Holy. Its a good thing tabs can go inactive now, lol. I saw an extension that allowed you to convert tabs to lists so you didn't need them open and you could even port your tab lists to other devices without the need for syncing... I think it was called OneTab? Yeah, just checked.
I recommended it to a friend who is a similar tab user and he uses it quite a bit now.
I hear you. It really is that smooth. Some may disagree, but I don't think there's anything wrong in choosing Brave. Just be sure to go through your settings and make certain that there's nothing on that you don't want on. They have a tendency to do that to their users.
I believe there was an update a while back that even turned things on that had been turned off by the user previously, but they claim it was an accident. But with any browser you should always keep an eye on your settings after updating, anyway.
This looks like a good read. I'm sure many of the Firefox recommended settings can be applied to it's various forks, too. Thank you for this! I've got it bookmarked and will be checking it out soon.
Nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own vision of what Firefox should be, and some just want the original experience.
Workplaces are the number one thing that keeps unpopular software afloat... at least you don't have to use it for anything personal. Chrome isn't unpopular, per se, but Google is definitely seeing a decline overall. I remember seeing an article that their search engine is actually losing % in numbers.
lol! I just grabbed librewolf-bin after talking about it here (actually, I've almost got it. I lost track and forgot to accept the yay prompts, lol).
Have you looked into creating your own local hosted homepage dashboard for tracking your servers and such? Its something I'm very interested in doing, but I need to learn from the ground up. There's so many AI answers now, much of it incorrect, that its getting more difficult to learn things on my own these days.
lol Poor IE. In the user setting that's all its good for. Good thing they still get businesses to use it. A big reason I love Linux is that it doesn't have Edge stuck to it like a leech and I don't even need a browser to get a browser (though I think this can also be accomplished in Windows if you know how).
Firefox and Brave was my duo for a long time, too.
I really love both of these browsers, I really do. They are amazing choices if you don't have the weird bugs and lag that I've unfortunately experienced. I still miss Vivaldi a lot.
I still occasionally check out Brave and it usually is quick and smooth every time. There was a time I solely used it for logins and personal applications.
Give Floorp a shot sometime, its so smooth and light if you're looking for something in the performance bracket.
I used to dive deep into personalizing Firefox, myself. Have you seen the CSS store on github?
https://firefoxcss-store.github.io/
It's not as active as it used to be, but still has some interesting CSS.
You're the first other user I've seen to mention IronFox. I have it as a backup. Its relatively new, isn't it? And it goes beyond to make sure it's privacy first. To the point where it won't even connect to third party apps for login purposes. Definitely my dark horse Android browser.
Iirc, you have to add the repository to F-Droid, which keeps it from being recognized more.
Ladybird is the most exciting thing to happen to browsers. Madlads really doing it, building from the ground up. I have mad respect for them. I gotta see if they have a donation page and give them some support. I want this to work and blow everything else out of the water.
Lol, yes I did. I only dropped Chrome completely when they dropped adblock support. Curiosity would always get me and I'd try Chrome-based browsers against my better judgement.
