Which browser do you use and why?
-
Chromium has superior security
I hadn't heard that before. Do you have a source that I can read up more on it?

interesting, so you just back up your ~/.password-store directory? You use the same thing on Android or something else?/
I am using KeePass, it generates password and also TOTP. Works fine but I want to switch to something more Linuxy. Keepass is great but you really depend on a 3rd party.
I m not experienced but this video shows a way to use pass.

FF is evil now?
I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.
-
Chrome is proprietary
Yes, this tiny

I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.
It's a casual English language construction of the 90s. It's equivalent to "FF is evil?" And implies that the writer believes that it didn't used to be.

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
Basically a firefox skin, although they have a VPN as a sponsor, did somebody did a thorough check on that browser?

I used to use variations of Firefox but I got tired of websites not being compatible so sometimes I use chrome
I’ve never had that happen. What sort of websites
-

Poorly-designed ones.
-
unholy sentence out of context (1st of second paragraph)
Gotta say, you have a point. Too lost in the privacy sauce to really notice it earlier.

Isn't Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues?
What issues?
-
Using firefox but concerned now
I use Firedragon, because it's the only browser I could find that has a vertical tab-bar that collapses. Supposedly Zen does it, too, but I couldn't get it to work.
Firedragon also has a toolbar to the side with a notepad and other neat stuff. I haven't used that yet, but it could be cool.

Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?
The UI and dialogue boxes look a bit dated, not sure why
-
Librewolf is pretty much standard hardened Firefox. So you should feel right at home with that one
Thanks I'll give it a go
-

Ah fair enough, can't argue with personal preference.
You sure you weren't using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

I'll give librewolf a go. Can I just copy my profile with all my extensions across?
-
Waterfox is based on esr, so quite outdated. Just use librewolf and some css. You have firefox-one that will make it look pretty and similar to zen. Zen is no good if you care about privacy.
"Zen is no good if you care about privacy."
How so?

I just don't care for downstream projects on browsers, with software so critical I want to get the updates in as fast as possible. I know some of those mentioned in OP had issues with that in the past. And not much reason to anyway for me to switch, Firefox works perfectly fine for me, so there's not much added benefit.
I've been using the Firefox mod Zen Browser on Linux Mint. When Firefox released an update in February, my Zen had it the next day. People depending on the "official" Firefox were left waiting over a week, with multiple threads in the forums asking "when is it coming?"
Also when I looked into mods updates for a critical security fix in November, practically all the mods had updated within 24 hours of FF's update. (Exceptions: Midori and Mercury.)
