There are constantly a zillion, repetitive “Which browser should I use?”, “What browser should I use for [insert here]”, “Which browser should I switch to?”, “Browser X or Browser Y?”, “What’s your favorite browser?”, "What do you think about browser X? and “What browser has feature X?” posts that are making things a mess here and making it annoying for subscribers to sort through and read other types of posts.
If you would like to keep the mess under control a little bit, instead of making a new post for questions like the above, ask in a comment in this thread instead. Then, one can choose to follow this thread if they want.
Which Browser for android has extension support and Oled black widget? Been using Kiwi just cuz of its widget but unfortunately it does not support extensions anymore because of being outdated.
I tried so many apps but they all comes with greyish black widget. Help
And what I mean by that is a no frills browser. No Bitcoin, built in VPN, etc
It’s just that Firefox has so many issues and incompatibilities that I need a chromium base, but every chromium browser I’ve tried had so much bloat it’s wild.
Been using Opera GX and Chrome back and forth. I love the flashy UI and customizations of Opera GX, but it’s rather slow (probably due to all the flashy-ness). Chrome is faster, but idk if it’s ideal anymore. I have 32 GB of RAM, and Windows 11. Would rather it not use an excessive amount of RAM but if it has to, so be it. Curious about Arc, Brave, and Firefox. But open to other suggestions!
Is there a simple, bare-bone, Chromium-based browser that has zero bloat? The only things I want is:
Support for extensions;
Some form of ad-blocker (via extensions or built-in);
Being available at both Windows and Android;
Open-source or trusted company behind it.
Everything I come upon has VPNs, AI bullshit, Crypto bullshit, super-fancy-tab-management that only makes it complicated for no reason, etc. Is there anything that I can just open a tab, open a website and enjoy the internet?
Looking for a browser thats lightweight and modern enough for a 2015 laptop that uses linux. I like the via browser on android is there something similar to it?
I’m trying to find a browser that has a good adblocker and consumes the least amount of ram possible and supports chrome extensions. I’ve been told OperaGX for these things but I hate the gimmicky stuff and just want something clean and simple without any of the bloat. I’m currently using Brave which I love but sometimes I find it using a lot of memory. Any recommendations?
Does anyone know good Arc alternatives for IOS and Windows. Few things I need are, some sort of tab syncing, vertical tabs, and pinned tabs if possible, but it’s fine if it’s bookmarks
Hello, so I had been using Arc for sometime, but I’ve been having issues and apparently it’s abandon, which I was unaware of until today, I’ve used a variety of browsers from Brave, to Viviada, but I am not sure what’s good or what’s safe or whatnot to use right not, that has good privacy, etc.
Thought about things of course like Firefox, but I would like some level of customization or looking nice at the same time, primary concern though is privacy, then features or customization ability.
Best browser for * Shopping * ? I’ve tried firefox, chrome, and safari and my computer about near crashes on any shopping site. Also I use an external monitor which i think has made it slightly worse but shopping has been painful for my laptop the past few years regardless. So I guess I’m looking for images and speed. Don’t need video or anything else.
Truely, I’ve tried all browsers in Linux (Fedora & Ubuntu), MacOS and Windows 11.
Opera is the slowest thing I’ve ever seen. Always stuck when try to use with much more multiple tabs.
Brave is a nothing added except adblock addon Chromium based noneless browser.
Edge is really good to manage resources and some functions but somethings is really buggy. I’ve reported them but no one look that problem and nearly all users face that issue (about with buggy workspaces).
Firefox is really good for privacy (still now?) but not work much stable for YouTube. For example skipping videos latency is really feel slowly and much more RAM usage then Chromium browsers.
Arc is not really so good, I haven’t gotten used to opening new tabs and other shortcuts yet, and I don’t plan to.
Chrome is really good but privacy zero solution and not have remarkable futures or anything news.
Safari is the sh*tty thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Please, let’s stop praising in vain.
For privacy and vanilla solution can be a Firefox or more futures and try to new things like AI etc. can try Edge Browser.
I have also experimented with Vivaldi and many other browsers, but I won’t comment on them.
I’m looking for a fast, consistent, reliable (which means the same thing as consistent) browser for Mac. Safari hogged application memory (so did chrome) and I think a lot of other browsers (Opera, Brave, Zen- which I’m currently using) are too feature-rich. Just something simple that will get the job done quickly.
EDIT: I’ve used (and don’t like): Brave, Opera, Opera GX, Chrome, Safari, Orion, DDG, Zen, Arc, Beam, SigmaOS
I love the Opera browser. I love the sidebar with the workspaces and the integration with whatsapp, facebook messenger, chatgpt, instagram, TikTok, x and Spotify. I love the speed dial feature. What I don’t love is that it is now owned by a Chinese company which probably means they are privy to what I do in the web. Sure it’s not like I’m some big shot who the chinese would bother with but part oft he info I manage through the browser includes some finance which I would rather keep as private as possible. Is there another browser which has similar features, at least the ones I mentioned, but affords me more privacy?
I currently use OperaGX because i found it via moist critikal’s many sponsors form them, I’ve looked into more of their past and Im looking to swap to something with seem more privacy but I enjoy the customization, and features it offers as well as the convenience of google. As well as something that isn’t as bloaty as chrome… any thoughts? TLDR; looking for soemthing that Looks nice, has privacy, good features/customization, convenience, non bloaty, (maybe mobile sync, sorry if this is dumb question I’m new idk)
Currently I’m running mainly Brave (without the crypto stuff) but I was looking for some reviews around the Thorium Browser and Zen, if it is worth switching. I don’t mind tweaking settings to improve the speed/privacy/security of the browser. Also any benefits besides the good performance on the Thorium? and the security and privacy on Zen? Thanks!
