Ungoogled Chromium.

I was looking for private browsers, and found myself astonished at how the market is saturated in Chromium-based browsers, and how every website seems to only support theses browsers, so I had to accept that Chromium will be all there is until a new big thing appears, and wound up finding a Chromium fork that seems to remove all google aspects from it. I've had to tweak a few things but the experience has been very smooth so far.

Outside of Google blocking some of their websites from Firefox (the only one I can think of currently is Stadia Bluetooth Mode), which websites do you find that only support Chrome? I haven't found any.

I didn't mean it as in "it only works in Chrome", but how some websites just seem to ignore any problems that are in non-Chromium browsers.

Firefox because of the manifest v3 crap.

Before I switched back to Firefox, I was using Edge. Edge is probably the best browser out there currently. It has so many amazing features built in that make every other browser look featureless.

Even though manifest v3 is on hold, I don't care. I am staying on Firefox. Even though Mozilla broke label printing a few months ago, and despite bug reports being submitted, they haven't fixed it. Mozilla is definitely REALLY slow at development. (It took years for Firefox on Android to get pull to refresh, and it's still a buggy mess lol)

Mostly edge

It’s quite decent in terms of battery usage

And BingAI occasionally becomes useful for research

I like to split tasks/genres between browsers.

Chrome: day job Gmail, calendar etc, and other work related research Vivaldi: web dev testing Firefox: everything else

Firefox on mobile

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

Firefox.

I've been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I'm back with Firefox.

[–] Parsnip8904@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Bromite and Fennec as backup on mobile (one place where you should go with chromium since security really matters here and things need to be patched ASAP) and Firefox, Vivaldi and Chromium as backup on Linux.

I thought Vivaldi was a gimmick for a long time but it grows on you. I ended up recreating stuff like gestures and sidebar from Vivaldi in Firefox with extensions.

Brave - works mobile and desktop for me.

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

IceRaven (for the addons and a few enhancements) and Bromite. Both are not good choices as they are poorly supported, but that's the reality of mobile browsers I guess.

Tbh I hate mobile browsers in general. I don't understand why they have to be so crippled, especially FF and its forks that keep getting worse with every major version.

Arkenfox+medium mode ublock+bitwarden+libredirect. Slightly hardened brave on the rare occasion something doesnt work

Mull+ublock medium mode on mobile. Mulch for the same reasons as brave

I use Vivaldi, because it just has a better UI and better usability features.

[–] Mir@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

[–] okbin@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago
