"Fast" means "close" or "almost" in German. Yeah, I agree.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Firefox or any other non chromium based browser

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Genuinely don't know of any others but Firefox. I do a little lynx sometimes for super sus stuff but it's barely a browser....

[–] Jumper775@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There’s WebKit and KHTML based ones, although I don’t know of any mainstream browsers that use those aside from safari or iOS. Other niche options exist for Linux.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also DuckDuckGo's browser - but I'm not sure what it's based on.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 2 points 1 year ago

It's Blink based as far as I know, well at least on Android, iOS still doesn't allow other browsers.

[–] Veraxus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only others I know of are Mac-only: Safari and Orion.

Orion is great. I wish there was a Linux version.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gnome Epiphany (renamed to Gnome Web at some point?) uses Safari's rendering engine.

Never heard of Orion before!

[–] Veraxus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Orion is by the developers of Kagi (a paid search engine that is actually as good, if not better, than Google) and has ad-blocking and anti-tracking built in natively. It's awesome.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Oooooh, now you've got me interested. I've heard good things about Kagi's paid search and yet to give it a try.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's Konqueror. I don't know how secure it is, though...

[–] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Konqueror was discontinued a couple years ago, unfortunately. Edit: apparently it wasn't.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last stable release was 43 days ago, according to Wikipedia.

[–] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Really? I guess I was wrong.

[–] 257m@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

w3m is nice in terms of text based browsers although it can't run javascript

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Opera, Safari, Brave, Lynx, Edge, Tor, and some others. There are a bunch of derivative browsers too.

[–] shinysquirrel@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

isn't opera chromium based?

[–] TeckFire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It is now, but it didn’t use to be

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Brave too, I thought? And Tor is based on Firefox iirc

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Brave too, I thought?

[–] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There are chromium browsers that respect privacy. Vanadium for example

[–] far_university1990@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Fast haben sie ein nützliches Programm geschaffen.

They almost made a useful program.

A depressed loaf of bread taught me "Mist" means "crap" in German

i use it with firefox. very solid adblock. never had a single issue over about three years.

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How neutered is that for Manifest V3?

[–] mrcarrot@lemmy.calebmharper.com 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Firefox, it's not. YMMV in other browsers.

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I guess the Sync app uses chromium so clicking the link took me to the Chrome extension so I thought that is what you explicitly linked.

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite a lot. There's a lite version for Mv3, but it's hands are tied

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago
[–] TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

a question, what is the difference between uBlock and uBlock Origin?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin is the real deal, don't use uBlock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#uBlock

[–] hunt4peas@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The best out there!

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its almost as fast as firefox.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This thread has more drama than the opera.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, that's why I use Firefox lol

[–] sederx@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

reminder that any proprietary piece of software is technically malware

[–] SirHery@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Edge sure feels like malware. Installs itself without asking. Spams you into oblivion when you use it. I hab real malware that was less intrusive.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

Well... thats just unfortunate :D

No, thanks. I use Ungoogled Chromium.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Ungoogled Chromium is a cool project I highly respect, but I think we're at a point where no browser using Chromium can be called ungoogled in good conscience anymore.
