I hadn’t seen a recent topic on this so I thought I’d get some of your opinions on what web browser you are currently running on your system? Just curious to see what everyone is running and decide if I should give another browser a go or just stick with the default Firefox.
Are you still running with the default Firefox that ships with EOS? Did you install a chromium based browser like Chrome or Vivaldi or Brave?
Anyone trying out one of the newer browsers like Zen? Maybe a Firefox spinoff like Floorp or Librewolf?
There was one, but another one is fine in my eyes.
I’m reading this on Brave. I have used Firefox and Vivaldi this week. I have tried Floorp in this summer and Librewolf I have tried last summer.
Brave seems to be the sensible Chromium option if you want to use it for the future, simply because they have an adblocker that seems extremely robust.
Vivaldi is great if you do a lot things in the browser; the same applies for Floorp.
Firefox is frankly my one true love when it comes to browsers. It works well enough for my needs, even though my most visited website is YouTube and it loads like molasses on it.
Librewolf is the love of many people here and for people that are privacy conscious. I find it too much for my needs, so I don’t use it.
Firefox for me.
Decided on some point I’d do some additional hardening since LibreWolf had too much functionality taken away from me while I liked the concept.
Firefox. I’ve used Brave a bit as well, which is a fine option if you want to use a chromium browser, but I don’t see the need unless some crappy webpage would be badly designed enough to warrant it.
I usually do add some extra hardening using BetterFox, librewolf seems to go a bit too far for my taste in that direction.
Mobile:
Firefox
I also have the DuckDuckGo Private Browser installed for its excellent “App Tracking Protection” which blocks adverts in many apps as well as blocking trackers. I don’t use the DDG Browser for browsing however.
I use brave for the non privacy browsing and its built in ad blocking, for privacy stuff i have firefox with security tweaks. I have brave on the phone even though i never actually use a browser on the phone as i don’t really even use a phone. a few text and calls that’s it.
