On: Tell HN: Lobste.rs blocking the Brave browser

[prmph]

I see. And I thought Brave was quite trustworthy, maybe not so much now. Firefox not working well for me: It is resource hog. Guess I'll need to keep looking.

I’m currently using Onion (https://onionbrowser.com/ - from the people who make Kagi search) and it’s been quite good. Not perfect, but it’s getting there. I recommend giving it a try.

Kagi’s browser is Orion https://kagi.com/orion not to be confused with Onion

Anecdata to the contrary: on my Android devices I've switched from Brave to Firefox maybe a year ago (exactly because of the Lobste.rs story) and I found out performance to be completely acceptable for my needs.

And both solve youtube ads, which is how high I set the bar.

I see. Firefox is the only browser on my machine (Macbook Air M1) that regularly consumes massive amounts of RAM, typically like 4 GB or more.
