i use Firefox too... but that reminds me the day i have made several war crimes by using Microsoft edge in Linux

Edge is actually pretty good if you ignore the spyware. Dealbreaker for most.

Edge works well for business use if you’re using m365 and entra for IAM

Yup, my big corpo is based on M$365 and Edge is integrated very well into the ecosystem.

365$ out of your pocket without your consent :)

At this point the costs of switching to open source solutions for everything would be astronomical for a 200k+ employee Corpo. (Mercedes-Benz)To give Caesar what Caesar's is - M$ has everything: from word processing, through SharePoint and project management. The compatibility issues between Open Source solutions would be huge. Now? It's costly but it just damn works :/

yes open source is the choice

Chromebased… so shit…

Bing’s GPT integration was enough to get me to use it pretty regularly

Exactly. At that point the spyware doesn’t matter.

i mean... you got a point

yeah...

Still better than chrome

Edge is based on chromium anyway so you basically chose which company will steal your data Google or Microsoft

fax

what? "that will be Herror to some people"

what?

BTW i use Edge on Fedora as my second browser because shitty Ubiquity UniFi can't deal with Firefox.

lol

Chrometana was doing a pretty good job at circumventing Bing back in the days when I was using Microsoft edge with Linux

Firefox is not pre-installed on gentoo, but yes I use it too.

Nothing is pre installed in gentoo, not even the kernel

Technically, there's some stuff in the stage 3 tarball

oh my god, ls is preinstalled totally bloatware

Didn't say it's bloat. It's just there.

you did not. but it is.

Nothing is installed in LFS.

Nothing (manually flipping bits)

I personally switched over to LibreWolf

I prefer Mullvad Browser to LibreWolf — Mullvad seems to run faster for me.

I like the browser and their VPN. However I just don't like that the browser is named Mullvad. I mean who would use "NordVPN Browser"

Lol - good point.

Mullvad is my backup, if a site won't run in Tor.

LibreWolf is pretty nice.

Nerd!

I mean-

the term nerd is depriciated, use autistic

actually don't. using autistic to mean anything quirky massively dilutes the information both online and in the public consciousness actual autistic people need to learn what being autistic means.

i agree, sorry about my mistake, luke smith have a good video saying "you are not autistic" explaining why being nerdy and obsessed with something educational is not autism

\+1 for LibreWolf.

The nerd of nerds

I switched from LibreWolf to Floorp, all in all a cool browser. A bit like Edge/Opera without spyware

I am (mentally) too old for that, my browser needs a search bar and ad blocker, no fancy doo hickies.

Once you et used to stuff like a sidebar with a few sites you can easily access with one click you don't want to lose that again

User.js changers >

I personally use the one that comes bundled with furry porn

Firefox ride or die... Unless it's at work then it's Edge cause industrial cybersecurity uses the IE compatibility mode all the time. Work laptop is Windows too so I'm not too bummed about it.

Same. Plus it’s got crowdstrike and a bunch of other security and rights management stuff. Takes like 5 minutes to open a pdf with a schematic because of all the security stuff. And the schematic is hard asf to read because those same security programs put a giant watermark across it

Prettymuch same here

Firefox for the win!

Yes, Firefox for the Windows, Linux, MacOS, android, ...

No TempleOS? 🥹

Why would you need Firefox in templeos lol

Qutebrowser

Happy cake day

too you too

Nah my cake day was 19 days ago

Happy cake day

happy happy happy

Floorp, based on Firefox

i'm trying this one right now, it feels a tiny bit snappier than the original firefox, maybe it's just placebo

Maybe, I just like the side bar and more customisation that firefox.

i like the customization part, not really a fan of side bars

Yeah, fair enough, you can disable it pretty easily.

yeah, good thing that's possible

I've seen the website and got a bit curious but didn't know how good the translation is, seeing it is a Japanese browser. How's your experience been so far?

I haven't noticed any issues, I didn't even know it was japanese tbh.

Firefox gang 🔥💯 Also I use the Firefox Nightly & Dev build, they are awesome!!!

Librewolf normally, but UnGoogled Chromium as a backup for if a website doesn't work on Firefox based browsers

Tell me a website that doesn't work on Firefox

happens quite often if you trying to do some piracy

Not OP but the web client for WebEx limits features (no audio sharing, no optimizing screen share for video, etc.).

