Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? - Hackaday

I've switched to Floorp which feels like a more modern Firefox/LibreWolf to me

Thats fair. Any good ones that have come out in the last month or so?
Not sure exactly which part you're asking about.
For Mozilla, the best source I've found is Louis Rossmann's wiki on Mozilla's TOS changes (and his breakdown on YT if you don't want to read).
For articles about which browser to pick, idk, I don't really follow that. I use Firefox and Firefox derivatives because I believe engine diversity is of utmost importance, and I only use Chromium forks as a backup for sites that don't work properly on Firefox.

The only "issue" I have with libre is its essentially a full pull of Firefox nightly with some rust patches on top. Its reliant on Firefox, so its not really a "new" browser per-say.
That being said, I use it everyday
Its an excellent project. -
Hard to fault them for that though. It's damn near impossible to build a fully or even mostly functioning browser for the modern internet without a huge team of devs unless you build it on top of chromium or Firefox, and I'd rather the latter
Yep agreed. I guess I just had a misconception at first.

Librewolf

Extremely slow on my PCs, I switched to Zen (same product, different recipe)

I did the same, then switched again to Zen, same reasons

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.
What's wrong with Vivaldi?

Some people are uncomfortable with it being closed-source. It's more of a philosophical objection than a criticism of the browser's functionality.

Its an excellent project.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.

We vote with our browser. And you are voting Chromium. It's ok, but you could do something about it.

How is it different or better?

I'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.

Sorry, I misunderstood then

Zen felt way too apple to me

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.

I just like the small aesthetic differencies better (btw: I hate Apple)

I like Zen.

Zen 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
