If I need a Chrome based browser, such as for Keychron Assistant, I use Helium.

Wait, Keychron Assistant works on Chromium? Are you on Linux? Big if true, I thought it just didn't work on Linux period.

Right now I use Vivaldi on my work computer. For my personal devices (MacBook, iPhone, two iPads), I've been mainly using Kagi's Orion browser for about a year. It's a WebKit browser but even on iOS it can run (some) Chrome/Firefox extensions, which I think is pretty neat. I also dabble with iCab. It's a very eccentric browser with an interesting history that goes back to the 90s.

It works in Helium and Edge, the two Chromium browsers I have used for such purposes. All my other browser usage is through Firefox.

I did find THIS tutorial to get Keychron to work in Linux.

See that was my idea till all the assholery happened. But if Ladybird is good and doesn’t require me to pay or see their shitty opinions I think I’d still use it. Cus to this day nothing feels better than a well configured hyprland to me at least

Waterfox.

But also sometimes use Zen, Librewolf or Firefox.

Don't really have a reason why I bounce around. I just do.

But definitely never a chromium browser unless I have to.

I can't close tabs and have hundreds open (I have a problem). Between their workspaces that only show specific tabs, tab stacking, and tab memory management that kills the memory of any that I haven't used in a while so it's not absurdly slow… I don't think I could switch.

edit: Also, it's EU based.

I was fine with Edge until they started cramming more AI features in on a daily basis. Now I use Vivaldi if I have to use chromium based

He moved from Sweden to Silicon Valley, made a bunch of money, but came to hate the "limousine liberal" culture, and felt he was severely discriminated against (in a professional sense) as a hetero white man.

So he left California, got sober, and went full time FOSS developer.

He is an asshole because he now enforces a strict "anti-woke" policy among his contributors, and bans anyone who falls out of line. It's one thing to ban controversial or political topics, but his interpretation takes things way past any semblance of reason.

A wild one i remember was when he banned someone for using singular they in some documentation, which has been a part of the English language since the Norman period at least. He said it was "political language".

Daily driving Mullvad Browser now, it’s Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that’s the price you pay.

Firefox, begrudgingly.

It's the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it's still a bit of a resource hog. It's just that everything else is worse (slower, lacking essential features, or most often both).

I’ll check out Orion. Extensions on iOS sound intriguing.

Waterfox and Zen. I switched to Waterfox a while ago and have had no problems with it. It's basically "Firefox minus AI," which is what I wanted it to be.

I started trying out Zen Browser a few days ago, too. It's another Firefox fork, but Zen is more willing to try new things with the UI. So far I like it.

So it's been Waterfox on Android and Zen on desktop lately. (Zen does not have an Android version.) They both support Firefox sync, and syncing works between the two of them. Pretty cool.

Oh cool, I had just assumed that it was Chromium-based when I first heard about it, simply because that's what most of them are.

I tried Librewolf for a while before switching to Waterfox. Librewolf has more built-in privacy features, but unfortunately it's just enough to make web browsing a little inconvenient. For example, Librewolf doesn't accurately tell a website what your timezone is, so the opening/closing hours on a store's website will sometimes be inaccurate.

Librewolf on desktop, ironfox on mobile. I don't agree with the direction Mozilla is going in, which is why I don't donate to them, but it's still kilometres better than chrome.

I can't wait until servo gets a stable release and browsers start popping up with that instead.

I mainly use Firefox as it's the best non-chromium browser I'm aware of for both Linux and android. But I also have Vivaldi installed on Linux for the rare cases where something doesn't work in Firefox, Waterfox on some of my older android devices because Firefox no longer supports the versions of android they run, and I also have F-Droid's Fennec on one of my phones because it used to be my primary browser on android and I just never got around to switching to Firefox on that phone.

For anyone wondering why I stopped using F-Droid's Fennec, it's just because at some point (possibly a few years ago) they announced that their browser was outdated and missing several security features from Firefox. It's possible that the browser is fully updated now, as it does seem to be receiving updates regularly, but I currently have no reason to switch back to using it as my primary browser on android. Now, if they were to revert the UI back to previous one, I'd have a reason to use it again. I really don't care for the UI both Firefox and Fennec have currently on android.
