Which browser do you use and why? :^)
>>
Iceweasel and Firefox Nightly. Best available.

Firefox 28
>>
>>60211610
i use firefox for gmail and general browsing
and chrome for discord
>>
>>60211615
Isnt iceweaael just a recompiled version from debian ?
>>
>>60211657
Yes, it doesn't have trademarked artwork and has few modifications.
>>
>>60211666
Oh ok thanks ^^ and which ones ?
>>
>>60211681
Proprietary plug-ins are not included by default.
Apparently Debian killed Iceweasel and switched to Firefox.
No idea why Parabola uses it.
>>
Chrome. Too lazy to install chromium, FF is slower than snails and Opera gives me eyecancer
>>
>>60211715
Parabola cares about proprietary non-software as well, even if the project is abandoned "freedom" is a higher priority.

Iridium is literally chrome though, except without the botnet.

Personally I really hate the chromium UI and platform, but if you like it, then there's literally no reason not to use Iridium.

Firefox, son. Everything else feels bloated as fuck.

Pale Moon with some About:Config tweaks and Memory Fox Next.
>>
Chrome on Windows, firefox on Ubuntu.

Firefox on Ubuntu because imo it works better there than it does on Windows.

Chrome on Windows because that's what I had before I switched almost full time on linux.
>>
Chrome. Fastest. Cleanest UI. When I develop Chrome does exactly what I want it to do. Firefox fucks up some margin, padding of elements. IE does that same PLUS limit what you can do back end up wise. IE/Edge needs to die off. Firefox can stay for the non tech people. Anything else is not worth talking about yet.
>>
>>60213617

i've actually noticed this too

FF performs slightly better on ubuntu than Chrome....
>>
>>60213656
I agree about the dev tools, but I would vehemently disagree about the UI. After using Firefox for years, every time I use chrome I'm faced with some minor inconvenience or design issue ever 5 minutes.
>>
>>60213709

how? firefox is clearly more cluttered. more features that hog it down as well. I don't see how Chrome can get much "cleaner" in terms of UI
>>
>>60211610

Chrome, it simply just works for me
>>
>>60212001
:^)
>>
Chrome because im not a paranoid pedo worrying if someone is watching my history log

Vivaldi. I like trying different things once in a while, and this is my newest browser.

There's a difference between "clean" and "utilitarian". Just off the top of my head, some key annoyances I have to deal with every time I use chrome:
>downloading a file makes a huge obnoxious banner pop up at the bottom of the window that doesn't go away until you manually close it (or if there's some sort of timeout or something, I have never been able to deal with it long enough to find out)
>after middle-clicking several links on a page, when you open another one the new tab is placed AFTER all the other tabs you opened from this page. This matters to me because often I'll open some link in a new tab, glance through it, decide it's relevant and keep it open for later, then go back to the original and open another link in a new tab, now instead of Ctrl+Tab once, I have to find where the other tab opened which is really annoying if I try to open a bunch of them.
>when a session is restored, ALL your tabs are immediately loaded. At least youtube videos stopped immediately starting to play now so it's not so bad, but it's still annoying.
>if you open a lot of tabs, they all shrink to minuscule slivers - after a point you don't even see the icons of their webpages. I much prefer firefox's scrolling.
>platform-specific, but I've had to do dev work on a mac, so of course Chrome is my choice for its dev tools. I was very displeased to find out that all of the normal shortcuts don't work at all anymore - I can't reload with F5 (I did get used to Cmd+R eventually), I can't edit the URL with F6 (I never found the equivalent for that - to this day I still have to use my mouse to click in the URL bar), I can't open the console with F12 (who the fuck though Cmd+Shift+J was a good idea)

I do agree about Firefox in general being bloated, though that's not really an argument in chromium's favour either, more of an argument against the both of them.
>>
i'm trying to get used to firefox (nightly) and i use ungoogled chromium for twitch and some other stuff
>>
>>60214555
not nightly, developer edition, just installed it two days ago
>>
>>60214587
Speaking of developer edition, what the fuck does it actually do?

The webpage says shit like "you get tools to help you develop!" but the dev tools are literally everywhere, even pale moon has the exact same tools.

What does it actually add, besides a neat blue logo that will make your friends ask you about your browser?

Firefox. Nightly on android.

Vivaldi. Why? It's somewhat like Opera and more compatible with websites. Also, it's up to date.

>>60211615
I just uninstalled FF Nightly today. It keeps freezing all the fucking time, A few months ago it worked even better than the standard version, but now it's laggy and extension doesn't work.

Firefox. Im a creature of habit. Been using it for over 10 years and want it to get better. Got devices synched together and enjoy a clean install without having to back up my bookmarks.

Opera is up to date. It's literally the best chromium based browser, even better than chrome.

What's better. Iridium or Ungoogled Chromium? What makes that browser better or worse?

Firefox for PC

Chrome for phone

Firefox on everything of course, do other browsers even exist?
>>
>>60216808
>real opera
Chropera is the real opera, grandpa. Presto is abandoned.
>>
>>60217891
No, real Opera uses Presto. Chropera's just a piece of shit Chromium based browser.
>Presto is abandoned
No fucking shit.
>>
>>60211610
Chromium. I use some pretty javascript heavy websites that pull and update data off websocket and Firefox is simply too slow. It really is. And that single-threaded problem it has means it's impossible to have two javascript-heavy websites open at the same time.

Basically, I use Chromium because it's the only alternative.

Just because it's the best Chromium based browser doesn't mean it's good, it just means it's less shitty than the rest of them.

Vivaldi, because Firefox started getting fucky while saving files. I'm probably going back to Nightly in a few weeks and keeping vivaldi as a spare. I wish they'd port over that feature opera 12 had, the one which listed all the links in a page. Very useful to download threads worth of pictures.

Opera seems to be getting a little of its groove back with Presto.
The free built-in VPN is also nice.
Opera, like FF, also plays well with 3rd party sandboxes, unlike Chrome.

Yeah, no thanks. For whatever reason it chokes more than actual Chrome. If minimal+privacy is your thing you should really have been looking at Iridium or Iron. Even Opera at least gives you a free VPN.
