I'm trying to figure out the best browser combination for my needs. Generally, Firefox covers almost everything I need, but it's slow on Android and drains a lot of battery. I've tried Vivaldi, Chrome, and Brave. Of these, only Brave has the features I need, like full history sync (not just typed URLs), and the ability to send tabs to other devices. However, with its focus on crypto and AI, it seems too hype-driven for me. Also, none of them work on FreeBSD without using a Linux jail.

Any suggestions?

Someone else's mentions maybe aren't the place to put this, so I'll put it in my own timeline, where I get to say whatever TF I want:

Czeka nas zmiana w sposobie wyszukiwania informacji? Brave właśnie uruchomił moduł AI (interaktywnie.com) Polish

Skoncentrowana na prywatności wyszukiwarka Brave ogłosiła, że zmodernizuje swój system wyszukiwania tak, by zwracał odpowiedzi oparte na sztucznej inteligencji. Nowa funkcja jest dostępna dla użytkowników na całym świecie.

Yesterday afternoon, I saw all the extra stuff they added to the sculpture in the esplanade during the 15 hours since I'd seen it last. It's very nice, but my lament is that for Pixar, they often focus on the same several films. I appreciate that they've added a few more to this celebration, like and and , 1/2

browser failed again. I don't know why is that issue so singular with cdrom.tokyo site that becomes blank and I'm forced to delete all data from Vivaldi to make the site back online. (even I have to re-log in every site and make new passwords for each accounts.
Happened the same with the other apps as and Dissenter before. Is that because of cdrom.tokyo?
I don't get.

And now, the site is working so slow... is that me or the server?

Help me...

I'm a web perf nerd, so I install every browser I can find and run all the benchmarks on https://browserbench.org on a regular basis.

I notice that (on Windows 11) Firefox is much better at Speedometer 3.0 than it was on 2.0.

It's scoring as well as Chrome most of the time, and outperforms Opera and Edge handily.

It still sucks at Jetpack 2.1 and MotionMark 1.3 though.

@Vivaldi is coming out on top right now!

Sad to say that Vivaldi's PWA support is non-existent. I guess I'll have to stick with Brave.

Fingerprinting-Testseiten suggerieren oft, dass man eindeutig erkennbar ist. Das ist allerdings nicht entscheidend, sondern ob man über Surf-Sessions hinweg wiedererkennbar/verfolgbar ist. Der Tor-Browser, Mull oder auch Brave schneiden hierbei gut ab. Am Ende gilt aber auch: Lasst euch nicht verrückt machen. 😉

Stop using Brave Browser

The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers. Some of that has come from its marketing as a privacy-preserving web browser, and it has also been repeatedly evangelized by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

Your thoughts on this?

In private search we only have Brave and Duck Duck Go the later have been caught selling data but this seems shady especially number 2 and number 3 😬

Starting to question brave and some of their motives.

  1. Support private, independent search
  2. See search results ad-free
  3. Get a cleaner view on all results pages

    @informapirata @informatica questo risultato dovrebbe spingere i programmatori di ad implementare finalmente un motore di rendering diverso da quello di safari mobile. Cosi finalmente potremmo vedere come vanno i browser alternativi sotto ios. Peccato per potrebbe essere un incenttvo. Ma il ceo taglia taglia, pensa ai soldi e non a migliorare il prodotto. Ultimamente chi ha le risorse non possiede idee innovative, chi ha le idee innovative non possiede le risorse.

    Ultimamente sto ricominciando ad usare invece di come browser principale. Lo faccio un po' a malincuore, perché so bene che il browser di rappresenta l'ultima speranza per un web aperto e indipendente. Tuttavia come @filippodb ha spesso sottolineato, Brave è effettivamente più efficiente in termini di risorse e la mia esperienza di questi giorni gli dà ragione. La mia batteria si consuma molto più lentamente quando uso Brave.

    Rappel : À partir du mois de juin, Chrome (et ses dérivés) vont fortement se merdifier.
    En effet va entrer en vigeur le ManifestV3 de Google.

    Conséquences:

    • les bloqueurs de publicité seront limités à 30 000 règles, pas plus.
    • ils ne pourront plus se mettre à jour quotidiennement, mais seulement lors de publication de nouvelles versions des extensions (que Google met parfois jusqu'à 3 semaines à valider)

    @Vivaldi yep I back up my bookmarks physically every 4 days too. Plus import them to all browsers I have installed on the Mac. (In total I therefore have them in , , , , , ). Paranoid much about losing them. 😉
