I need a better option then. What can yall suggest?

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Firefox

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Sure I use that too but you should have at least one chromium based browser for certain features though.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I use LibreWolf (FireFox fork) + Ungoogled Chromium

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

This is my setup, and I never actually use ungoogled chromium.

If I have some kind of issue that I need to work around immediately rather then figure out, I usually just open Firefox and try that.

Vivaldi? (Sort of continuation of Opera, run by it's former CTO.)

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Vivaldi is OK, but I would replace it with something else. It's a pretty busy UI and I have had issues with it freezing in Fedora 42 KDE.

I personally haven't had to use a chromium browser for anything yet since my swith to Firefox. Only to test a render bug in chromium that Google hasn't bothered to fix in over 9 years for a case that works correctly in every other browser.

Why should you? What are these certain features?

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes some tools do not work with Firefox. It‘s a niche but I‘ve run into it a few times just recently. For example with a gamepad enabler tool where Firefox simply won‘t be able to see your USB input.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The thing is, Firefox follows web standards. Chrome doesn’t always and websites put in custom code that works only with Chrome.

I’d rather use the browser that follows standards.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Well I‘m not saying you should use chromium as your main browser. In fact I think you shouldn‘t. But sometimes there is no way around it. It‘s okay to be realistic about these things.

Mozilla also has many problems

[–] kerntucky@infosec.pub 1 points 2 days ago

I'm out of the loop. What are the many problems with Mozilla?

I saw you mention the Mr. Robot extension in another comment. That looks to be a bad decision but what else are the "many problems?"
