What Is Your Preferred Web Browser?

brent

Preferred: voted FF. Hate FF. Clunky. But I see nothing more secure.
Best looking on block: Chrome, but I don't trust it, man.
Messy Divorce: Qupzilla til it stopped functioning. Falkon, the re-brand, not the same.
Brave: I don't get it. I tried.
First Love: Opera. Will return to Opera soon. Real buggy a year ago. Hope it's better.
Mr. Kyrios: Epiphany is sleek. That is all.

I had less headaches using Chrome, but then a i got the "help-the-privacy-and-auditable code-company-helpers" then a i just though using Firefox would be the better option. Today a use Firefox, and I'm used to it, and it's fine, but i feel like Chromium based browser are just more fast.

Im thinking about use Vivaldi, they have a auditable source code, and for me that's cool, but i have to know how they are about privacy and how to make Netflix work on it. Would be nice if someone could help me. Ty!

Currently using Brave browser, fast browser, privacy by default and compatible with chrome extensions, moreover using Qwant by default as search engine, nice evolution for such young browser 😉

Changed to Brave after reading this thread.
Tried out Vivaldi as well, but that was just way to much fuzz (customization and shit)

Funny enough all that customization is what attracted me to Vivaldi. ❤️ Page Tiling and Web Panels.

Well...I prefer privacy, but for now I like and use Opera-it's bookmarks are beautifull, but it's so stupid browser that can't be made to not remember history or delete it...it lacks control-as every other blink browser.
Firefox on the other hand seems to have discarted their philosophy for freedom and now partner with monsters like Soros to ,,fight fake news''. It was Firefox quantum which changed many of the default settings to be anti-private and free. Still it's far better than other browsers and you shouldn't be discouraged to use it. It's the best we have...and when hardened it's great 🙂 Actually Tor is on the base of FF. You can check how to make it better here https://www.privacytools.io/#browser and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhWdsFMc24.
For watching youtube/facebook and most of the account it's better to use Brave.

Wowwwwww, i didn't knew that!

Emperor Firefox on the other hand seems to have discarted their philosophy for freedom and now partner with monsters like Soros to ,,fight fake news''.

Neither of those things is correct (even if there have been occasional blunders on the privacy and freedom front), and calling George Soros a monster is ridiculous and way off-topic.

JoshStrobl always been firefox. surprised 1% of people use gnome web, i think it's quite neat! people who use vivaldi, chrome and opera, tut tut...

raenii Hey, I use Epiphany too! It's great for light browsing. And I love the visual cohesion with the rest of Gnome Applications

Fatih19

raenii It has a headerbar which looked neat. It's a shame that it doesn't work well with youtube.

FireFox with add-on "Privacy Badger", as it keeps out optional apps and connections when i stream to TwitchTV.

WetGeek

Opera. Gotta love that speed dial feature. Also being able to turn off advertisements without needing another add-on.

Firefox Nightly and Web (Epiphany)

Has anyone used surf?

Do the Firefox users just use it because it's the default or because they like it more?

kyrios

Justin I use it because I don't want a net dominated by the GAFAM with no right for privacy, etc.
Also firefox isn't the fastest browser but apart from specific use cases, it isn't noticeable in real life on modern computers.
Firefox engine is currently the only viable alternative to the webkit/blink monopoly (and it already lost on the mobile).

TurtleMode

Justin I like it because Mozilla actually seems to care about privacy, and at the same time they're not really sacrificing any noticeable amount of functionality or performance.

I use it because it's the only way to get Flash working.

sangheeta I tried them all but at the end, it is always with Firefox that I have the least disappointment overall (even if some things still bother me), concerning the balance between features, freedom, compatibility, ease of use, addons, website rendering, customization of the interface and functions...

+1.

I use it because it's reliable, well supported, I can customize it to a great extent and there are a lot of add-ons (which I don't need).
It gets the job done and is quick.
Mind you, I have a powerful Thinkpad W530 helping me along the way.

Didn't Mozilla announce that Firefox was going to switch to a webkit engine..? Or was it only on mobiles..? 🤔

As for chromium & co, I have always seen things that are not very clear, such as parameters that are not taken into account, forced or not practicable.
To sum up, I have more trust in Firefox
