Poll: What browser do you use?

[Melooon]

I use Waterfox

I would avoid Waterfox these days; I read that its been taken over by quite a nasty company with a very bad reputation for privacy

that don't have the modern 'flat' design

The most retro browser is SeaMonkey, it has proper 90s style themes - its a lil clunky though, and its not as fast as mainstream browsers. You can look at enabling CSS styling in Firefox, that can do a lot, although its not well documented.. theming is really very hard to do these days!

You know, this is the most frustrating part to me about choosing a web browser. I'm with Firefox for now, but it seems every browser eventually gets snapped up by some nasty company and then I have to go searching all over again. Keeping my bookmarks is really, really important for me, so it's a pain in the butt to switch often.

If anyone knows of browser with a proven history of privacy that HASN'T fallen prey, I'd be interested to know. It's exhausting keeping up with browser changes!

@TheFrugalGamer: To answer the question of browser privacy, have a look at the Digdeeper website (https://digdeeper.club/articles/browsers.xhtml). Big Firefox critic, and 100% honest.

The big web out there is doomed...
Google rules it basically. Poor chap Moonchild with his Pale Moon browser can't keep up. Too many sites got wrecked on Pale Moon.

Well, the little independents Netsurf and Dillo don't spy on you. But those browsers don't work on half of the sites out there.

Well, me? I use Pale Moon and Netscape. For the 1% of sites, that aren't working there, Icecat and Firefox do it. If you pay me some money, I'll use Edge and Chrome too!

I use Pale Moon with some of my own modifications for privacy purposes. It's a touch slower than the browser I was previously using [Firefox] and some sites don't 100% work on it, but really most of the sites I use work exactly the same as they did in Firefox and Pale Moon has all of the extensions that I used in Firefox, including the one that was most important to me: panorama tabs. (:

Mainly Vivaldi, since its interface doesn't look big and clunky like it was designed for a tablet (Edge and Chrome), it's not uber-slow (Pale Moon) and it has a more customizable interface than modern Firefox. (If Classic Theme Restorer worked, I'd be back on Firefox in a heartbeat.) I use SeaMonkey as my backup browser, since in my experience it works way better and faster than Pale Moon, and it has a nice retro interface.

Librewolf all the way. It's an active, maintained, privacy friendly and functional Firefox fork. Works on all sites (even if you have to enable/disable some privacy settings for some sites to work)

[teatime]

i'm using chrome despite its privacy issues and my distaste for google, i'm planning on moving over to librewolf soon since it seems like the best in terms of privacy :>

[Melooon]

Iv been using Firefox Developer Edition a lot recently 

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/

Im not 100% how it differs from the regular version, but it seems to have slightly more advanced inspector tools and more beta features, and has some safety checks disabled because it assumes you know what you're doing - all of that is handy for me!

On laptop I use Vivaldi! it has become my favorite browser. Before that, I used Opera and Opera GX and Chrome. I also used Firefox and Internet Explorer /Microsoft Edge before. A bunch of browsers basically. Vivaldi is by far my favorite.

(On mobile devices I stick to Samsung Internet on my tablet and Kiwi browser on my phone)

Days ago I decided to stop using Opera GX and going back to Firefox (actually LibreWolf). One thing that I really don't like is that I can't save the zoom of a page unlike in Chromium browsers (for example, I always use 90% on YouTube because the default zoom looks so giant for my screen but when I close the YouTube tab and I open another one the zoom I used before dissapears).

I don't seem to have this issue on Vanilla Firefox, I think this might be a LibreWolf thing. Have you tried using Vanilla Firefox as a Control?

I use DuckDuckGo for my mobile devices, but Safari on desktop with the DuckDuckGo extension. It's not always the best for finding the results you want (sometimes when I'm looking for better results for images I go on chrome). I generally avoid Chrome unless I have to use it.

Firefox still seems to me the optimal choice after 15 years. On mobile I prefer something simple, like Firefox Klar, but I don't really use it for normal browsing.

I like to cross-access my links from different devices and on Firefox I can do this by simply pressing the Synced tab button. Anything I open on my other devices will stay with me so that I can pick up where I left off. I use to read/watch different things on each device due to screen concerns as I find my laptop to be much more comfortable for reading long-form content especially at night.

For addons, I use uBlock Origin, Tab Session Manager(for saving certain tabs and opening them instantly; I use this more often when I try to read a blog or just a random archive so I open all the tabs that looks interesting to me and save them in the session manager for later - I used to have Tablist before), Fraidycat(it's some sort of an RSS, without all the bloat and FOMO of unread posts), Auto Tab Discard(sometimes I have the bad habit of opening way too many links and my RAM is suffering, so this addon will come to the rescue) and HTTPS Everywhere + NoScript for certain sites. I also use Firefox Containers.
