just use firefox... it's been better than anything else for like 20+ years.

Actually the browser scene is quite lively, now.
Anyone using Chrome is caveman, just like I.E. users 10 years ago. In fact, even Edge is kinda good, only they harrass people into using it, which is a huge "NO" for me.

In the Chromium familly Brave and Vivaldi are doing really well.

I personally preffer the Firefox family, like Focus and Librewolf.

If I could, however, I would use CLI/TUI pagers more often. Unfortunately "mordern" bloatnet don't support them really well.

Edge uses Chromium, same as Chrome.

Not Chrome, but at its core the same browser.

I personally dislike supporting the Chromium monopoly.

m8... I've seen people say this and that is better for this and that reason over the years.... but firefox has always remained, on average, the best choice.

Its definitely *not* the same browser. It is the same engine, but very different browsers. Chrome is the absolute worst of all major Chromium browsers.

That said, I also would like there to be more diversity of Engines.

I use Firefox derivations, like I said, but Mozilla has long lost my trust.

Putting a different chrome (That is browser speak for user interface) and some additional functionality in a browser does not make it a different browser

Over the years, on average, perhaps. But there is a lot going on now, and it can be very entretaining to get to know other browsers.

There definitely is one for each taste/prefferece.

Right now I don't think Firefox is even the best Firefox-like browser. I much preffer Librewolf.

Well both are chromium-based and there fore offer superior performance over Firefox. One is American borderline spyware, the other has a Chinese connection. Pick your poison.

I think if you have halfway decent hardware (cpu/gpu), the browser speed becomes an esoteric thing. Firefox also made good on its promise to deal with Manifest v3 in such a way that will hopefully enable v2 extensions (like uBlock Origin) to still function once the switch is made.

A shame Firefox has to accommodate Google but it was unavoidable.

Shoot, I hope I don't trigger the mods to come over here and lock this thread. Yikes!

there's always "a lot going on"... and people tend to get caught up in those sort of things flip-flopping between this and that...

I'm still happy with my decision to stick with firefox.

I'm not into debating phylosophy right now, but Edge definitely isn't Chrome just because you treat them to be "all the same crap", so to speak.

I already said what I use. I agree with all your other points. This is pointless.

If dude OP doesn't care about major software like OSs and browsers becoming essentially viruses (malware/spyware), and just cares about RGB, Opera GX is still a better choice than Chrome.

If he finds anything written here relevant, he will try other things for himself.

Things change and Firefox now sports advertisements to ecocidal companies like Jeff Bezo's on start page, and defaults search engine to Google.

Being faithful to what was once the best choice doesn't mean you can't end up be using one of the worst ones.

Anything based on Firefox is usually better than FF itself.

it became really hard to have any sort of custom anything when google locked down the web to "Secure" their profits...

[Heitor Villa-Lobos]

What do you mean?

[kingjames488]

I mean the only thing that I've been "secured" from is being able to freely download the videos on yotube and similar platforms...
