Firefox usually. Also Floorp and Vivaldi. I still have Brave installed too but I don’t really use it
I use Brave on my phone though
Just for consideration - I have firedragon on my ‘try-it-out’ list - based on floorp, apparently, but from a known good source…

Just wanted to chime in here with my two bits before the thread gets too old.
As someone strongly partial to opensource, I’m surprised to find myself preferring Vivaldi over Firefox recently. The customization possibilities are hard for me to resist. I can’t claim to have explored more than a small fraction of these possibilities, but I’m already addicted to the ways I can use tabs, sessions, etc. and how privacy is stressed. There also seems to be a vibrant community.
That parts of Vivaldi are closed source concerns me some, but, as a person who creates, I also understand how someone who spends weeks or months innovating, creating, and tweaking doesn’t care to have their work copied by others in a few seconds and used for their profit with no credit given. In the end I have to feel out the intention of the developers in the product. When using a browser like Edge I certainly feel like I’m being herded around to Edge’s advantage, or when searching for something I want to buy at a site like Amazon I’m aware the search results are more about what Amazon wants to sell me than what I might want to buy. Using Vivaldi I don’t feel manipulated in this way. Hopefully this won’t change.

surprised to see so many librewolf and ungoogled combos here. pleasantly surprised. those two have been my ‘go-tos’ a long time.
I gave Vivaldi a little test drive last night after seeing @winnyace mention in another thread about how it was somewhat descended from Opera, it seems like a very nice Chromium environment but I got some incredibly strange performance issues with it on the machine I was using -
Whenever the browser wasn’t the active window, moving the mouse over it at all caused a huge spike in system resource usage to the point that the cursor would be chugging across the screen at a sub-single digit refresh rate. Once the cursor finally escaped the boundaries of the Vivaldi window everything would snap back to normality.
I haven’t had the chance to dig into it yet but my first guess is some kind of issue with hardware acceleration settings, so maybe I’ll tinker with that after work today.
I’ve noticed there is another package in the Arch repos regarding some codecs for Vivaldi. I would install that too, though, I doubt that would fix anything. The package name is vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs. Check the Arch wiki for Vivaldi. Perhaps they might have something there about your issue.
I also use Chromium (for the same reasons), but as far as I can tell, synchronization is not available. But I don’t feel like switching to Chrome just for that reason.
Yeah I grabbed that at the same time as I installed the browser since it seemed like a clear no-brainer just to avoid any odd media issues out of the gate.
Perhaps I should try the opposite and just run the browser package alone, although I’m not sure how a codec package would cause such a strange interaction with the browser when there’s no media involved at the time.
I’m not sure either. Searching online, it seems checking if hardware acceleration is turned on is a good first step for diagnostic this.

Yeah that was my first guess too based on the behaviour, I clock off in an hour or so and I’ll do some tinkering!
С недавних пор стал пользоваться yandex-browser и нашел что это лучший браузер для меня. С тех пор как началось замедление ютуба, а иногда его полная не работоспособность начал метаться между браузерами в поисках того какой уверенно открывает ютуб. Были установлены google-crome, brave, tor. Но ни один из них без vpn не открывал ютуб. Каково же было мое удивление когда установив yandex-browser я получил уверенный доступ к ютубу без vpn. Не знаю чем это объяснить, но с тех пор yandex-browser стал моим основным. Хотя изредка использую и вышеперечисленные когда через них появляется лоступ к ютубу.

Нет, не работает YouTube. Только что проверил.
No, YouTube doesn’t work. I just checked it out.
I’m genuinely sorry for the situation there. I hope both of you are fine.
Yes, there are no problems 
Everyone knows the solutions

Я только что проверил работу ютуба. В brave броузере работает с дикими тормозами, а в yandex-browser все нормально.
В любом случае это не тема обсуждения блокировки YouTube. Вы можете создать отдельную тему по этому вопросу.
In any case, this is not a topic of discussion about blocking YouTube. You can create a separate topic on this issue.

Used Vivaldi for years. Then tried Firefox and was happy … Some month later, I didn’t like Firefox anymore and tried Brave. Now I’m back on Vivaldi and yes, I’m happy again.
So … I’m using Vivaldi on all my devices.

I’m also really looking forward to Ladybird. I hope the project is successful. Not sure what the timeframe on building a browser from scratch is though. Has to be a monumental undertaking.
Good to see all the differing opinions on web browsers. The Vivaldi comments make me want to give it another try as I only ever tried it very shortly before getting rid of it. Maybe now is the time to give it another look.
