I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

I switched from Firefox to Floorp and haven't looked back. Less bloated, same features, haven't found an extension that isn't compatible yet.

Same with Fennec on Android.

This article is pretty poor overall. Why recommend Arc, a browser that requires a user account to even open a webpage, and which the author himself said will probably be disappearing in the near future as part of their own product strategy?

Lame clickbait aimed at nobody.

1. Opera

Aaaand tab closed.

Opera is and always was trash.

Great opportunity to mention Brave is owned by a dipshit right-wing homophobe.

Me using Firefox until Orion comes out:

ZDnet 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I’ve really been enjoying Vivaldi. It’s also Chromium-based. It’s easy to customize and it has really good tab management. You can group tabs into workspaces, open split panes, and – this one I really appreciate – you can stack tabs by domain. Added bonus is that the company behind it, Vivaldi Technologies, is Norwegian, which ticks the ‘shop European’ box for me.

As for ad blocking, the shittiness of manifest v3 made me look at options outside the browser rather than rely on extensions. These days I pass all my traffic through adguard, which filters out ads from the request responses. All in all this has been a positive step, because now I can play around with any browser without ever seeing ads.

Zen browser is really nice imo. The developers update it very frequently.

One drawback is that it lacks widevine support, which means that things like netflix won’t work.

Ironically, I could not reach the end of the list because the fucking ads kept reloading the page and scrolling me to the top. Anyone know which of these 6 would block that?

Chrome !=Chromium. The tite is correct.

Firefox
Firefox
Firefox
Firefox derivatives
...

I may get some hate for this but Safari is superior IMO. Especially with the private relay I get with my iCloud+ plan.

Of that list, Zen is the only one really worth considering. And then you have the “but the best one that supports widevine” issue.

This is just a list of browsers with apparently good tab management.

Arc is very nice for my workflow, quite a different take on what a browser can be. But I’d say you’re not missing out too much as it’s, unfortunately, no longer in active development.

They still update chromium regularly, but they’re no longer working on functionality or bug fixes because it’s “done” or something. 🤷‍♂️

I didn't see Waterfox mentioned in the article or comments, so I'm giving it a shout out now. Firefox is still my #1 browser, which I have synced to all my critical accounts, and use very cautiously, only using a few trustwothy extensions. However, when I want to explore unfamiliar domains or experiment with lesser-known browser extensions, I've relied on the equally dependable Waterfox browser. It's fast, free, and 99% the same as Firefox except it's a completely different app so you can basically have 2 Firefoxes set up and customized for completely different roles. Between the two, I can keep Chrome frozen on my phone and off my desktop (although I have a portable Chromium on USB for emergencies).

Do any of these sync with the Firefox Android app? Or do they have their own?

Anyone have any thought on Orion? I know it lets you use chrome and Firefox extensions and safari/macos features. Is this the right direction or a triple hitter of danger?

Chrome is not the same thing as Chromium.

ITT: people who like to argue about all manner of things except whether or not Chrome and Chromium are the same thing.

Its actually pretty important that some normal traffic does flow through tor. If you dont mind the speed then its perfectly okay* to do all your web browsing through tor

*there are some caveats here but its not about the network really
