    Firefox everywhere. It’s not perfect, but is still the closest a browser gets.

    Unless I need a PWA on desktop, then Edge (windows) or ungoogled chromium (linux).

    I have been using Vivaldi for about half a year and so far it is working well for me. Originally moved to it due to it’s privacy features, but finding other areas quite useful too such as workspaces

      I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.

      Vivaldi is very functional. But once I understood the wide landscape features of floorp, incl workspaces and all, I was sold to Floorp.

      Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.

      Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.

    Started using Zen browser recently and it’s not bad! Basically Firefox but more stylish and more privacy. It syncs with my Mozilla/Firefox account so on mobile I just use Firefox.

    LibreWolf on desktop and Mull on Android. Basically Firefox with a little more privacy.

        The overhead and performance hit aren’t worth it for me in general since these browsers are set up to enforce secure connections as long as you don’t override it. And I don’t have to worry about government level website filtering. I do see the value in tunnels for stopping the ISPs from tracking and selling the list of sites you connect to, but I’d rather set up my own proxy for that if I felt it was worth it. It’s easy enough to set up a web proxy on a small, cheap, remote VPS or pay for a trustworthy service with no logging so the ISP would just see that connection and it would be way faster. I don’t see much value in using a Tor browser otherwise anymore now that HTTPS is ubiquitous and secure DNS exists, unless you want to access things not on the public web.

    Pale Moon, originally forked from Firefox many years ago (although the codebases have diverged so far that most Firefox patches no longer apply). Still xul, still supports Firefox extensions from back in the day as well as extensions purpose-written for it. On the downside, it occasionally isn’t compatible with the latest bleeding-edge nonstandard Javascript features—I keep Vivaldi around for the extremely rare occasion when something goes wrong with a site that I absolutely must visit for some reason (I think I’ve needed it twice in the past five years).

    I love Firefox because with about:config and User css you can configure it just like you want it. Also Falkon because you get a fully featured browser that runs decently on older hardware
