What web browser are you using personally?

Yeah, updates are only monthly or later at times. I only use it for a couple Sites and it’s super fast and has just about everything Google removed from it.

It’s all the same bogeyman with a different mask. :laughing:

More I use it, more I love Zen browser :innocent:

Primary: Floorp
Secondary: Firefox

Primary: Waterfox
Secondary: Vivaldi

  • Though I have actual Firefox installed to test if any Waterfox issues that might arise are specific to Waterfox or not.

Currently: Zen as my daily driver.
But due to various reasons I’m more likely to switch back to firefox sometime soon.

There has been some controversy during the past months related to privacy settings… but the main culprit is that it’s more or less a one man show who is developing this (UI) fork of firefox. It’s nice, and works mostly fine. Some features a nice to have. But could be achievedvia simple workarounds as well. The firefox devs already adapted some of the UI improvements (vertical tabs instead of horizontal). And as their policy in terms of changes is more or less an conservative approach instead of an experimental one, for long term stability and reliability reasons I’ld prefer that.

For anyone that doesn’t want to be stuck to one web-browser because of needing an account but do care about syncing your bookmarks. There’s a tool where you can do that and has an extension for every web-browser and been using it myself for a few months now, works great.

Brave Browser

FF is the only browser installed here atm ….

i’m fed up with browsers at this point to be honest lol

FF - main
Brave - 1st backup
Chrome - 2nd backup

Started with Mozilla Application Suite, then it evolved to Firefox/Thunderbird. Using these apps all the years til today. Except on the Android smartphone, there I used to use K9, but it evolved into Thunderbird, too.
Pretty happy with this setup on all my devices.

Once in a while I played around with chromium, but that didn’t last long, whenever I sneaked into it.

EndeavourOS laptop: Qutebrowser as a primary option, Firefox as a backup
Mint laptop: Brave

EOS: Firefox, Chromium as backup,

Debian based: Firefox ESR, Chromium as backup

I’m still using Brave on Desktop & Mobile (Android). No issues so far.

Just curious: What is your use case for a backup browser? How often do you have to use a backup browser and for what purpose? Is it because the primary browser stopped working?

Sometimes I came across sites, where some dialogs didn´t work (in FF).

So I pulled Chromium and it was fine. No idea, what´s wrong…

(Maybe my rigid security-settings in FF, Chromium served this few sites only)

Now it is ´standard´, but Chromium sleeps 99,99% of time.

Firefox (default on most distros)

Still my main driver. I love the extensions ecosystem, about:config tweaks, and the fact that it’s not Chromium-based. I pair it with uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, and a container extension (like Multi-Account Containers) — which makes it super versatile.

Downsides: performance on some heavy web apps (like Slack or Google Meet) sometimes lags compared to Chromium.

LibreWolf

My “private mode” browser. It’s basically Firefox with telemetry stripped, sane defaults, and extra privacy. Perfect when I want to search or browse without thinking too much about fingerprinting.

But: can feel restrictive at times if you do want to log in or use services that rely on certain APIs.
