CURRENT BROWSER SETUP 2024 BY MOI:
Linux = Chromium, Mullvad Browser
Chromebook = Google Chrome, Brave (crosvm for porn)
GraphmemeOS = Vanadium
thx for reading my blog
>GraphmemeOS = Troonfox
https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing >Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one.
the 'trojan' are the countless 'future web standards' google is pushing like hell in its rendering engine.
I don't think you can easily remove it. it's probably viciously entangled in the libs.
Firefox is the least annoying for me but it still sucks dick
Every chromium alternative I try has some issues
Vivaldi has no touchpad gestures (you have to install some extension for that, and zooming in and out can't be done if you want ctrl + mousewheel to work), janky
Brave and Edge don't have the nicest vertical tabs, pretty sluggish there and honestly really fricking bloated
Chrome has nothing, why do people keep using this? What's the point when anything else exists?
Also ad blocking. I don't think I can live without proper ad blocking
Edge seems to have 30 features I don't want too.
Opera also exists, but the only thing I could like about that piece of garbage is being able to paste images directly into its filepicker or whatever. It's another pointless browser.
Firefox is flawed but does most of what I would want.
NTA but I sometimes use edge for shitposting here and it often freezes and hangs for up to 30 seconds while loading pages. Might be an extension I have but I don't have anything installed in edge that I don't also have in Firefox
I have a similar feeling. Like, it sucks, but it's less bad browser.
Also, the problem just escalates when you start to take into accounts thing such as syncing and mobile browser. My ideal browser would be something like: >firefox as base >sidebery extension for vertical tabs, but build natively >the mobile android would just be kiwi browser, cause firefox mobile absolutely sucks
Why does everything based off firefox on android not let me just have a speed dial of bookmarks in a new tab? I fricking hate it but I like adblocking.
>firefox
gecko is in that many websites dont work with it these days, that's not even mentioning mozillas constant push of sjw bullshit which should have nothing to fricking do with a fricking web browser >chrome, vivaldi, and opera
steals ur info >edge
Started out great, but is now bloated to frick and doesn't do sync with end to end encryption.
The only real browser that is usable in a day to day is Brave - but that's also sketchy with the fricking insertion of brave referral codes everywhere, and it's also getting bloated to frick.
Any browser that isn't, edge, chrome, firefox, or brave isn't worth mentioning.
No, mullvad, icefox and librewolf is not good or "decent" browsers.
The UI is sluggish
I'll be waiting for hovering over the tabs on the side and it takes like a fricking minute. Since on firefox you can use CSS you can make that fast.
Also when using a mouse I'm used to a TST extension that allows me to scroll through tabs. That's doable on Vivaldi but I haven't seen any other chromium based web browser where you can do that.
List of browsers that supports both Windows and Android >Chrome >Edge >Opera >Vivaldi >Brave >Firefox >Tor
Firefox and Tor are obviously not compatible with the modern web, take way too many resources, way too slow, not secure on android, etc. Opera and Vivaldi are chink tier bloatware and proprietary. That leaves you with one backup browser ie Chrome on Android, Edge on Windows, and your main browser Brave since it's FOSS, has a built in ad-block, only browser on the list with proper randomized fingerprinting, and has perfect chromium performance and compatibility with the web. As simple as that.
I mean, you can trust any moron on the internet or check it out yourself. Brave uses pretty much the same way of adblocking that uBO does, it has the same default filter lists enabled out of the box when you install the browser. If brave is failing to block an ad, then so is Firefox+uBO. This is not anything complicated that requires a big boy with big boy pants to sweat thinking about, you can just open brave's github and review the adblock and then compare it to uBO.
It doesn't get security updates for chromium on time and I don't trust one dude to take care of the browser properly.
Brave is too shady of a company and has had too many PR disasters for me to trust it. Brave is an ad company. Theres literally no reason you should trust brave over google.
>There's nothing to "trust", it's a foss program.
I guess you dont know what trust means

How new are you? What is there to trust mouthbreather, the only drama the company has had is: >CEO is a bigot that hates gays >Brave supports crypto currencies and NFTs >Brave added referal links to some ecelebs yt channel, literally who cares >Brave has too much stuff that not every goyim might like packaged like VPN, WebTorrent, Tor, and AI
And none of this is dangerous for your security or privacy, and is usually overblown by homosexuals who are too emotional to think rationally and would rather get fingerprinted and have security/privacy issues than stop using pozilla.

