Opera 12.16
>Does a good one even exist?
Yes, but it's three years old.

>>56730480
Opera. Followed by Chropera. Followed by Vivaldi.
Firefox is somewhere on the list above Chrome.

>>56730495
>Opera 12.16
Why is it good?

It's lacking many modern features.

Exact opposite actually, it's the modern browsers that are feature lacking, which is exactly why Opera's the best. All the shit it can do and how it does it.

chrome.

im still stunned that this browsers manages to make me happy while im browsing and while i am developing. im no big google fan but its their killer product and lets just hope that they wont bastardize it with their material design.

>Which one is the best?

Chrome

>Does a good one even exist?

Yes, Chrome

>>56730586
Why do you hate RAM?

>>56730586

>material design

It's much too late for that, now, they already did

>>56730605

You seem poor. Do you run on x2 1GB RAM sticks?

Your chinkpad probably chokes on Chrome even if you run 4GB RAM

>>56730480
The best nowadays is chropera, which is shit compared to Opera.
Browsers nowadays are pieces of shit.

>>56730638
It consumed most of my 8 GB and I had to frequently close things down do prevent my entire OS from freezing with just ~20 tabs open. Since I switched to Firefox I have had no problems. Chrome is a shit.

>>56730612
i might be unware / not up to date as I use some extension that enforces some minimalism but last time i checked it only had the ripple effect and some bigger buttons which while i find unnecessary is nowhere as bad as it could be.

>>56730605
because its 2016.

>>56730480
>Which one is the best?
Safari on OSX
>Does a good one even exist?
Yes, Safari on OSX

The rest are shit tier though

I'm using OS X right now and have definitely used Safari, it sucks.

Name 800 things Chrome does better

>>56730605
Why would I want to utilize less RAM at the cost of my browser's performance?

>>56731298
Where did I say Chrome was good?

>>56730824
Safari is trash. It doesn't even have favicons to show you when you got a (You).

>>56730605
>>56730605
>buy 16GB of ram
>doesnt use it

>>56731372
Yea, man, fuck how efficient it is. No favicons, that's what really matters

>>56731446
What is more efficient about it than literally any other modern browser?

Chrome was using 1.5gb of ram with only one tab open and it was increasing by 50mb per second. My 4gb ram shittop didnt like that.
How does it feel like to use one giant memory leak, chromefags?

>>56731446
>efficient
"no" chrome beats it in every way.

just don't use anything chromium based and you should be fine

>>56731467
For one Safari has lots of energy saving features compared to others like shutting down plugins and stopping gifs when switching tabs or scrolling past

There are numerous tests proving that you gain 4+ hours of extra battery life on a macbook by using Safari over another browser

>>56731491
>clueless the post
Complete syncing with Safari on iOS devices.
A built-in reading list and RSS reader in the sidebar.
Native Mac notifications from a wide variety of sites.
Built-in Reader mode, for clutter-free reading.
Toolbar and tabs optimized to use as little vertical space as possible.

>>56730480
Firefox

>>56731731
Chropera with battery saving mode enabled has been proven (by Opera Software, so take it with a grain of salt) to be more battery-efficient than any other browser, including Safari.

>>56731731
I'll take the loss of battery life over not having to use shitware any day.

>>56730586
google dont make chrome
the chromium devs do and google adds botnet and calls it chrome

16GB of RAM here. Use Firefox and Chrome both, no fancy scripts or torn down forks of either.
20 tabs in both (at least) all day.
No issues

Yep, 16GB is the best. Poorfags with their 8GB

>>56732216
I'm using FF just fine with 8 GB. 60 tabs currently.

>>56730480
Chropera. Especially because of built in VPN and adblocker.

Fx nightly

>>56730586
>while i am developing
God forbid you want to use backspace to go back.

>>56730574
Lets not forget how it had built-in user.js support, all in one mail, RSS and IRC clients.
Why did they ditch presto for objectively worse engine - chromium?

>>56732216
When i upgraded from 8 to 16gb my system used way more ram than before. It's always between 5-7 with only a few tabs open in chrome now.
Granted I'm on os x so it naturally uses more ram than winblows

>>56730566
You should stop looking for CP.

