Brave and Opera are goyware. If you have to use Chromium browsers use Ungoogled Chromium or a fork that supports Manifest v2, otherwise switch to either Librewolf or hardened Firefox

just stick to brave and ignore the antisemitic retard above me

>brave
Do not use it. Brave is the single piece of software which infuriates me the most because of the unfounded claims about its supposed security being repeated by people who call themselves "privacy experts". At least with other fake privacy software like common VPN programs it's normies selling it to normies. Brave's "Shields" feature is completely useless and allows most tracking scripts to function without issue. It actively collects telemetry on you if you do not opt out. If you do not opt out it also sends your browsing data to Jewgle via its "safe browsing" feature. It also sends a bunch of unsolicited requests to Google and Cloudflare which are impossible to disable. On top of that, there is their stupid crypto integration which wants you to watch advertisements in exchange for their worthless "BAT" (shit) tokens.

Good if and only if you use a hardened user.js config, such as arkenfox. If you do not, it is malware. The details of Mozilla's evils are too long to type out here, check out this article if you are interested https://digdeeper.club/articles/mozilla.xhtml)
>librewolf
It is actually good, the best criticism its detractors can come up with is that it is made by trannies, which may be true (I myself never bothered to check the so-called 'gender identity' of its developers). Keep in mind that it is effectively just Firefox with a user.js config and ublock origin installed by default.

If you wish to use a Chromium-based browser, the only one I can recommend is Ungoogled-Chromium. There are some others, like "Helium Browser", which I have heard good things about but I cannot attest to their quality myself. If you want to use a Firefox deriviative different than Librewolf, the only other decent option I am aware of is GNU Icecat. If you wish to use something different than the "giants", you can use Pale Moon or Basilisk (PaleMoon deriviative) but note that they are way behind the mainstream browsers in terms of web standards implementation (so web sites may not work properly) and security features, such as sandboxing. I myself use Pale Moon with some changes to the configuration, described here: https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/palemoon (yes, I am aware this is an ancient website but this particular guide is still relevant to latest Pale Moon versions) because I consider its lack of feature parity with so-called "modern" browsers to be a feature rather than a bug, and I refuse to use any web sites which are too needlessly complex ("modern") for the browser to handle.

brave origin (on linux) is basically the only good chromium, because it has fingerprint randomization and an "install ublock origin" button

librewolf and mullvad browser won doe cus its free on every os and has ublock origin

use any browser if you are normal person
use librewolf if you are pedophile and have 2 terabytes of csam on your hard drive

do not listen to this deranged troon seething about the based chud browser, their advice is like their gender: completely detached from reality. trannyfox is most insecure browser engine and its 0 day exploits are nearly worthless in comparison because almost nobody uses it

New standard for the web anyone?
Gopher and Gemini fail because lack of support and no client side scripting which is a must for 99% of web users.
Jewgle controls the web standard entirely and xey just add stuff arbitrarily to make it next to impossible for anyone to catch up. Even if someone, or certainly a group, can the codebase is millions of line if code so is therefore inherently compromised as such complexity almost guarantees that vulnerabilities will exist and the American oligarchy will find them with the help of silicon god.

Shits fucked. Are there any alternatives that don't suck?


Lots of web technologies are cool. WASM should be the only scripting available, it's so simple that an interpreter can be implemented in 400 lines of python. Point is there is some nice tech made for web but the web sucks so bad cus of all the bloat. We need a new standard that must be short, concise and difficult/impossible to append. Fuck backwards compatibility and fuck web devs, you are not real programmers, you are just Jewgle's henchgoys enforcing the infinitely growing standard.

Every permission must be explicitly granted by the user, fingerprinting should be impossible beyond IP address and a generic user agent by default even with client side scripting enabled since it should have no permissions by default, every permission (direct mouse input, direct keyboard input, screen dimensions, networking of any sort) must be explicitly given by the user.

We should hold a competition to make a new standard.

Firefox and it's forks

pale moon

Firefox is 10,000,000 lines of code, we need a new standard for the web. Even ladybird, a new independent browser that is not out yet is 1.6 million lines.

>>43258
last time i remembered it was only 500k?
the ai sloppening did a toll

>>43258
ladybird hasn't even released while goanna has. And it's the closest thing to a working alternative we have. For example you can get past Cloudflare (most non-mainstream engine browsers get blocked by it). Albeit If you use Goanna you sort of need extra browsers in some regard if you want to use normie sites for compatibility. However if all you do is browse simple websites you're honestly completely fine.

I use Google Chrome cause it just works

>>43285
>>43258
Ladybird is just more slop

>>43288
Ladybird is just for performative Redditor normies.

>>43290
I use Konqueror its the only usable browser imo

>>43170 (OP)
The best browser is Mullvad because you can block shitty's fingerprinting
