Looks great, but their only focus is desktop it seems (ie, no android solution)

Opera was sold off to Chinese investors, and I recall stories about it offering sketchy banking/bitcoin services.

Lynx is the only one I trust, but it's quite limited. Everything else has my suspicion.

What's the lynx-but-graphical alternative?

I just want a minimal web view and input a URL. Why doesn't this exist

I see Vivaldi is good browser, operated by former opera people

RedHobbit|4 years ago

I've been using Vivaldi ever since reintroduced tab stacking which I loved from the Opera days. Solid browser, no complaints.

babypuncher|4 years ago

Vivaldi is still Chrome though

abandonliberty|4 years ago

Yes, I'm in Vivaldi as well. For now! We need to avoid making software/product choices part of our identity.

A true firefox fan would've raised the alarm years ago, and voted with their feet when it kept moving in the wrong direction and stopped being the best option on the market.

Loving a brand no matter what they do is suboptimal.

I read about librewolf the other day which is a fork of firefox.

Edit: BTW what happens if I download Firefox from site like Softpedia.All the people who downloaded Firefox from this website have same identifier?

hiccuphippo|4 years ago

Yes, the article mentions Mozilla's http repository[0] and some other third party as ways to download it without a unique identifier.

[0] https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

I've been using librewolf for a while after experiencing issue with waterfox.

it is not really a full fork of firefox, it's firefox with a few patches applied and sane default configuration.

What is controversial about Brave? Seems like the best alternative at the moment IMHO

vlark|4 years ago

Some folks object to the Brave Rewards system and the embedded crypto wallet.

babypuncher|4 years ago

Even without all the controversies, Brave is still Chrome.

They report anonymised data that can be turned off. They also connect to servers for auto updates and safe browsing checks, everything you would expect of a modern secure browser.

The people upset with brave for auto updates also consider tor browser spyware because it checks for updates LOL.

Careful, Opera is owned by a Chinese company that is controlled by the CCP.

What you want is Vivaldi.

Librefox https://github.com/intika/Librefox/

aembleton|4 years ago

As pointed out elsewhere, this is unmaintained, and you should instead use https://librewolf.net/

bigbugbag|4 years ago

waterfox and librewolf.

then otter, seamonkey, falkon, k-meleon, srware iron, qutebrowser, comodo dragon and comodo icedragon, dooble, midori, epic.

NylaTheWolf|4 years ago

I always thought Otter was just a mobile browser! Thanks for sharing! I love hearing about obscure browsers!
