What Is Your Preferred Web Browser?

Well, thanks for the tip:
I tried to install BRAVE but couldn't.
It looked as if it got installed (in the Software Center) but it didn't show in the list of apps.
I couldn't run it from the terminal either.

Any idea what might have happened?

Have you tried log out/in, or restart your computer?

That did the trick, thanks!
I hadn't restarted my computer, but when I did the BRAVE icon was right there amongst the apps and started perfectly. Strange though that one should have to do that...

So, now I can test it for a while.

SOLUSfiddler the work around for icons not disappearing in the menu is "pkill budgie-panel" from the terminal, quiker than log out and log in or restart

Justin When Firefox isn't the default, I install it myself.

I use Firefox because:

I trust Mozilla more than I trust Google.
Almost all sites I use work fine on Firefox, or even better than on other browsers I've tried. The only site I've found any issues with is Homebrewery, which doesn't render properly on Firefox, but I just use Brave for that one site.
I find it easier to make Firefox look good than other browsers. I love how my Firefox installation looks and feels.
I've found Firefox just generally seems to work more smoothly than other browsers.
I've always used Firefox, and I just haven't really seen any major benefit to switching to another browser. I hate saying this, but well... 'it just works' 😅

JoshStrobl Good evening first of all I would like to know how I can install the latest beta version or the stable version of opera is the only browser that I like because it works perfectly on my computer and used firefox and consumes a lot of memory and chrome less than less is currently excessive consumption stable version of the opera is 60.0.3255.27 and I would like to install it in advance thank you very much and apologize if my English is not perfect I am using a translator thanks

Justin

harelt Open Software Centre search for Opera, install.

Justin I look for it by that means and it leaves a version 58.0.3135.90 of 07-Mar-2019 and already there is a new version 60.0.3255.27 of 09-Apr-2019 that is the one that I would like to install because if there was a way of oneself not is through the installation of debian packages do not say yo then that new version is very nice

90% of the time Google Chrome
The other 10% is split between Firefox and Vivaldi.

I know I'm the monster that sleeps under your bed at night, but I like Chrome 😅

Firefox : Solus
Chrome : Android

Nycticorax

Firefox on every platform except my 10' hybrid/convertible Windows 10 notebook, whose limited resources and touchscreen prefer Microsoft Edge over every alternative tried so far.

It has not been updated on Solus yet. I have submitted the update, you'll have to wait for it to be approved, and make it's way to the stable repository. https://dev.getsol.us/D6023

Harvey to ok perfect many THANK YOU really grateful 😀 😄

harelt

Harvey good afternoon friend excuse the inconvenience because I could install the new version of the opera now see that they already have to take another 2 or 3 versions more new that and installed and I was researching and if I mistake not a tool called solbuild this new system will allow to create packages solus in a fast and easy way with this I can transform this new version of opera from the formato.deb to eopkg and install it using the terminal to update you web browser ?? Thank you very much in advance

aventu How do you turn off the titlebar? It looks cool.

Scotty-Trees

Fatih19 Not OP, but in Firefox, top right click the settings/hamburger menu icon, then scroll down to where it says Customize and a new tab will open up to adjust some visual settings. If you look on the very bottom of the window you'll see a tick box for "Title Bar" and uncheck that to turn off the title bar.

Fatih19

Scotty-Trees Thanks, it looks like Chrome now.

I love Brave at the moment...

eljondy If you're going to go nuclear with it, it's probably better to do budgie-panel --replace &! instead. That will replace the current Budgie instance with a new one.

Scotty-Trees

The browser with the least amount of votes should get relegated to be drop kicked from the distro lol, jk 😂

Scotty-Trees You'll never take my Lynx. Everything I need is 250 clicks and scrolls away. You can view it through cool-retro-terminal, to boot, for the 1968 space launch feel, which is way before my computing time, but hey, forefathers and stuff.
PS. lynx before proprietary for sure (but kidding aside not my daily driver)

dbarron

Lol, not a bad point...a pretty democratic way of deciding.
