Librewolf (I love the privacy) Tor browser (To browse onion sites/View webgl websites or privacyintrusive sites)
I’m curious, how do you find your site’s? Is the whole ecosystem sketch?
There is a search engine for it and sometimes from my friends/youtube it isn’t super hard to find onion sites (if this is what you mean)
As of late using konqueror, it quite bs-less
I think there is a generaal consensus to say it’s not ARC
great point
I have only tried Zen from your list and it’s been nice so far. The most recent update last night broke something with the multi account containers, but other than that it’s been smooth sailing for months.
Ladybird looks promising but it’s not out yet. Planning to try switching to it when it’s out.
Arc is apparently dead (or dying), but it was chromium based, VC funded, and Zen does most of the same things anyway. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/24/24279020/browser-company-ai-browser-arc
I gave up on firefox 1 year ago and went to the dark side with Brave. I am really happy with it even tho part of it is closed source.
I moved to LibreWolf back when Mozilla announced AI features
I appreciate its privacy-focused approach
I still use firefox despite their questionable leadership, for one major reason: it prevents Google from setting whatever web standards they want. Sites that aren’t standards compliant will usually still work in Chromium-based browsers, but they will break in Firefox, and then I can report the bugs.

I’m a very recent linux convert, coming from windows where I was using Vivaldi and I quite like it. But… are there reasons to switch to something else?
https://qutebrowser.org/ and Librewolf
Trivalent, i.e. “a hardened chromium for desktop Linux inspired by Vanadium”. Vanadium, for the uninitiated, is the browser found on GrapheneOS; the most secure and privacy-friendly/conscious OS for phones.
Gnome browser, I’d use ladybird but it’s not ready yet
Mullvad browser, simply I used to used hardened Firefox but a pre-hardened one is so much more efficient
My issue is that while i am concerned about privacy, i’m more concerned with security patching. And none of these smaller browsers have the resources to turn around security fixes as quickly as firefox or chrome.
Firefox is the least of the concerns as long as we have the config options to disable anything deemed not privacy-respecting.
Firefox. I can’t imagine they would do something stupid like this with the little marketshare they have, but nothing surprises me anymore.
Does ublock work with any of these alternatives?
IIRC, it’s one of the few add-ons that does work with Librewolf.
That said, the main reason I don’t use is, if I’m remembering the right browser, it just goes way too far with the privacy protections. There’s literally a single thing that’s a deal breaker for me, and that’s the inability to use dark mode on websites. It’s absolutely blinding to the point of being essentially unusable for me.
I use DarkReader on Librewolf, works just fine. In fact, all of my extensions work.
Hm, maybe I’m remembering a different browser when it comes to the extensions thing. I’m thinking of one that used an older version of Firefox’s addon system, so has all of three maintained ones.
Well, either way, is dark reader.actually any good? Every non-native solution for dark mode I’ve ever tried has been a complete piece of crap, just lazily inverting the page contents, images often included.
I’ve never heard of librewolf preventing dark mode. Garuda’s firedragon browser was based on librewolf before switching to floorp, and it came with the darkreader extension by default.
