Which browser do you use and why?
-
Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.
Don't really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox's work and then releases it later.
I want a Google and Apple alternative and I'd rather support it at the top of the chain.
-
Gnome browser, I’d use ladybird but it’s not ready yet
-
Vivaldi. Edge for testing. FF dev edition is garbage. Glitchy, inconsistent, and blunt.
-
Check articFox
-
Gnome browser and Konqueror are WebKit based like safari is
-
I still use firefox despite their questionable leadership, for one major reason: it prevents Google from setting whatever web standards they want. Sites that aren't standards compliant will usually still work in Chromium-based browsers, but they will break in Firefox, and then I can report the bugs.

Starting yesterday unfortunately Chrome and not Firefox. I just need a working web browser and haven't had the time to figure out what is wrong with my Firefox installation. I have no clue why but after updating to firefox 135 it eats up all my RAM (20GB+) and uses a significant amount of CPU while idle with only the process monitor tab open. Attempting to browse is unreasonably slow. Refreshing Firefox did nothing, despite now having a Firefox installation which isn't logged into anything and has no extensions. So I figured that if I'm going to deal with a browser not logged into anything it might as well be Chrome for a bit until I can figure out what the problem is since that's what all of the internet is designed to work with lately.

Using a downstream fork only kills the source if the source is funding itself by spying on you.
-
Librewolf mainly because that's the Firefox-type browser that comes with my distro (IceCat is there too, but it's based on ESR and not frequently updated).
-
The only thing that sucks about it is some sites just flat out don't work well. For example, in Librewolf I cannot login to my banks website. The site loads, but the login just hangs. Firefox it works immediately.
-
Zen, absolutely love the workflow and the fact that it is not chromium based.
Waiting excitedly for ladybird, it is already very impressive but still years left until it is daily drive able
-
I use Firefox as my main browser. I use the multi-account containers extension in Firefox to seperate my browsing activities. Brave is installed as a backup in case firefox fails me. I use TOR browser for searching for stuff that I don't want linked to me.
-
I use Librewolf, I manage passwords with pass and rofi.
Hoppefuly AIs will write a new FOSS web browser. I read here and here that the web standards are too big to be implemented by humans. -
Ungoogled chromium, sadly FF has been getting worse over the years (partially because it is getting worse and partially because web developers happen to ignore it's existence) also Chromium has superior security.
I'm hopeful about the future of ladybird but it will take a long time until it is a possible daily driver.

Have you tried enabling webgl, which by default is disable on Librewolf? You can do that by overwriting the corresponding setting, as it can be done for any Librewolf setting, in particular the webgl override needed is:
defaultPref("webgl.disabled", false);If you do, Librewolf recommend using the extension "CanvasBlocker" given the fingerprinting allowed by webgl. There's a settings doc BTW..
-
I use several, depending on use case:
- Tor Browser for general and anonymous web browsing (e.g. reading news, looking up stuff, and so on)
- Mullvad Browser as a clear web alternative for general use
- Librewolf for generally logging into sites with personally identifiable accounts (e.g. to buy stuff)
- Ungoogled Chromium for those few sites which only work with a Chromium-based browser, or other specific cases
- On Android: Tor Browser and Vanadium
-
I was thinking of switching to one of the Firefox forks but have only tried Waterfox so far and not super impressed. I guess Firefox is the best out of the bad bunch until I find an alternative I like.
-
Still using Firefox but looking to move to LibreWolf
-
On pc I use both librewolf and firefox
On mobile I use mull, fennec, and vanadium if for some reason they want something chromium based
