BROWSER DISCUSSION

either chrome or firefox, anybody suggesting anything else is a troll, idiot or shill

>>57437804
There really aren't any independently developed browsers that can compete?
That's depressing.

Firefox

Tree Style Tabs

>I use the main firefox fork
Which one is that? Pale Moon? Waterfox?

>>57437804
This. Firefox if you give a shit about 'botnet'.

>>57437796

I just ditched FireFox because it is unbearably sluggish.

>go to twitch.tv with uBlock Origin as only installed addon and flash disabled
>browser hangs for several seconds, all the other tabs become unresponsive and shit. Same thing with Protonmail web client
>go to twitch.tv with Chrome and uBlock as the only addon and flash disabled
>everything is still quick and responsive. Same shit with Protonmail and all my other tabs.

Anyone notice how FireFox is stuck on RAM usage? I can open up 150 tabs and it becomes slow but RAM usage stays the same as when I only have 6 tabs open, even though everything is loaded in the other 150 tabs.

Chrome actually uses more RAM when it needs to, so it doesn't become unresponsive like FireFox.


Also notice how FireFox is actually more botnet in default configuration than Chrome default config? There is much more to disable in FireFox before it becomes non-botnetified

Currently using Opera...

It's fun, but I gotta say, not everything is supported...

>>57437804
Nothing with Opera, faggot.

Opera

because it's by far the best browser on the market. insanely fast and with unique features

>>57437796
>Maxthon

That's botnet^2

I use Opeara 12.

I just came back to FF after using Chrome for a bit.

I used to have FireFox set up with my address bar to search Google, and a Search bar specifically for Wikipedia.
With the new version, both bars search by witch ever your default search engine is. I know I can click the Wiki icon in the search bar drop down menu but I used to just press 'enter' because the bar was specially for Wiki. Having two bars search the same engine is kinda redundant, no?
Any ideas to get this back?

TL;DR
I want my address bar to forever search google, and my search bar to forever search Wiki.

>>57437796
Chrome, also because of postman
I switch to the firefox one just to double check some errors. Can't remember though if it was firebug or something

Vivaldi, fuck gay extensions

>>57437796
Vivaldi, cause im a fking casual and i only use internet to look my emails and watch some yt videos.
Its just I like the design. More of annons will said Google Chrome is the best and Edge is shit just by the meme anyways.

>>57438354
It wasn't a month ago. :(

>>57437796
firefox, since I use a linux-based os and thats what firefox development is focused on. Runs great and does what I want it to (ublocko, httpseverrywhere, greasemonkey, grab&drag toggle when I want to use a touchscreen for browsing) and does it fast. Had to disable a lot of junk tho. Using firefox on windows at work from time to time (when I need to acess networkshares anyway, can't do that from my private laptop) and it is much worse.

>>57437796
Firefox, because of about:config and addons. It works just as fast as any other browser I've tried, even though there are shills against Firefox on this site who would suggest otherwise.

I'll never touch chrome again because Opera, iridium and vivaldi are literally better versions of Chrome and don't choke you with ads. Also edge because I'll never touch Windows 10.

I've been trying out IceCat. It's decent, but I prefer Opera or Firefox.

Currently on opera, doesn't crash as much as firefox and chrome, only complaint is the flash player addon for linux, can't fucking install it, on Windows works just fine

I use Chromium (NOT Chrome)

Firefox is SJW run, so I refuse to use it on principle. Never run flash ever. Don't run big JavaScript programs. Monitor your cookies.
Chrome is botnet. Opera is proprietary. IceCat was based, but hasn't been updated in over half a year.

>>57438167

>start chatty
>it use 400mb of memory
What the fuck is this bullshit? How can you bloat an irc client so hard?

Ungoogled chromium

I use ungoogled-chromium, because it's fast as fuck and well, ungoogled. There's some extensions I miss from Firefox, but I've learned to live without them. Used to use regular Firefox before, but it just kept getting slower and slower, and clearing cache and doing fresh reboots didn't help; e10s helped a bit but broke everything else. Tried Pale Moon, it was full of bugs. Iridium too. Opera, Vivaldi and Brave are just awful, Chrome clones with useless shit slapped on top. Edge I'll never touch because Microsoft, and I remember how awful IE was.
And I've stayed away from Midori because of the weeb name.

I use Firefox for the extensions, and Chrome without most of them if I need to play something my lockeddownasfuck Firefox doesn't.

I use a variety of other browsers to keep up with them and am comfortable on any. They are just browsers after all.

>What browser do you use and why?
Pale Moon. Compatibility with Firefox extensions, but without FF's bloat. SeaMonkey is okay too, but extension compatibility is utterly terrible.

>What are you general experiences with said browser?
All good. Have never experienced any crashes, memory leaks or any other red flags.

>Are there certain browsers you'll never touch? Why?
Anything by MS, Chrome, Safari and Opera. I was an Opera user until they ditched Presto. Now Opera is a bloated mess.

Chrome is Google. Google is botnet. Chrome is also by far the most bloated of the mainstream browsers.

well, you start by installing the Enterprise LSBT-N edition so you have less bullshit to remove

then you run something like
>https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking

to remove every form of tracking/telemetry etc in automatic. There are several scripts like that, this is an example.

This is the easy way, which should be good if you don't have little girls in your closet or something
The hard way is to study (by using google) and manually disable literally everything you don't like.

