  There is only one answer, Firefox or a derivative. Anything else is a vote for a closed commercial web.

    Some websites only work with Chromium (yes they suck), when that happens you would need Vivaldi, or maybe Ungoogled Chomium

      Yes or sometimes it is just that the Firefox version is too old or your privacy setting too strict. So updating to latest version and switching to a new clean standard profile can help.

    Firefox is spying on you, so a derivative is the only option. I also user Ungoogled Chromium because it’s really nice and works well after a couple of tweaks

      Why do you think Firefox is spying on you any more then any if the other major browsers?

  I’m loving zen browser so far, made the switch about a month ago, is firefox but with a actually great ui, a feel extra features and good customization

    I’m enjoying Zen browser in general but still facing several issues with it from time to time. Nothing major, just small nuisanses here and there.

    I use it alongside Vivaldi since I often have to be logged in into two different sessions for the same site and it’s just easier to have two browsers for that. Vivaldi is a lot more stable and so I use it as the main browser - but everytime it updates I need to modify a JS file to tweak something in the UI to make it the way I like it to be. When using vertical tabs + tab groups + two layers of tabs (one sidebar showing the tab groups and a second sidebar showing the tabs inside the selected group), the maximum tab width is applied to both sidebars together instead of individually, so I modify the JS file to double that max width. I’ve automated it by now but it still annoys me that I keep having to do this.

    But I think Vivaldi is probably the only browser that even has the ability to show tabs in that way, so I can’t complain that much.

  I can vouch for Vivaldi (as recommended by the article). Its pretty good.

  Haven’t tried Librewolf yet, still using good old Firefox

    i use Librewolf, it looks and feels exactly like Firefox

    I have used Vivaldi as my main browser pretty much since the initial release and it’s great.

      Yup It works well, respects it users, and is very handy when you need a Chromium browser

  librewolf or palemoon (for firefox before the webextensions apocalypse)

  I’m using DuckDuckGo without issues. I really like how it’s built. You can watch youtube ideos through a filter that blocks out ads. It’s amazing. I love it so much. I switched over to DuckDuckGo just recently. I think this might be my favourite.

    As stated by @furrowsofar@beehaw.org Firefox or a derivative. I use Firefox Developer Edition and have learned how to turn off all of the spying crap. Otherwise, I’ll LibreWolf every once in a while.

  Correct answer, all of them… except chrome, edge (same thing), or safari (because fuck apple).

  Don’t use a catch all browser, have a browser for a specific task and use different ones.

  Floorp has been good to me.

  Ironfox and occasionally when it don’t work, Librewolf does.

• DreamyRin@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  currently using Vivaldi and I love it, but eyeing a switch over to Floorp (fork of Firefox) when uBlock is officially done for in chrome browsers. I’ll still need Vivaldi for some things, but I can’t live with ads.
