Let's have an actual conversation instead of countless shilling spam threads. What are some browser related functions that really convinced you that it's the right choice? I mean stuff like Firefox's shift+right click or Chrome''s convenient profile manager. I'd prefer not getting bogged down in privacy related topics as these things usually go.Also, there's nothing wrong with using multiple browsers, in fact it should be the default. I just want to know what makes each one special, why you'd have it installed at all.
>>102649143Oh and ignore the chart, it's mostly bad bait for retards who don't read the thread rather than an accurate comparison. It's from Linus.
>>102649143I used to like Male Poon but thats the way I swing. Let's see now, browsers yeah I like Lynx because it is text only but my daily driver is firefoxThe reason for firefox is that if you disable javascript it will actually disable it and let you get around paywalls but other browsers recognise the paywall and dont disable it
I really like Firefox's and Edge's list of domains for which cookies will be preserved after the browser is closed. These are the only browsers on the market that have this functionality out of the box.I also like Chromium's native JavaScript/Cookie whitelist. It's easy to enable them for a domain from the addressbar, too.If it wasn't Manifest V3 I'd be probably using Edge right now. Telemetry, Microsoft account integration and other bloat can be very easily disabled with group policies, which is another plus.
>>102649221>The reason for firefox is that if you disable javascript it will actually disable it and let you get around paywalls but other browsers recognise the paywall and dont disable itInteresting, I've never tried that. I wonder if the various extensions which bypass paywalls (or claim to anyway) work in a similar way. Either way, that's the sort of thing I'm referring to, thanks!
>>102649227>I really like Firefox's and Edge's list of domains for which cookies will be preservedJust asking, what does this actually mean. Does it mean the cookie owners can still track you even if you close the browser then reopen it?
>>102649143>What are some browser related functions that really convinced you that it's the right choice?Functions? Browsers are basically all the same. I chose ff and librewolf because I care about being less reliant on google and my stats not feeding into the chromium monopoly.
homer simpsondonutsink about itthe choice is obviousor, maybe you want to talk about rendering technology? nah
>>102649308>Browsers are basically all the same.Basically yes, but they each tend to have some small things that make them stand out. I don't know if other browsers try to push picture-in-picture as much as Firefox does as I don't use it, but that's one example. I'm not complaining as Firefox also has the shift + right click to force the context menu thing which is occasionally very convenient (although some sites still manage to block it).
>>102649339>or, maybe you want to talk about rendering technology? nahIf there's something more to it, sure.
Firefox Relay is great. Email masking, phone masking. Mozilla VPN is Mullvad but you can manage it from your Mozilla account. Great services.
>>102649392I completely forgot about that. It also reminded me of the fact that I often overlook mobile - desktop synergy. Stuff like Firefox's sync option.
>>102649339What did she mean by this?
>>102649143But privacy is what matters, and the most important topic.I pick my browser based on that alone.The absence of privacy discussion in todays society is one of the most severe issues.
>>102649957It's certainly the main concern when it comes to picking your main browser. But I've noticed that a lot of anons use different browsers for different things, which is what inspired this thread. For example, I remember one anon mentioning that he works with older extensions no longer supported by Mozilla so he had to switch to a fork. It might've been Pale Moon, but I don't remember for sure.
>>102650018I do use ungoogled chromium flatpak for stable diffusion/comfy UI, and sillytavern, aka only locally hosted webuis.It's otherwise just supposed to serve as a backup browser for when my browser settings are too strict for some websites, but as it turns out most websites have adapted to strict browser settings, so it's not needed at all.
Arc requires me to make an account so it's not an option
>>102649143I use stock firefox with minimal extensions for flexible ease of useit's a barely enough to not get mauled by google and you still get the toxic convenience of modern internetI've found that privacy is very hard to actually mess with, there's always more to dig and find, there's always more ways to hide, but this is an endless marathon where you just get beaten down and everything becomes unusablepersonally, my perfect browser would be firefox 52.6esr ui and extensions with modern capabilities and librewolf security, but I'm sure that's something that'll never happen
>>102650252>I use stock firefox with minimal extensions for flexible ease of useI started out the same way. Now I've got an unreasonable amount of extensions. Best I can do is deactivate them when not in use.
>>102649297I don't give a fuck about tracking. I just want to have a list of domains for which cookies are preserved so my login is kept. I don't want cookie garbage from over 8000 different addresses I visit randomly stored forever.
Mullvad Browser is kingish. sadly I don't have a >usecase for enhanced privoocy
