I use vanadium (and graphine) on my phone but I use Brave on my desktop.
Until last year I had been using Firefox since around 2007, but I started having awful performance issues.
I ran a ton of tests on a large variety of browsers (including some niche early development browsers) and Brave (with every BS feature disabled) outperformed all of the others by a wide margin.
If there was a foss browser with functioning adblock, no BS features or political ideologies, and reasonable performance, I would switch right away... But all 3 is a tall order.
Also, I wanna note, before I switched I tried every Firefox config and all of the performance focused forks. I tried messing with memory usage and hardware acceleration, and even running it in sandboxes/flatpak... Either way it would consume tons of resources at idle, and would sometimes crash my machine when I kept it running while starting up my hypervisor or blender or my IDE or a resource hungry game.
Brave just works, and has functional adblock.
so is there a reason one of the browsers I listed above + ublock origin (not the lite version , Mv2 still exists on Cromite and Ungoogled) won't work for your usecase?
I don't think trivalent existed yet when I did my tests, and I didn't realize Mv2 still worked on ungoogled chromium. I feel like I might have suspected that support would get pulled eventually, but it has been more than a year. I use ungoogled chromium for some web based HID driver stuff.
Might as well give them a try!
I figured I aught to return to this to let you know... I ran a bunch of tests and trialed some new browsers for my use case, and ungoogled chromium is working great for me.
Nearly identical performance to Brave (after tweaking some settings and flags), and Mv2 uBlock working perfectly.
Thanks for pushing me to give other browsers a try again!
You're welcome, I'm glad to hear it worked out for you!! This is the most positive Lemmy interaction ive had in a bit lol
