What Is Your Preferred Web Browser?

jrsilvey yes, Opera was split and the consumer facing side was bought by a Chinese consortium, but the company is still located in Norway. As such, it has to comply with Norwegian laws which are quite strict.

If you're on the internet, someone somewhere is scraping your data and using it for profit or nefarious reasons. It's all about how much you're personally comfortable with giving up.

lumi yeah palemoon is a good browser,but sadly😔 it is not very well recieved among todays users. some days ago my younger brother saw me using palemoon and he asked me why i use such an "outdated browser"
i told him it was the latest version but he just went away laughing.

[deleted] having tried to use Pale Moon in the past, i know that it tends to lag behind standards, especially when it comes to multimedia. The developers and community are also pretty toxic when it comes to pushing their ideologies :/

It's a nice concept, but the execution is lacking, imo.

I really like Vivaldi, but font density is thin in Chromium-based browsers, so I keep using FireFox for most everything because the text appears similar to all of the other software that I use.

Firefox. User since version 1.

Google chrome because Firefox doesn't support PWA

GSingh1994 Yeah it's a pity that Mozilla discontinued SSB support in Firefox.

I use Vivaldi but I find the PWA implementation in browsers overall to be lacking.

I use a program called WebCatalog. It turns any website into a functional desktop client. It integrates certain extensions (like DarkReader) into the apps that you can use to manipulate the look and feel.
The free version allows you to make two free apps from sites. The premium version allows unlimited apps to be made. I have something like 50 or 60 apps and I use them in some combination every day.

The only downside is a lack of integrated password manager.

dalto Wow thanks man I didn't know about this extension. Will definitely try this out.

I use Firefox with a bunch of add ons. Part of it is just because I am an old geezer and I have been using Firefox since about version 1.5 if I remember correctly.

kyrios

DanFromWinterpeg I was using it when it was called Phoenix but they had to change the name because of the Phoenix BIOS manufacturer... it then became Firebird but then again they had to change the name because Firebird is the name of a database... it then becomes Firefox and was released in v1.0 if I recall correctly.

Thunderbird didn't had to change its name otherwise we'd have got Thunderfox I guess 😅

MarkoB

Mostly it is Firefox, but now trying Brave. Need lighter one, also available on Linux and Android

Don't pass up a chance to try Vivaldi!

brent

kyrios Which is odd since Thunderbird in the USA has a 100 year history of making Americans cheap, rot-gut wine: it's synonymous with being down and out and the kind of vintage best drank on a park bench at 7am (I've been told😉).
Maybe the company was too wasted to sue Mozilla?

EbonJaeger

brent And don't forget the Ford Thunderbird 😛

kyrios

brent Yeah but it is a totally different field. Phoneix & firebird are both active in IT, just like Firefox.
Lotus is a brand of luxury cars, but where I live it is also a brand of biscuits and of toilet paper. Pretty obvious these brands have no relationship with each other although they share the same name.

brent

EbonJaeger The TBird wine company has really let some opportunities go, haven't they? 😄

Vivaldi and use Page Actions <> Invert for night and Sepia to break up daytime reading. Best part is tab specific. 🙂

ARiosProjekt

Brave, I know this is dumb, but I do like it because it does have Global Menu's support.

MattX

ARiosProjekt Brave is my favourite browser since I discovered it. I used Chrome for years and Firefox when I switched to Linux. It blocks annoying ads by default. Plays every media on the internet with no problem and supports webapp making I like to use. I don't care about their cryptocurrency they are giving for their own ads, because they are not very generous. 😆
