Browsers of choice

Lounge

Firefox
Ungoogled-chromium
Tor

Exactly what I use.

22

Brave.

Why Brave: Advantages of Chrome/Chromium with the Google stuff removed. The ability to pay webcreators for their content with cryptocurrency is built in.

Ungoogled Chromium a second choice.

  1. Waterfox
  2. Chrome for my classes. Google meet doesn’t work too well in waterfox for me. :slightly_frowning_face: But I’ve been attending my classes via Ungoogled Chromium lately, and it also works fine, so I’ll probably switch.

Well, here in India, the central government’s “latest” and “flagship” payment system, meant to handle transcactions worth tens of millions of rupees per day, is built upon code that works exclusively in Internet Explorer. It uses Java applets to digital sign payments. It probably also uses some VBScript, but I’m not sure about this.
For any Indians, out there, I’m not talking about BHIM/UPI. I’m talking about PFMS, which is used in govt. offices.

I tried it just to check it out but it was terrible. Very ugly looking and using it’s own font to render stuff instead of using my default fonts on Linux. It did not looked good at all.

And then there is the thing that it is from Microsoft so another reason to not use it.

Firefox for me too.
I don’t feel the need to use another browser.

Firefox as well, but modded to be as unobtrusive as possible, by having only a single line of “browser” and everything else is just the site I am on.

The Chromium based Edge has rapidly taken a larger market share. It is also very good.

29

We know why it has taken a large market share.

Not trying to hurt your feelings or start a flame war, but why not just use Chromium? :thinking: I know that you use Windows too. I understand that, and even I have dual boot on both my machines. But isn’t Chromium as good as Edge (and more secure)?

1st - Firefox ( pretty much everything )
2nd - Chromium ( for auto translate and the line app extension )
3rd - Edge ( for my bank )

31

I don’t use it. Well I use it at work.

How’d you do the address bar and tabs on one line?

35

this should help with that, put it into the userchrome.css file in your profile folder, if it doesnt work you can adjust it to your needs or just remove it again.

#PanelUI-button {
  display:none!important;
}
#main-window :-moz-any(#back-button, #forward-button) {
  display: none !important;
}

:root {--toolbar-height:40px;}
[uidensity="compact"]:root{--toolbar-height:30px;}
[uidensity="touch"]:root{--toolbar-height:44px;}
#TabsToolbar {
  -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;
  height: var(--toolbar-height);
  position: relative!important;
}

#TabsToolbar {
    margin:calc(-1 * var(--toolbar-height)) 0 2px 800px!important; /* Change this to your needs */
}
#nav-bar{
  position: relative!important;
  height: var(--toolbar-height) !important;
  margin-right: 700px!important; /* Change this to your needs */
}
#urlbar-container {max-width: 400px !important;} /* Change this to your needs */
#search-container {max-width: 200px !important;}  /* Change this to your needs */
#reader-mode-button, #pageActionButton {
    display:none!important;
}

and than there is this version as well:

/******************** Make tabs and navbar appear side-by-side tabs on left *******************/

  /* IMPORTANT */
  /* Get window_control_placeholder_support.css Window controls will be all wrong without it */
  /* Modify these to change relative widths or default height */

    --uc-toolbar-height: 38px;
  }
  :root[uidensity=compact] #urlbar-container.megabar {
    --urlbar-container-height: var(--uc-toolbar-height) !important;
    padding-block: 0 !important;
  }
  :root[uidensity=compact] #urlbar.megabar {
    --urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--uc-toolbar-height) !important;
  }
  /* prevent urlbar overflow on narrow windows */
  /* Dependent on how many items are in navigation toolbar and tabs-/nav-bar ratio - ADJUST AS NEEDED */
  @media screen and (max-width: 350px) {
    #urlbar-container {
      min-width: unset !important
    }
  }
  #toolbar-menubar {
    height: initial !important;
  }
  #toolbar-menubar[inactive]> :not(.titlebar-buttonbox-container) {
    opacity: 0;
    pointer-events: none;
  }
  #toolbar-menubar[inactive] {
    margin-bottom: calc(0px - var(--uc-toolbar-height))
  }
  #TabsToolbar>.titlebar-buttonbox-container,

  #tabbrowser-tabs,

  }
  #nav-bar {

    }

    }
  }

Don’t forget to enable the flag in about:config to allow userChrome.css mods.

I use different browsers for different things.

1- Brave (for my personal needs)
2- Chromium (for university stuff)

I have tried to use Firefox, but it just doesn’t work quite as well as Chromium-based browsers.