A few resources:
>https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3i3sdm/how_to_debotnetdebloat_windows_788110/

It contains several pastebin guides from win10 general here on /g/, and you can easily research how to disable everything manually by using google.

Chrome on Android is so fucking shit it's unbelievable

By disabling them, you can, potentially, revert them.

>Diagnostics Tracking Service
>WAP Push Message Routing Service

Google this stuff and decide whether you need it or you don't.
If you're too lazy/have no idea just disable them.

Firefox feels like I'm on a completely different computer with a very slow internet connection compared to Chrome/Chromium

Even the mouse seems to lag a little

>>57445489
Alright last question: Do I need to keep the program on my system or is it okay to remove?

>>57445742
The program is a script. When you launch it, it initializes a series of commands on cmd/powershell etc, and a series of actions are performed (changing x value from 1 to 0, deleting y, etc), therefore it does not make a difference.

recently tried an alternative browser (qutebrowser), but quickly went back... nothing comes close to chrome in terms of speed, smoothness and functionality

>>57437796
Nightly.

Tons of neat features that won't hit the main Firefox anytime soon, at the cost of eventual glitches that you can work around or fix yourself.

Besides Firefox 49 looks really shitty with GTK 3.

I use both Vivaldi and Firefox, mostly because they are the only ones that support vertical tabs that I'm used to using.

But Vivaldi also has (rudimentary) tab stacking, tab hibernation, and session management built in. Needs a lot of work but it's good to have them.
In the event that Firefox both fucks up TreeStyleTabs and its own vertical tab solution sucks, I will have Vivaldi to fall back on.

I've been a chrome user for a long time, but I recently I installed opera for shits and giggles. It's surprisingly good. I think I've found my new favorite browser.

Thoughts on Seamonkey?

What about Chromonium ? isn't it the best of both world ?

I use watch my anime one Kissanime and Chromonium didn't supported htlm5 i was shocked at the first but for people only looking for a basic browser without the botnet i think it wouldn't be bad ? i don't know anymore honestly.

I switched back to Firefox Nightly after using Chrome for years. It's great after changing the ugly default theme. Firefox will become popular again once Google starts cracking down on the ad blocking extensions like they did on Android.

The best one. Not sure what the fuss is about it anyway. People use like 50 add-ons that conflict with each other and cause memory leak then blame the browser. FF allows customization but going batshit crazy will eventually break any browser.

Chrome
- faster at loading web pages
- UI looks nice by default

Firefox Nightly
- far less memory usage
- more responsive UI
- doesn't rape battery life
- native notifications with an extension
- no botnet

If you want to try out Nightly, make sure none of your extensions disables multi process mode. You can check by going to about:support

>>57437796
Firefox
I don't see any reason to use something else.
Maybe for something else but it's the only one that really offers what I want.
Also it goes well with Thunderbird (or Icedove as it's called in Debian) which I use for all my mail

Only one with some taste

The problem isn't with the browsers but rather the actual web itself. Different browsers are a little better at certain things, but they all end up trying to deal with an absolute mess. Use Dillo for about 10 minutes and compare it to any one of the major browsers and you'll see how things should really be.

>>57457964
Default Chrome browser has no ad blockers. So you need to install another browser, like Firefox.

I've been using Firefox since version 1.5 but I'm really starting to get FUCKING SICK of how extremely fucking slow it's getting.
It's ridiculous. When typing a tweet on twitter (the web version) it literally lags behind 3-5 seconds and if I'm too fast it doesn't register half the input.
Already completely reinstalled firefox with a fresh profile and tried it without any addons and nothing helps. I'm having Pale Moon open right next to it and that is blazing fast in comparison. The only downside is that they are diverging from Firefox more and more so a lot of addons stop working.
And I need muh Tree Style Tabs, Keefox and Greasemonkey (well, just 4chanX really).

Is there a good alternative? I'd hate to switch to the botnet known as Chrome.

true true, but firefox 0.x started so fucking nice with gazilion settings semi-retards like me who can read a manual can fiddle with about:config

and then not only the web "2.1" got crazy bloated but also the standards made retarded shit like webGL asm.js eventhandlers and firefox didnt keep up with super granular configuration

all they cared was securing user percentage and looking progressive with transsexuals in the workplace, so they wasted resources re-inventing GUI and shiiiet and even things like a new version number every 2 months for normies poweruser-wannabe who like seeing big ass versions getting incremented like it was a sign of "upgrade" (just like the retards in the win10 thread)

firefox went FROM "take back the web"
TO "in all levels except physical, i am a fox"

anedotically illustrated by a couple years ago in an independent security blog a mozilla representative defended the implementation of Vibration API in a philosophy of trusting the webmasters instead of giving users full detailed control on/off switches saying shit like "the user can just exit the site"

even fucking chromium has some CLI switches* that firefox lacks (in either CLI of aobout:config), but firefox is still the highest controllabe browser, so i continue using it while hating it.

If Chrome had a proper Dark Mode then you would have a point.

Vivaldi is pretty decent though. It has all the benefits of Chrome, but looks better to boot.

Firefox has just gone to shit. The one advantage FF had was the level of customizing you could do, but Mozilla decided to fuck that over.

That works with FF, Chrome, Vivaldi, PaleMoon, etc.
