Sadly not available on Linux, but Arc has the best tab management paradigm of any browser I’ve tried, by far. Pinned tabs with folders, workspaces, and home urls goes hard.
On the other end of the spectrum, I’m very fond of qtbrowser. If you want a keyboard centered workflow it’s hard to beat.
Oh snap, don’t mind if I do
Omg that looks amazing…
Thank you!
Sure does!
Qtbrowser? Or qutebrowser?
Firefox, Zen-Browser, Mull
Floorp with Sidebery for vertical tabs and tab groups
Desktop: Firefox with Betterfox user.js & Wavefox CSS theme
Mobile: Brave. The reason I’m using Brave is Firefox-based browsers on Android lack Site Isolation. Who protects you against a malicious site performing a Spectre-like attack to gain access to the memory of another website you have open. Chromium-based browsers like Brave do have this.
Yea but with Brave you’re just helping them continue the crypto scam. Rip.
How am I doing that? I don’t use crypto.
Firefox and Firefox Focus
Does links count? ;)
links --gui
Or old school Konqueror.
I use Firefox on my phone, and Chrome on my work computer.
ON my phone I use waterfox instead.
LibreWolf on everything that supports it (Windows/Mac/Linux) and Fennec F Droid on Android.
If you’re a LibreWolf user, then Mull might be up your alley to replace Fennec.
Try Waterfox on Android
LibreWolf on desktop and Mull on Android. Basically Firefox with a little more privacy.

The overhead and performance hit aren’t worth it for me in general since these browsers are set up to enforce secure connections as long as you don’t override it. And I don’t have to worry about government level website filtering. I do see the value in tunnels for stopping the ISPs from tracking and selling the list of sites you connect to, but I’d rather set up my own proxy for that if I felt it was worth it. It’s easy enough to set up a web proxy on a small, cheap, remote VPS or pay for a trustworthy service with no logging so the ISP would just see that connection and it would be way faster. I don’t see much value in using a Tor browser otherwise anymore now that HTTPS is ubiquitous and secure DNS exists, unless you want to access things not on the public web.
Firefox
There is no favorite. There is only the lesser of several evils, and usually it changes after a few years.
Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.
Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.
Every browser I use causes me to feel some negative reaction
Firefox everywhere. It’s not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.
Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).
There’s an extension (plus companion application) for running PWAs via Firefox. It has worked well for me.
Floorp has built in optional PWA feature, but is experimental.
NetSurf is closer to a browser.
NetSurf is a very barebones browser. It can fill a niche, but is not a daily driver where other options are available.
Which is not the case on Plan 9.
Huh, TIL NetSurf works on Plan9.
Gonna go ahead and be downvote sponge here: Brave. Its privacy features and integrated Adblock have no peer that I’ve found yet, and easy bookmark/history syncing across multiple devices.
Yeah the CEO is a POS. Find me a tech CEO that’s not, besides Meredith Whitaker.
Worried about privacy but uses a crypto scamming software. Weird flex but ok.
You can turn the crypto part off you know. They even tell you how to do it.
The fact that it’s even part of the software is a non starter for me. I don’t trust that company at all.
Fair enough. I agree for what it’s worth—just have yet to find a browser that meets my needs for both usability and privacy. Always happy to explore options and I do sometimes. Just always end up back with Brave because everything else I try ends up annoying me in some way or the other.
Honestly, I don’t get the hate for Brendan Eich, he created JavaScript (awkward design, but it was hugely successful) and co-founded Mozilla, so I think he was a fantastic influence for the open web until someone decided to make a big deal about his private donations. To be clear, I disagree with his political positions, but I don’t think they should have any bearing on his suitability as a leader at Mozilla, and I think Mozilla would be in a much better place had he stayed on as CEO. I like the initiative of Brave Search, and I think, in general, Brave is doing a lot of interesting things.
That said, I use Firefox because I believe strongly in open web standards, and Mozilla is the biggest competitor to Chromium’s rendering and JavaScript engine. I use Brave as a backup browser (i.e. testing for Chromium browsers, random pages that don’t work on FF, etc), but I won’t daily drive it while a credible alternative to Chromium’s rendering engine exists. I’m also disappointed at some of the choices they’ve made (e.g. the BAT thing should’ve been a way to pay to remove ads, not a way for users to get some kind of profit; I’d love to be able to pay a few cents here and there for ad-free content I like).
Mullvad Browser and stock Firefox on desktop
Cromite on Android
Firefox and Mull.
I use Firefox on my work computer (macOS) and personal computers (Linux), and Mull on my phone because it’s available on F-Droid.
