Yes.

Interesting results so far anyways.
Brave and Librewolf in :men_wrestling: for the second place:
Google Chrome with %8 at the 3rd place. A bit surprising to me.

And nobody has been willing to admit that they are using Edge. :wink:

Which is interesting since they are basically polar opposites.

And a respectable 5% have chosen “Show results I don’t wanna participate” through their participation :wink:

The result would show without voting anyways :sweat_smile:

Of course, the result would differ significantly if a second choice (or more) could be made. Different ‘horses’ for different courses comes to mind… (for me, Brave for general, Firefox for more important - or maybe FireDragon, depending where I am (which build I’m on).

Exactly, that is what it so secure. You don’t need encryption if you can’t load or send any data.

thanks for the share. I tried and its much better on Chromium.

I used to use this one but some how settings reset after closing the browser… weird bug on my end.

Maybe? Mosaic was the first web browser I used and it was on an SGI machine that ran the web interface to the documentation stored on the Cray super-computer at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado.

I also use an iPad, but somehow I didn’t think of Safari, probably because I was automatically thinking only of Linux in connection with the forum thread.

wtf? It seems like you don’t even understand the meaning behind this project and why people will not use chromium based Browsers in general, especially in the Linux world.

Giving Google more and more power and shifting towards one Browser/Engine for the whole Web is bad, very very bad. Recent things that happened that showcase how bad it is, was Googles attempt to establish “FLoC”. I mean, I can give you an advise to research more about that topic instead of coming across like : “herp derp, chromium benchmark faster herp derp” “ungoogled chromium only using ddg search theror bad her derp”

Can you then provide me with reason why stock chromium wins in all these benchmark against stock firefox!?

Firefox is horribly slower than chromium (not saying chromium based). Chromium is improved more everyday. I like open source a lot but I will never compromise on performance over that and if both are open source then where is the issue? Google contributes to linux more than Mozilla and they are nothing but a rising bad guy nowadays. (also thunderbird is outdated for long mozilla)

I suggest nobody to use ungoogled chromium:

Ungoogled Chromium isn’t recommended for many reasons:

Not digital signed

Easily trackable because of unique fingerprint

These binaries are provided by anyone who are willing to build and submit them. Because these binaries are not necessarily reproducible, authenticity cannot be guaranteed; In other words, there is always a non-zero probability that these binaries may have been tampered with*

One more point: The latest firefox 96 sucked.

This thread has served its purpose and in order to avoid an eventual escalation into a “flame war of browsers” because of its very nature and judging by the few past posts, it should be closed and archived.

What do you think @moderators?

I am just annoyed by the fact that there have been several threads in #lounge lately (either about another GNU plus Linux distro or another one’s imminent dead …) that more or less have resulted into a sentiment of “unrest and uproar”.
