Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? - Hackaday

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.

There's probably alternatives to this, such as doing a Note to Self on Signal or similar apps.

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

librewolf/ff nightly
but i miss netscape and pre version 40 firefox
wrote 17 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 16 days ago last edited byI haven’t used Edge in a while, but are you talking about having work spaces to organize groups of tabs?
Did you look at Zen, the Firefox derivative that cloned the Arc UI?

I have like 5 different Firefox forks depending on how much memory usage I can afford to spare at the time I need to look something up

wrote 16 days ago last edited byYeah. Most recently it was a shitty site that looked like it had been built in 2000 and I had to use to pay an EMS bill: services.webillems.com
Tried several times on Firefox and it wouldn't let me proceed with the payment. It kind of acted like it had. But when I called them to confirm they said it never went through. Tried multiple times with the same results. So I then tried on Chrome and it went through first time.
There's have been others too. But like I said before, it's rare. But annoying.
It's down to these sites using stale, poorly-written legacy code and/or never being upgraded.
