Vivaldi. For me, in terms of usability, it's the closest thing to Opera (and by "Opera" I mean the browser that it was before moving to Blink/Chromium).
When X breaks, i use Lynx.
On desktop, Librewolf (Firefox) and Brave. Sometimes I need a Chromoum browser (thanks Google), and Brave is one of the better options.
On iOS, it doesnβt really matter. Though, I went with Brave. Ad blocking and background media playback is great.
On Android I use Mull, which is a hardened Firefox, with goals similar to Librewolf. Again, Brave as a backup.
chrome
Edge.
Librefox (a Firefox fork) or if I really just don't want to use that for sites like fandom, I can always rely on the text based Links browser to save the day.
Qutebrowser and Firefox
Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.
Brave. It got better privacy ratings than Firefox and I really like the design.
Desktop:
Mullvad browser as daily driver (Firefox + Arkenfox + Tor Browser + ublock origin out of the box)
Degoogled chromium for any logged in accounts, each in its own profile (I prefer the chrome profile switcher)
Tor Browser for any onion sites
Mobile:
Mull (Firefox)
Brave on both.
- Native vertical tabs +1
- tablet UIs
- scrolling velocity doesn't feel non-native
Would like to revisit Firefox once those are fixed.
vertical tabs are managed by extensions. i used tree style tab, now i'm using sidebery.
if you want to use sidebery, use the beta from the GitHub page. they completely rewrote the extension between v4 and v5
At home, Firefox. At work: Chrome because I'm a web developer and our app is currently broken in Firefox
Opera
Arc!
Mac - Opera main, Safari secondary, + Brave for free YouTube.
Orion (when it works 99% of the time) on my Mac. Itβs pretty much all the benefits of Safari plus the ability to run some Firefox/Chrome extensions. I know itβs not FOSS yet, but they at least claim to be working on it. Firefox for the other websites that donβt work on Orion (very rare), and Chrome for the others that donβt work well at all on Orion/Firefox (almost never). Iβm planning on deleting Chrome overall soon.
