Just regular old chrome on desktop for me. Yeah yeah I know, goodle man bad, I might change eventually but it would have to be such a catastrophic change in how it works now for me to bother. I tried Vivaldi a could of years ago and at the time it was just a bit too odd, j can’t remember how but I did not like it.
On mobile, do they all use the base android web renderer thing?, but it is Naked Browser, very simple and fast, never has problems with any page I visit because it does for sure use the same back end as android chrome.
Eh… No, no it didn’t, someone posted asking why we don’t all throw money at them (off topic: I am suspecting it was some one affiliated with Mozilla more and more now) and everyone responded with variations on, its not good any more.
Every problem you outline with it was all the points made against it. So that sounds about in line with what came up. Interesting you note tracking is on, did Mozilla not make a big song and dance about how they were disabling stuff like that by default? Or was that just cookies and such?
The using Google search is not surprising at all, Goolge pay Mozilla a wedge or cash every year to keep it as the default and Mozilla accept because, well their browser is crap and people don’t want to use it leading to less money so more reliance on the Google bucks.
Sorry back on topic.
I might try Brave eventually? Maybe, not sure how their advertising thing works, watch ad, get funny bucks, ???, profit? Was there something about being able to choose who your monopoly money goes to? Or is that just a “choose to watch ad on X channels YouTube video, money goes to them” type deal?
Other than that I find ads so completely irrelevant to my interests that I do not even entertain their idea any more. Car insurance for women, I don’t have a car or am a woman… Life insurance for over 65s… Eh… Okay. Browsing for computer parts, how about ads for renting colocation space, I just wanted an SSD. Oh oh edit: I forgot one, all the ads that are only applicable in the US, because you know nowhere else on the planet exists… F’in WOO! Ad companies are so incredibly out of touch that unless they directly benefit either me or the people its getting in the way of me enjoying I will not have them.
