Care to share the best options? I'm interested.

On KDE, “Falkon”. On GNOME, “Web”.

On Macs, Safari.

On all platforms, Firefox. Firefox is a little disppointing in that it’s still bundled with stuff you probably don’t want, but it’s far far less objectionable than Chrome, Edge, Brave.

Could you inform me how to get uBlock Origin working on Safari? Or any other adblocker that isn’t a joke?

Firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger + not shit ISP.

> + not shit ISP

I dearly wish I had an option for a non-shit ISP. But my only option is Comcast.

Honestly, though they are hyped a bit much to the general public, I have almost all my traffic on endpoints routed to ProtonVPN. Better than nothing and fuck ATT.

I split tunnel Fortnite, though.

Non-Chromium: Firefox

Chromium: Vivaldi

Vivaldi is pretty much closed source, no?

Yeah I really don’t know what to use anymore:

FF installs plugins without your consent. Brave installs software which can circumvent security controls without your consent.

Safari has no plugins and is Mac/iOS-only. Chrome is designed to be as privacy invasive as humanly possible. I think Edge is right behind it and has the added insult of looking like a Fischer-Price toy.

Arc, Vivaldi, Orion, and Opera are irrelevant jokes. I wouldn’t trust Pale Moon, Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromuim, etc. because I still remember Iron Browser.

I can’t use Google Meet on Lynx. Even if I could use Google Meet on Surf, I wouldn’t want to because the authors are Neo-Nazi trash.

And Ladybird isn’t anywhere near done yet!

What browser am I supposed to use??

Orion's just getting started. I trust in Kagi, for now. To cavil about "relevance" means you dismiss grassroots alternatives before they even have a chance.

Safari has plug-ins, Apple just calls them extensions.

I've never heard about this, can you elaborate? Are you talking about the Pocket stuff that comes built-in?

Why wouldn't you use say, Vivaldi? Sure, they're irrelevant in the market, but their product is good and likely what I'd be using if I wasn't using Brave.

> Vivaldi is a joke

From my experience it's the only browser that tries to improve UX on desktop. And it seems they do care about privacy.

I wonder why you call Orion irrelevant joke?
