Which do you prefer when browsing LQ?

LibreWolf

Still Firefox for me.

Vivaldi for four years now, and I'll probably stick with it.

Firefox-ESR

I've tried all of the major web browsers, from Firefox 1 onwards.

I liked dillo the best, but it's been broken for years now. And the dillo devs apparently aren't going to fix it anytime soon. So...

This year I am using My own. Qt5WebEngine at its core, and of course that means the interface is in Qt5 toolkit, written in C++. I was already using that setup for something else, so it made sense to make a companion web browser. I'm starting to look at Qt6, it's still lacking in a few things.

It also means that I can make a bunch of little dedicated web apps with that base software, without adding any more depends to the machine. Kind of like bread. Once you have flour, yeast, sugar, salt, you can make 6 types of bread.

So that means mine is closer to Chromium I guess.

I also experimented with webkit2gtk, which means the interface in gtk3, in C.
That works fine too.

I liked the Midori, Falkon format, with a scripts and images button that could be clicked to turn elements on-off at will.

I don't want Chrome or chromium
Firefox is way toooo big
I've not seen a version of Falkon stable enough to use yet(My opinion)
Palemoon is ok, but calls home all the time. I think that it's about done anyway.
qutebrowser, that's python-PyQt5. Might as well roll your own.
I don't like w3m
I liked dillo when it used to load pages! (ssl problem)
I don't like Midori anymore since zeitgeist, and vala depends.

Anyway, linux is not browser poor. Pick what you like.

I'll bet that Firefox wins this year again.

The least evil alternative: Firefox-ESR.

But the times I would do everything on one browser are long gone.
I also use Ungoogled Chromium, surf, dillo, TOR-Browser....

Ditto!!!

My hardware is "limited" so I prefer to stay in the terminal . W3M has password management and handlers for urls when needed.

Browsing LQ? Probably Chromium or a derivative. Which browser do I probably use most? That would be either curl or wget.

Starting rather late, I see.

By the way, have you seen the Mozilla founder ranting about what's left of Mozilla? It is a dumpster fire, if you ask me.

I use Falkon for it's compatibility with Skype for web and low resources. Links -g for browsing in the console. Having 30 tabs open in Firefox doesn't work. Everything I run is on the ARM64 architecture and resources are slim.

Firefox-ESR

I believe Ungoogled Chromium should be on that list (esp. considering there's so many other Chromium forks on it).

It has been under consistent development for many years now, pre-compiled packages exist for various distros/architectures, even repositories and builds for Windows/MacOS...

The name really says it all, but here's part of their README:

The UX is completely bug-free, it's significantly snappier than actual Chromium and has helped me in many situations where FF doesn't cut it for some reason.
