i haven't seen it used in a way which has made me think "oh yeah, this is the future" to a greater extent than its made me think "oh yeah, this is using a lot of energy, is resulting in a lot of demand for gpus, and ultimately doesn't even really address the real issue." or something. thats not to say i dont think that it can have its uses, rather i havent seen them yet. i prefer to stay wary of new technologies before embracing them.

currently i find that adblock + donations / email conversations with people i appreciate suffices.

Firefox as a daily driver, Netsurf or Lynx in a pinch and until I get fed up.

>>10 it's a shame that netsurf has such a lot of little bits of functionality that just don't work quite right, because it's also got some really nice features.

i love its tree history.

First, I thought ``five-six'' is the name of a defunct webbrowser project. Then you said ``4-5,'' which I thought was a typo then immediately realized that it's the numbers of webbrowsers you use. That using multiple webbrowsers is a legitimate shows is a symptom of a bad design choice: singularity+complexity.

s/a legitimate shows/legitimate/

Palemoon with cookies disabled. If however a website doesn't work because it strictly demands cookies or just doesn't render correctly then I switch over to Iridium.

Firefox, obviously. I refuse to participate in the webkit/blink cabal.

I had used Pale Moon for a few years, but I switched to Waterfox after I did a new OS installation after upgrading my PC. I forgot why I wanted to leave Pale Moon, but I think it was related to extensions..
I'm using this Mahoro theme and it's pretty nice, but I should probably find a better one that is more legible: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/automatic-maiden-mahoro/?src=search

>>15
Same. I use Pale Moon for most things and Firefox for modern Google crap Pale Moon can't handle well, like Youtube.

Guess I'm the only chrome user here.

>>18
I have to use chrome sometimes because it is the only installed browser on shared computers.

Depends on which OS is on my computer.

>>18
Does chromium count?

>>21
yes.

Looks like Firefox is in trouble: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/08/11/changing-world-changing-mozilla/
> Sadly, the changes also include a significant reduction in our workforce by approximately 250 people.

>>23
good. hopefully it dies this time

>>23
I legitimately miss Presto.
Firefox 3.6 was the peak of the Firefox UI.

>>25
Get Pale Moon. It is to Firefox as MATE is to GNOME. I've been using it as my main browser for years and it's fantastic.

Fair warning though; the dev team is made up of like three people, all of which are dickheads, so progress is very slow compared to most other browsers.

>>26
Pale moon is a buggy piece of poop. On top if that, its literally the slowest browser I've ever used

i've been trying out seamonkey, but i dont know much about it other than it seems to run okay on a resource constrained computer.

>>28
i made that post from lynx just to see how it works submitting forms and it appears to have worked. the feedback in the browser is confusing though, i hit the cooldown when i accidentally tried to double post

>>28
I don’t know how resource constrained your computer is, but K-Meleon is good.

Opera GX

Duck duck go, chrome for reverse search, and sometimes tor

>>32
Those are search engines.

Chrome is a browser. Its right click reverse Google image search is nice. Tor is also the name of a browser.

>>2
So what does Waterfox have and not have over Firefox.

Opera 12 is main browser
ungoogled chromium is second

I use Pale Moon as my main browser. I would probably use Ungoogled Chromium as a secondary browser, although I didn't need to use it so far. Pale Moon can handle Youtube fine nowadays.

>>35
Waterfox can use both WebExtensions (Firefox Quantum extensions) and XUL (old Firefox extensions). It cannot use UXP (Pale Moon extensions).
Waterfox got sold out to an AD company months ago. Avoid.

>>37
Almost forgot to mention that Google makes it near impossible to solve Recaptchas on Pale Moon if not signed into a Google account. I'm not sure how Recaptcha is like on Pale Moon when signed in to a Google account since I refuse to sign in to one for now.

Internet explorer 11

I used to use Pale Moon for everything, but the developer decided to drop out of their Patreon revenue stream because they didn't like that Patreon made a statement in support of Black Lives Matter. Not the first weird decision made at the expense of the browser that made me jump off. I'm hoping a team of developers can come together and create a similar project with less insanity, because I'd move there in a heartbeat.

Ungoogled Chromium, though. Always preferred Firefox and hate adding to the engine's market share but it's better than faux privacy. I still like Mozilla but wish they would do better.

>>41
There's a little project that's a Pale Moon fork called Web Browser, but it is a really tiny project with one dev and a few contributors so far. The project is slow too with no precompiled binaries yet. You will have to compile Web Browser from source. Git repo is at https://git.nuegia.net/webbrowser.git/

Pic related is from digdeeper's browsers article: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/browsers.html#webbrowser

why not just look at firefox's source code and convince them not to do something you don't like rather than creating 100 spinoffs that will never be updated?

I use Ungoogled Chromium nowadays because everything else sucks nowadays.
>firefox
lots of bundled spyware that gets reenabled every update and you'd need to mess around with a userjs script that will probably not work the next firefox update
>pale moon
devs are being hostile and the browser is adding in features the users don't want
>web browser whatever that is
dead schizo project
>alternative browsers
they still rely on chromium's engine or apple webkit and they don't have enough extension support

>>43
They don't care about giving user options https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606655

MS Edge and Waterfox if Onion then there's compromised TOR browser.

>>46
You visit hidden sites with MS Edge?????

>>46
Why do you keep calling it that? It's 1. not true and 2. not going to catch on.

>What's your main browser?
Tor Browser

finally switched from pale moon to ungoogled chromium
for some reason I had been having some serious performance issues with pale moon and it would often freeze for a couple seconds after I open a new website. I thought it would take forever to switch browsers (which is why it took so long for me to ditch palemoon), but is has been surprisingly easy so I'm glad for that.
Overall I'm hoping that webbrowser fixes all the issues I had with palemoon because I still prefer the firefox style over chromium

Firefox works for everything I need, but I have countless extensions installed, even some which I made myself only for me.

Yep, my web 'rowser! That's what I call 'em for short! You got a problem with that?

Firefox is my go-to.
Waterfox and Chromium are also pretty decent.

i heard of this webbrowser called librewolf that seems ok.

Browsers have felt lacking to me for a long time now. It seems you always end up making a sacrifice for something. From waterfox I think I'm returning to firefox, just because of a bunch of inconveniences piling up. Most recently, the search shortcut box to search things like google recently stopped interacting with my cursor in any way other than selecting all text, but that's not the only thing.
So annoying.

I went back to Firefox after not using it since...I don't even know, probably 2008 at the latest. I like it a lot more than Chrome based browsers which I switched to. Not sure why I switched to be honest because Chrome was never any better I found...I guess I kind of just tried them out and forgot to go back to Firefox.

I'd like to try some other browsers out but almost all use the same small handful of browser engines, which is not that fun to me. And the few that don't use the usual stuff like Gecko, Blink and so on which means compatibility with some sites might be awkward.

I've honestly mostly stuck with Firefox for years, so much so that I wasn't even aware of their problems with userbase until relatively recently. I do have other browsers up for different purposes, like Librewolf, SeaMonkey and Konqueror, but as you can see most of those are also Firefox based. It just did what I needed to do without the Google/Microsoft drawbacks.
I wouldn't mind using something smaller like Midori or Falkon, but I still run in to problems with those on occasion.

Unironically w3m. I can't say why. I just like it. Its simple and reminds me of when I was a kid discovering the internet for the first time.