>trying to find out how much ram I free up after using the suspend background tabs feature
>Browser is based on Chrom*

There HAS to be an easier way. All I know is, it seems to really fix that whole "Chromium eating through ram" issue.

>>56730605
RAM is meant to be used. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

>>56732987
DELETE THIS

>>56730480
There's arguably no best browser, I use Opera right now though. Firefox seemingly has a weird issue with netflix when it changes to the next episode it locks up my computer for a second and Chrome causes bluescreens. Really odd set of problems I have, but Opera doesn't cause them so.

>>56730495
thats extremely sad. I'm not sure what to do when 12.16 became unusable.

>>56737432
Me either

It depends on what you want from your browser.

>>56737568
No Midori?

>>56737568
>Vivaldi

>>56739387
Hell no that shit crashes all the damn time

>>56730566
When was Midori a botnet?

brave

>>56730480
midori and epiphany

>>56730480
use the DukeNukemForever browser, it is the best by far

palemoon is kinda nice

>>56730480
Should I even bother with IceCat?

Brave or Vivaldi.

>>56730495
Seconding this.
That said. I do use "modern" FF and Chrome because Html5 and other stuff but... oh man... Opera 12.16 was the last good thing that happened to browsers worldwide.

And sure, you can do a lot of what Opera 12.16 did... if you install just a FEW FUCKING DOZENS of add-ons and plug-ins. Meanwhile with Opera all you needed to do was edit single config file with notepad.

>>56737432
I pray for this day to never come.

>>56732401
Don't cite me on this but from what I heard it was because of rather toxic management and developer team. Long story short, People developing "old" opera were extremely hermetic and didn't want to let anyone into their "inner circle" of knowledge how to work with old engine. Hence pushing managers/chefs/bosses to pay them more for their "sacred knowledge". Eventually, whoever was in charge, fired the fuck out of them, got new team and swapped to chromium, literally turning opera into chrome.

Keep in mind this might be just a marketing ruse and complete bullshit. I can't tell myself really.

Firefox is the winner at the moment for me. e10 is surprisingly good.

Firefox and Chromium on my main PC.

Chrome users, everyone.
Can't expect too much intelligence from someone who uses a browser just because it's the standard one or heavily advertised.

>>56745737
>Opera has more votes than Chropera
I'm proud of you, /g/

>>56745690
Huh, that was weird. I tried to download the version for Firefox and it just installed directly from there after I got the message that it would only work with Firefox.

>>56745782
Some Fx addons work in SeaMonkey, they just need to be modified. Hell I've got 12 addons installed and half of them don't work according to the addons' pages, I'm still using them without issue.

>>56745824
>12 addons
Does that not slow your browser startup time?

I just compiled Seamonkey and I am really surprised at how much less memory usage it uses than FF.

>>56745862
It only takes 4 seconds, I always have it running so it's not like it's that big of a deal

>>56730566
>botMet
nice midori!

>>56745882
Nice, lad.
Any chance I can get a screenshot of what addons you use? I am genuinely curious of what someone with 12 addons would use.

Such is life as an Opera 12 user, I'm not even done setting shit up. I'd be surprised if I didn't hit 20 addons soon.

Why do native desktop apps still exist?

>>56746004
Why the fuck are you using uBlock instead of uBlock Origin?

>>56746081
I don't keep up with the flavor of the day

>>56746097
uBlock hasn't been developed for over a year. Gorhill works on uBlock Origin.

>>56746170
Like I said, I don't keep up with the flavor of the day.

>>56746175
Is it really "flavor of the day" when the entire board blew up about it and the developer told everyone to stop using uBlock? Sounds like you just don't keep up with technology in any way.
Do you at least update your browsers?

>>56746221
I keep up with technology, just not addons in browsers I rarely use. It's impossible to keep up with literally everything, and browsers are extremely low on my list.
>Do you at least update your browsers?
No fucking shit, of course I do. Well, the ones that can be updated.
