Web browsers

[Mr_Simnock]

I'm finding firefox doesn't seem to function well with more and more websites, anyone got any recommendations for an alternative. I use windows 7 and think Edge and chrome are a bit poo so don't suggest them. Maybe it's time to get windows 10 but I'm trying to put that off till I get a new PC sometime this year.

Not sure how well Brave works on Windows 7, but it's my daily browser now. Doesn't seem to eat as many resources as chrome even though it is based on chromium itself.

Don't try Ice Dragon. Had my fingers burned there.

[Dr Rock]

Try Opera

An increasing number of websites are being optimized for Chrome alone so the answer is to switch to it, another Chromium browser (Brave/Edge), or accept the issues with Firefox and have one of those as a backup browser

what the fuck for?

[Mr_Simnock]

I won't use bloated snoopy shit like chrome, I'll stick with firefox

[Cloud]

Still finding that Chrome performs the best. There's always Ungoogled Chromium if you're allergic to the whole mass data collection thing

what the fuck for?

Why allocate resources to support other browsers when no one is using them?

There are dozens of us. DOZENS

I've always found Chrome performs like dogshit from a dead dog's arse. My aged mother asked me to help set up her new laptop recently, I tried to put chrome on it as I thought the UI would be cleaner and easier to use, but it was so slow it was unusable. But Firefox is fine.

I use Firefox and find it to be fine for pretty much every site, the ones I visit, anyway.

Doesn't Brave mine crypto in the background, or did they stop doing that?

They stopped it, though there's some crypto wallet integration shite that is a mild pain in the arse to switch off.

I've been using Brave as my main browser for a couple of years now, and haven't had any issues with it. The main downside versus something like Firefox is the Chromium base. They don't track your behaviour like Chrome itself does, but plugins come from the Chrome store meaning things like YouTube downloaders have been nixed. I keep Firefox on hand for the occasions I need to use a different browser, but it's been months since I've opened it.
