Ask Lemmy

Mostly vivaldi, but I've been experimenting with Zen too, a Firefox fork. I really liked what I've seen so far. The layout is unique, workspaces and tab management is pretty nice.

I’m a filthy causal… I use Safari on Mac and iOS. It’s fine. It works. I don’t really care that much about my browser. On Linux I like Firefox, but on my RaspberryPi’s I just use Chromium. It’s fine.

Librewolf, although i tested zen browser for a while and since then i am running a vertical tab bar - it made me realize that this way the screen space is used much better! Had the same lag issues with zen, but i'll keep it installed and will check it out again later, because stuff like the sneak peek is great!

I've been using Zen for about a month now and I'm very happy with it. I like the design and feel of it, and it's actively being developed all the time. Don't think I've had any significant bugs (except a few very minor ones) or issues whilst using it yet.

Librewolf. Firefox as a backup. Chrome as a backup-backup.

IronFox. Vanadium as a backup.

I'm up to my neck in privacy settings, systems, extensions, etc. LW does everything I need, with the exception of a couple different sites (glares at cpanel). I have been rocking it for a couple years now. IronFox is a fork of Mull, which is now defunct. Vanadium comes with GrapheneOS and cannot be removed, so it gets the backseat treatment (it's fine - but I need my extensions and deep settings, yeah yeah it's supposed to be more secure but safer isn't necessarily also more private).

Plus, LW is a fucking wolf browser. Hello. Wolves are #1, and this statement is absolutely not biased because I have a hybrid wolf fursona. Absolutely not. 0%.

(maybe like 5% okay wolves are awesome)

E: 🐺

Cromite. A de-googled, hardened fork of Chromium. Not perfect by any means. But it gets the job done admirably.

Forefox, also Chromium occasioanly of I am in a hurry and some asshat makes it difficult to use Firefox.

Playing with Zen.

My OS is Linux Mint

Vivaldi, hands down my favorite. I haven't had any bug issues of pc freezes or anything. And I have maaaany tabs open. Built-in stuff like ad blocker etc means less 3rd party extensions, I cannot live without mouse gestures, the multiple workspaces is perfect for me with all my tabs open (neatly sorted). Only downside imo is that it's chromium.

Ironfox here, through Tor and ProtonVPN.

Firefox but it's so slow on Android. I've just accepted there is no good browser. Just least annoying. And somehow that's Firefox even with all the useless crap and pop ups they keep adding

Laptop is Fedora Workstation. Here I use Brave for logins and LibreWolf+UBO is my main "forgetful" browser.

Phone is GrapheneOS - I also use Brave for logins. Ironfox is my main browser which comes with UBO preinstalled plus a few extra blocklists which I did add to LibreWolf..

Librewolf and Ironfox are synced through a Mozilla account.

Waterfox, privacy focused Firefox fork. Its awesome.

What about the Mullvad browser? Seems to work well and is very privacy focused. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it yet...

Over the last two and half years (since I quit Windows and Vivaldi and went FLOSS only), bouncing around between Firefox, Floorp, Zen, Firedragon and Falkon as my principal browser, while also checking out Pale Moon, Servo, Dillo, Netsurf, Agregore, Kristall. Also "special purpose browsers" like Station, Ferdium and FreeTube. (Is FreeTube a browser? I think it's an Electron app, which is basically a Blink/Chromium browser, used to browse just one website in this case.)

Currently on my laptop:

• Fully-loaded Zen (multiple extensions and a couple of Zen mods) as my main browser
• Fairly minimal Firefox (just uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger) for streaming music (e.g Spotify without ads)
• Ferdium for email and IM
• FreeTube for YouTube (LibRedirect extension in Zen sends YT links to FreeTube automatically)
• Ungoogled Chromium as a backup in case some site just won't work with a non-Blink browser. Haven't used it in months.

Chrome for pages in Japanese I need to translate.

Chrome/Edge for certain Japanese govt websites that won't work in firefox (taxes and other such via the My Number program). I mostly use edge for this just so I can have the other pages of documentation open to translate in Chrome :/

Firefox for everything else.

Firefox. Little fuckery, and it's what I'm used to.

Including browser names in bold.

My strong preference is toward Pale Moon, but I have been using it less and less lately. Instead when I want to use a more standards-compliant (i.e non-Blink) rendering engine, I use SeaMonkey, which includes a browser, an email/newsgroup/RSS client, and an IRC client.

Lately though, I flip between Firefox, Waterfox, Librewolf, and Tor Browser - they're all just "Firefox, and this thing that could be an addon if addons still worked right". I truly despise the fact that they moved to Google WebExtensions, and have so many other Google shackles - so I'm glad that they're losing the money.

Oh, I also use Links in my terminal. It's a good alternative to curl.

I use Vanadium/Trivalent (GrapheneOS fork of mobile Chromium and its desktop equivalent) for general internet use on a general-use system, and Firefox inside of specific qubes for specific purposes otherwise.

On a general-use system, the additional security of Vanadium and Trivalent give me a bit of peace of mind when using the same browser for admin work, sensitive stuff like banking, and general browsing.

With the Qubes model, everything is segmented and isolated anyway, so I can use Firefox, which despite its flaws has been my favorite since the Netscape days.

Chrome, as a kid, then FF. Then to FF nightly. On mobile, I also used DDG (mainly for the tracker block thing), and Kiwi, until FF nightly supported browser extensions.

Qutebrowser and Firefox depending on what I'm browsing as qutebrowser is nicer but firefox has better adblock and addon support. Firefox with tridactyl is really good these days and very close to qutebrowser ux quality. Chromium for web development as chrome devtools are still unmatched unfortunately.

Vivaldi as my main browser and Librewolf as my second. I love the tab management and workspaces on Vivaldi, there’s nothing else like it that I’ve found. I use librewolf for all my docker local host needs. I actually really quite like it and would probably switch over but the workspace/tab thing keeps me on Vivaldi.

It took a long time to switch to Firefox, but it is now my main browser. I mean I really liked the Mozilla suite and Firefox just didn't seem ready for awhile, but eventually I made the move.

Firefox ever since.

mullvad browser + librewolf

LibreWolf and Iron Fox
