Which internet browser?

[dr_st]

You know the thing I still hate about modern webrowsers? The fact they took away my ability to hit backspace to go back a page. That was my favorite feature!

At least alt+left arrow and mouse back button are still there.
None of the browsers allow keyboard customizations anymore?

Looks like there’s another vote for safari now!

I've been using LibreWolf for 1-2 years by now. It's a Firefox-based option with more privacy but it lacks behind on updates by about a day on average. Personally, I believe it's a little too extreme in some ways. For example, it deleted cookies after each session default. But you can customise the browser a fair bit.

Still safari here.

Sounds fantastic!

Still luakit for me, despite the various issues and dodginesses. I have Firefox as a backup if any site doesn't work…

 

[Zarcatus]

Oh right. You also need a backup for LibreWolf. It doesn't support WebGL and probably a few other things. So you can't use RayMap. I haven't heard of luakit before but it seems to be a pretty good option, ngl.

I also occasionally use Google, but I find safari more convenient.

 

[Pirez]

Firefox all the way.

Still lazily have been using chrome but I should switch to firefox soon.

 

[The Jonster]

Using firefox right now in fact!

 

[EdgyRabbid]

I use Firefox, chrome and safari rn

 

[PluMGMK]

I use Firefox at university actually, and I used to use it at work. With vertical tabs and the Tridactyl extension, it's almost as comfortable as luakit to me

I'm still using Slimjet mixed with Brave for personal browsing, and Chrome on my work PCs (because that's what the corporate IT supports).

Another case of "oh yeah, this software that sends data to Google is secure, you're not allowed to use anything that doesn't send data to Google"

I'm a pro elite gam0r using opera gx. On my linux mint I'm using firefox though.

 

[The Jonster]

I use Firefox, opera, and safari

 

[DaveRattlehead]

I'm still using Slimjet

Are you happy with this one?

 

[dr_st]

I'm still using Slimjet

Are you happy with this one?

Yes, most of the time! At one point they had one completely broken build that kept crashing all the time for ~3 days before they fixed it. I got fed up and switched to Brave on one or two of my PCs during this time. Brave is nice having the built-in adblocker, but uBlock Origin (Lite) still works on Slimjet, so I have no problem.

From your experience, would you say it's a fast browser? Does it consume many resources from your computer, like Chrome does?

I'd say it consumes pretty much the same resources as Chrome (memory-wise at least), and it may be a little bit faster.
