare occasions isn't unreasonable.

To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it's impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.

How is it different or better?
wrote 14 days ago last edited byI just like the small aesthetic differencies better (btw: I hate Apple)

What's wrong with Vivaldi?
wrote 14 days ago last edited byIf you dont require open-source in your decision, Vivaldi is great. Its what i use most. It has a ton of granular features that i appreciate, but can be a bit too much for folks that want a more minimal experience.

I like Zen.

wrote 14 days ago last edited byZen has some cool options like being able to split-view two tabs in the same window and preview links without opening them. The colour coded workspaces (should u choose to colour code them) is also useful and aesthetically pleasing

I’m really enjoying Orion on iPhone and Mac

I've switched to Floorp which feels like a more modern Firefox/LibreWolf to me
wrote 14 days ago last edited byUsed to use Floorp, then Zen, now on Firedragon, a mod of Floorp with many features from Librewolf.

wrote 14 days ago last edited byWhile I use it, I can live without it, especially since it only seems to work 2/3 of the time between my desktop and my iPhone.
There's probably alternatives to this, such as doing a Note to Self on Signal or similar apps.

wrote 14 days ago last edited byI wonder if Waterfox allows this. It’s MOSTLY Firefox but without going down the AI trash route.

I’ve dumped FF for Zen and Waterfox.
Zen’s only downside is that it can’t play some DRM media like some sports websites.

Tried shifting on so many browsers but returned back to Edge. The tab management on edge is amazing, I'm still waiting for a browser with tab system like them

wrote 14 days ago last edited byMaybe yt-dlp works with those sites. Then you can use mpv to play those media.

wrote 14 days ago last edited byYeah old Firefox was the best. With a bookmark menu on the left where I could scroll forever and see it at a glance.
Those top bars are awful shit, and I cannot fathom how anybody uses them.

Per se is a Latin phrase meaning "in itself". To see if you're using it properly, replace per se in your sentence with "in itself" and see if it still makes sense.

Vivaldi and Librewolf are good recommends. So good call by the author.
I wish I could completely ditch Blink based browsers for Gecko ones, just because I dislike how dominant Blink is thanks to Chrome. But some sites don't render correctly on Gecko. So a fallback is needed.
wrote 14 days ago last edited byI never came across a single page that didn't render correctly with Gecko - do you have an example?