What is there to answer, you seem confused. Re-read the posts little man
It's basically just Chromium with Adblock Plus installed, which is an odd choice given their shady past and the existence of ublock origin, you're probably better off with installing Chromium/Ungoogle Chromium rather than this.
Brave is too shady of a company and has had too many PR disasters for me to trust it. Brave is an ad company. Theres literally no reason you should trust brave over google.
To me is the aggressive shilling that really puts me off. It's not that bad of a browser but the way it's shoved down my throat by some people here makes me really think
uninstall brave, then download it again and this time when it asks you yes/no admin permissions when you double click it select No and then say Yes to installing without admin permissions. it should make a folder in AppData instead of C Program Files this time and wont be able to install the VPN service you don't want
It's the only browser that has proper security and privacy settings for both Windows(Linux) and Android. Would I like a version of it that was tailored exactly how I like it? Yes. Does that exist? No.
>proper security and privacy settings
Define this. You can't. You got memed into brave marketing. Its just chrome with adware and an adblocker
It's the only web browser in existance that passes very specific setup that I require >Based on Chromium for Performance/Compatibility/Android Sandbox Security >Has both Android and Windows versions >Has Background play on mobile for music when I'm reading books. >Has a built in proper filter list based adblock or supports uBO >Is FOSS and gets day zero security chromium patches applied on the same day as chrome team pushes them out
That's all I need, yet somehow Brave is the only browser in the world that fullfills that basic as frick shit. It comes with extras like being the only to have proper randomized fingerprinting out of any major web browser, not even hardened arkenfox firefox or librewolf has that properly. Not sure why it's so difficult for you morons to believe that someone likes something you don't.

Very specific setup was meant to be ironic, I just want basic shit that most browsers have you stupid moronic mulatto.
Chromium base necessary for android security, support for two most popular OS, Background play that Samsung Internet has, Proper adblock that is literally necessary for security, and FOSS that is literally necessary for privacy. If your browser doesn't have this it's just pure shit and you should feel bad like the subhuman freak you are.

>Proper adblock that is literally necessary for security
That would be umatrix, not ublock.
True, and that's exactly why I use Chrome, because it just werks and there's millions of codemonkeys updating broken extensions that I never have a problem.
Ungoogled is great too but manual updates is moronic in the year of our lord 2024
if you like firefox >librewolf >harden firefox yourself
if you like chrome >brave >ungoogled chromium
if you like opera >vivaldi
if your system is old or you just like old firefox >pale moon
if your system is mega old >netsurf
its not that hard
Chrome was always shitty and anti-user. Doesn't even have a menu bar. Manifest V3 will be the final nail in its coffin. Firefox is a shell of its former self. It's funded by Google, it's only purpose is to be an antitrust shield for them. It's been getting shittier and shittier ever since they nuked their old add-on ecosystem to be compatible with Chrome. >other browsers
There are no other browsers. Best you can hope is a fork of an old, non-soi version of Firefox, that's still somehow compatible with the modern web. Everybody's changing shit to break old browsers. Even IQfy did it a few months ago.
Yeah lets ignore the only browser that gets 500+ million dollars from google every year, then lets call botnet at browsers that gets money from having ie. bing as search engine.
Firefox user are the most hypocritical little shits, I was a firefox user when firefox was good, I was there when they put opt-in telemetry and even defended it, I fought and failed when they made it opt-out instead, I call their bullshit when they stated that web-extensions were necessary cause firefox didn't have an extension sdk (jetpack was there and was more powerful than crippled extensions), also called its bullshit every time they said that web-extensions were gonna be as flexible as xul.
I saw them discuss that the association with cliqz in Germany shouldn't have any banner or way for users to notice cause the data of the users will be biased if they know they're being spied on.
They decided that only their glorious telemetry and their interpretation of it was the way to chose what to remove or change in firefox, discussions were promptly marked as advocacy, users ignored...
I took the only sane decision, I stopped contributing, bug reporting, recommending and finally using firefox in hopes that they'll start listening when they drop from 10% market share, then 7% then 5%.
Now with 3% they are still happily taking google money and wasting 80% of it on random bullshit instead of developing firefox.
I'm not tobin yet again, I know of two tobins that have caused some amount of controversy, the one from palemoon yet palemoon was supposed to be a hard fork with its own goana engine and all, so I don't really know why his opinion would matter for firefox at all.
And the one that made the ES6 modules, the controversy for this one was quite limited and I doubt anyone at IQfy now anything about.
So which one? the palemoon one? the es6 one? a third option that i don't know about?
There is literally nothing wrong with chromium, this argument was and always will be moronic. Chromium is as free and respecting of users as any Firetroony fork is.

