kiwi browser is better as it supports every single extension on the chrome web store.

@@lolcathost my point was about 'play in background' - does your proprosed altnernative allow that?

I prefer Firefox because it isn't based on the Chromium engine. That means it helps prevent Google having a monopoly on the rendering engine. That's really important in case Google decides to do something shady like Manifest V3. Having competition in this space is important.

[@wyterabitt2149]

Yea, you are either not using something based on Chrome/Chromium, or you are supporting Google regardless. All Chromium based browsers allow Google to wield their influence on the web for their own benefit the same as IE once did.

[@gmcg4263]

When it comes to mobile, I use: Vivaldi - Work-related Firefox Focus - Disposable browser Desktop: Edge: PDF Reader and Editor Vivaldi: Work Firefox: Disposable searches (although not in sync with my Android phone) I tried to use Brave but I prefer the sync via an account than a per-device encryption so, I switched to Vivaldi

[@lightning18726]

On 27.08.2024 I deleted my Mozilla account and uninstalled FireFox. I switched to Brave browser.

Something that is all rounder

[@AtPlume]

If you want an app that does it all I'm not sure. However, currently I don't use a to-do app, so I can't really help with that. But I'm using a combination of Proton Calendar, as well as Notesnook for my notes. Notesnook is fully open source and it is just great overall. I also use it for basic reminders.

[@zackshannon834]

Obsidian is a great note-taking app and proton is great for mail and it also has a calendar app on it that I'm using that I enjoy.

[@IndianStoics]

Proton, Proton's ecosystem is the best for android as far as I know.

Vivaldi is the only browser that truly does everything including cross-platform, or Kiwi if you need custom add-ons. Firefox, Brave and Chrome... not great in comparison.

[@VivaldiBrowser]

[@handle32169]

Kiwi is great for extensions, however it (has to?) talk to Google servers almost constantly

[@rjbse]

Brave just because of the ecosystem, nice to be able to share tabs and history across devices and having multiple profiles

[@aivy-aigeneratedmusic6370]

Super happy with Vivaldi. Think it's massively underrated

I use Safari for the most part; Chrome occasionally when some webpage will not work in Safari.

[@anonemoose102]

How good is safari with privacy and security compared to Firefox

[@Cybersader]

I would use firefox if it were easier to manage tabs between mobile/desktop and open them easily in bulk or groups. That was a the dealbreaking issue for me. I always end up at Brave

[@JoshuaMorgan]

Thanks for the suggestions, Henry! I love Brave on desktop, but settling on a good mobile browser has been a problem for me. I'll have to try Brave there too!

In mobile only Firefox supports extension. I used a browser called kiwi browser based on chrominium that supports chrome extension on mobile, but somethings didn't work properly. They say chromium browsers are fast, but for my daily use I don't notice a difference, so I'm sticking to Firefox.

[@basdfgwe]

I use chrome, just to watch youtube. Otherwise ive always used firefox, and now some brave. But i prefer using something other chromium so that we have at least a bit of competition other than webkit.

[@SoMang92]

Any thoughts on Arc? 😅

[@AtPlume]

I am always wary of companies like ARC, which have this flashy, colorful look to them, but they're really just a startup funded by venture capitalists with no business plan. So until they figure out a proper way to make money, I'll be wary of them. Also, just like Orion, it is a Mac only browser.

[@XM394-xxx]

Kiwi Browser for the win

[@pperrinuk]

I liked brave when it had KYC free BAT/Advertising stuff... even if it wasn't so good for UK creators -- but having a KYC'd service snooping on all my donattons etc is the least private thing that you could do with crypto!

Why on Earth would it matter if the browser is cross-device compatible? Literally does not matter at all. If you want to sync your bookmarks and stuff, pretty much any FireFox fork can sync with any other FireFox fork, and so on. It's just a web browser, not rocket science.

Some people prefer to use the same look and feel across desktop and mobile.

[@simonmaersk]

@@BillAnt Sure, but they don't need to sync in order to obtain that

i'd never use anything other than chrome, every other browser is chrome with a different theme over it and some privacy features that i don't care about, and firefox based browsers are just so slow and unusable, i've tried so many browsers and they're all just the same old thing, chrome but slightly different looking with almost no benefits, i hate chrome but i hate all of these more, there's just no good web browsers anymore, they're all the same, slow garbage