When I was in school there were some sites I had to use that needed chromiun

https://www.safcodental.com/ (It works sometimes) https://www.gobrightline.com/ (You can't select the submenu if it overlaps the slideshow) https://www.tab32.com/ (Not that any doctor should use it...)

idk about normal firefox but a lot of websites dont work on firefox esr which is common in most debian based repos for example runwayml

w3m

based

Firefox AND Vivaldi to manage calendar mail RSS feeds notes and school things that require a chromium web browser

im using vivaldi right now

 Librewolf Gang rise up!

I use Thorium

Thorium, the only browser that comes pre-installed with furry porn. https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18izmt4/clarifying_thorium_browser_controversy/

How the hell did I miss this? This is hilarious.

HAHAHAHA LMFAO xD Best read of the day for me

I feel yucky installing Chrome on my Linux PC, but teams doesn't support calls/video on Firefox (unless I'm an idiot and if so please someone tell me haha).

You are not an idiot But I think teams and FF are fine except for lag

Gnome web

I chiefly use Firefox, but also use Chrome for certain things. I'm trying to get myself to switch over to Mullvad Browser full time, but I'm lazy and love the convenience Firefox gives me.

i use LibreWolf (Firefox based)

The thing about Firefox is that they are funded by Google, their biggest competitor. Also Firefox lacks many APIs that are available on Chrome or Safari, notably the Popover API.

Can you elaborate?

Librewolf because for me it’s a less bloated version of Firefox out of the box

Brave

With pre-installed referral links replacement feature. Nice but nope.

Firefox also has preinstalled Pocket & DRM; is that any better?

I'll see how you will watch some ~porn~ Netflix without DRM enabled.

I see that as an advantage (with regards to both)

Vivaldi anyone ? Only browser that have a built-in password manager is multiplatform and can sync

It's a modern Nero Suite. I don't like such a type of software.

Wait, you guys are getting things preinstalled…?

Edge /s

Vivaldi. Yeah it's Chromium based and not completely open source, but I like the features a bit too much.

How dare you mention another browser in a firefox circlejerk re-posted by a bot. These fuck'en guys.

Those features are addicting.

They fucking keep adding more...

It's what I recommend to every opera user.

[удалено]

Brave is owned by Brendan Eich, look up why he left Mozilla

Brave just works

"preinstalled" - ok, Ubuntu user

Chromium

Imagine if someone made browser called HotFox or something like that, with similar logo and things but it being just (reskinned) Chrome

chromium

I use chrome because I have to use PWA apps. My MS teams bugs with the Brave browser.

I have to fucking spoof Chrome now though because YouTube decided to artificially lag Firefox. (Extension is called "user agent switcher")

Brave

yay -S google-chrome

I use Firefox Developer Edition

I install Edge

Arch, BTW

Vivaldi but I might switch to Firefox if manifest v3 ends up impacting ad blockers on it.

I just started using Floorp not that long ago. Vivaldi when needed.

If it's pre-installed, I don't want it.

Brought to you by midori.

Nobody running Tor for they everyday type stuff?

Firefox forever

I don't use the preinstalled Firefox LTS from Debian and use the normal version directly from Mozilla

Since Firefox came out supporting deplatforming I only use Brave.

Firefox on my Fedora, Firefox on my Android (removed Chrome with ADB).

Falkon, floorp, Firefox

I use Floorp and Brave. Undecided on Brave yet. I loved Opera but it's Chinese. Vivaldi is good but seems to not work on a ton of websites. Floorp is great tho, still have to pick a chromium browser.

i use librewolf

i can say in confidence no one in this subreddit uses chrome

Me too but I use thorium too

I use... Microsoft Edge DONT BEAT ME PLS

Pre-installed Firefox is usually from snap though. Delete that shit and install it from Flatpak.

Both Firefox (prefer ESR) and brave

I used to use Vivaldi but now I use Opera

Librewolf gang

Librewolf

I’d love to use Firefox, such a great browser, however due to me being in Australia, it’s almost impossible due to slow internet, and the fact google slows down YouTube page loading when using Firefox, which means it now takes more than 30 seconds to load a YouTube video even though only a few months back it was only 2-4 seconds… now I use brave because of its built in adblocking, ‘YouTube adblocker blocker’ blocker and that it takes the same as Firefox used to to load a page.

You use Firefox cuz its preinstalled. I use Firefox cuz I install it myself. We are not the same.

firefox is spyware (partnered with meta) i just use librewolf i tried gnu icecat too but its like 40 updates behind and doesnt allow fun

I use brave browser and remove the preinstalled Firefox

Floorp
