Which browser do you use and why?
-
Hm, maybe I'm remembering a different browser when it comes to the extensions thing. I'm thinking of one that used an older version of Firefox's addon system, so has all of three maintained ones.
Well, either way, is dark reader.actually any good? Every non-native solution for dark mode I've ever tried has been a complete piece of crap, just lazily inverting the page contents, images often included.
-
Falkon, because it's fully integrated to KDE. Though I wish an actual Qt web browser running Gecko (or Servo, maybe one day) existed.
-
My issue is that while i am concerned about privacy, i’m more concerned with security patching. And none of these smaller browsers have the resources to turn around security fixes as quickly as firefox or chrome.
Firefox is the least of the concerns as long as we have the config options to disable anything deemed not privacy-respecting.
-
https://qutebrowser.org/ and Librewolf
-
What in the terms is concerning? They still have the bulk of the language in the old data privacy guarantee as well. This seems like they just got a more circumspect legal department who wants to cover their ass.
It's always been the case that Mozilla could decide to just make Firefox suck ass. Again, I'll be worried when they actually change the terms to something unacceptable.

Not sure what you mean by Zen being a skin. Its a fork in the same way Librewolf and Waterfox are forks.
-
As of late using konqueror, it quite bs-less
-
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.
