Ask HN: What browser do y'all use?
2 points by br0gi3 14 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 11 comments
An age-old question. I've been testing out various browsers but haven't found one that truly satisfies me. Any recommendations?





Computer: Firefox and occasional Ungoogled Chromium. Firefox for the plugins and standards.

Mobile: Fennec, IronFox (Mull discontinued), Bromite, Ungoogled Chromium. I much prefer tab management in Fennec/Firefox variants.


I try to Tor at home when I can. For everything else, generally Firefox.

Had been using ungoogled chromium but now I use zen browser. There was an issue with firefox based browsers but removing the cache fixed it.

Zen is lovely


Firefox, with lots of tweaks. Out of box it is as dumb as chrome. After tweaks it’s half as dumb, but bearable.

My “truly satisfies” is in vivaldi / presto opera sector. I switched to avoid sudden dead end due to mv3.


Firefox.

Simple.

Since I work at MSFT, I use Edge on my work computer. My personal computer I use Chrome. I like to keep my bookmarks and browsing history separate between work and personal.

I use some of the same extensions (Bitwarden being the most important, and Freedom for blocking social media and other timewasters, until 8pm each day).

Firefox is the alternative to a Chrome hegemony (batsov.com)