>firefox
I'd recommend those two to someone.

What would you charge about the open source ones Chrome or Firefox
Troonfox.
Chromium is still infested with google's trojan even without chrome
What is the trojan? Maybe it can be removed
the 'trojan' are the countless 'future web standards' google is pushing like hell in its rendering engine.
I don't think you can easily remove it. it's probably viciously entangled in the libs.
I stick with Firefox for now because others suck even more
Firefox is the least annoying for me but it still sucks dick

Really? Edge generally gets shat on for literally everything except for performance.
NTA but I sometimes use edge for shitposting here and it often freezes and hangs for up to 30 seconds while loading pages. Might be an extension I have but I don't have anything installed in edge that I don't also have in Firefox
Microsoft Edge is the best of any of those.
That has never happened to me.
I have a similar feeling. Like, it sucks, but it's less bad browser.
Also, the problem just escalates when you start to take into accounts thing such as syncing and mobile browser. My ideal browser would be something like:

>that meme
I haven't had an error message like that in over a decade.
Great to see you morons still having hourly browser wars threads. Which one in pic related should I use on android?
Mulch for security and Mull for privacy
Mulch would be great if it had adblocking
kys arkentroony
I use mainly mull and mulch as a secondary browser.
Cromite. It's based off Bromite. Lets me move the address bar to the bottom. Love it.
Kiwi or Edge Beta and get uBlock Origin
Why does everything based off firefox on android not let me just have a speed dial of bookmarks in a new tab? I fricking hate it but I like adblocking.
All email client are shit

Firefox and Tor are obviously not compatible with the modern web, take way too many resources, way too slow, not secure on android, etc. Opera and Vivaldi are chink tier bloatware and proprietary. That leaves you with one backup browser ie Chrome on Android, Edge on Windows, and your main browser Brave since it's FOSS, has a built in ad-block, only browser on the list with proper randomized fingerprinting, and has perfect chromium performance and compatibility with the web. As simple as that.
Be Brave.
I'm watching someone right now saying that he had to switch over to firefox from brave to avoid youtube ads, so that built in ad block must suck balls
I mean, you can trust any moron on the internet or check it out yourself. Brave uses pretty much the same way of adblocking that uBO does, it has the same default filter lists enabled out of the box when you install the browser. If brave is failing to block an ad, then so is Firefox+uBO. This is not anything complicated that requires a big boy with big boy pants to sweat thinking about, you can just open brave's github and review the adblock and then compare it to uBO.
Cromite has windows support now and is better than Brave.
It doesn't get security updates for chromium on time and I don't trust one dude to take care of the browser properly.

Who would have thought
use ungoogled chromium
Most ass-suckers browse
If you're on windows you already have a chromium browser installed so the only real alternative you have is Firefox.
whats a good non mainstream browser with speed dial and support for chrome extensions , and me being able to import my profile?
how about you just use chrome and stop thinking so deeply about your browser
where's the fun in that?
I recently switched to GNOME web, it fulfills all my web browsing needs and has extensions support.
firefox is pretty good, only wish it was as customizable as vivaldi
How do you remove the bravevpn thing from brave? I disable the services and delete the exes and when I restart my pc it comes back
reinstall brave but this time without admin permissions
how do I do that
uninstall brave, then download it again and this time when it asks you yes/no admin permissions when you double click it select No and then say Yes to installing without admin permissions. it should make a folder in AppData instead of C Program Files this time and wont be able to install the VPN service you don't want

note I said "best" not greatest
When the AGI finally arrives, the first thing i will ask it is to make the Netscape browser for modern Linux with no telemetry.
I like thorium. The Dev is based too.
