what browser do you use?
| Chrome
| &
| Firefox
| Dual browsers for life
| Vivaldi!
| W3M
| Waterfox
Lynx
Tor-Browser
| BTW. I love the not so well known feature of multiple profiles in Mozilla based browsers.
Chrome is big brother shit. Better use „chromium“
Also konqueror from KDE and qupzilla are interesting, when it is about performance.
| Firefox Quantum and brave browser
| Firefox aura update channel
| Opera XD
| I think, I'm the only man in danger, who uses edge for serious.
| Firefox with https everywhere per this threads reccomendation
| curl
| IE6 and Netexplorer
| links -g and Firefox.
| GNU/Emacs supersedes everything listed above.
| Pale Moon most of the time, and chromium for when all my extensions and mods break a website
| Waterfox, all other browsers are not worthwhile.

Waterfox
wikipedia; However, in 2016 64-bit Waterfox performed worse than 64-bit Mozilla Firefox in the Kraken, SunSpider, JetStream, and Octane 2.0 benchmarks.
W3m
wikipedia; Last stable release was 7 years ago..
| I'm using gngr 0.3.13.
| >be me
>basic as hell
>"I use Firefox"
| I'm using Juno when on Dial-up and Coc Coc when not.

I don't trust the standard Firefox, Waterfox emphasize on privacy.
I don't even care if it's slower, Waterfox fits my needs: open source, privacy, not bloated.

About w3m, it has the perfect keybindings for me, I love the modal style, and it works perfectly.
I don't understand why a text-only browser have to be cutting edge.
Its only flaw is the loss of a way to browse the gopher net.

| I so agree with the w3m comment. The fact that it has not been updated as of late is a good thing. It means the product is solid and stable and properly done to reach its goals for a wonderful text mode browser.
There is no point changing/updating a good product simply because updating products is hip and trendy. The less something changes, it means it is a good product. Updating often means you cover and patch deficiencies.

But doesn't Mozilla Firefox also focus on privacy?
How does waterfox focuses more on privacy?
And doesn't Mozilla have a perfect track record?

Sure, leave all the bugs and exploits untouched and watch most of the browser's features get outdated.
The *main* point of updates is not to make a product "hip", it is to make it up-to-date. Try to use a 10 years old browser on a modern website. Almost everything will be broken. HTML, CSS, JS and PHP still get updates (afaik) so the browsers must catch up to the latest versions of those languages or they'll just become forgotten (like Netscape for example).
| All those things make no sense in text browser. Most of the security issues today come from ayecandy addiction. Remove that and you have solved 90% of all those things creeping up your system through your browser.
| And html does not change like that. It is a standard well established for incredibly long that the newer version, html5, is facing the laziness of adoption despite its good enhacements. And some drm like stuff which are unwanted, or so I hear.
While php has nothing to do with a browser. How a server decides to generate the html stream to sent to the browser is not important.
So basically it all boils to fluff. CSS, js with its countless variants, flash... That is basically it.

Recently installed a fresh Firefox and noted a lot of analytics defaulted.
See privacytools.io for a list of changes necessary, waterfox implements most of them automatically.

I think that the maintaining of a text-only browser requires less attention, they deal only with HTML/(basic)CSS. Until the standard is retro-compatible I don't see a problem.

I use Firefox with noscript, ublock and privacy badger.
My browser blocks tracking ads, and invisible tracker.
But it does not protect from fingerprinting and has a nearly unique fingerprint.
What can I do?
| Mostly Brave and also Firefox
| Why'd you guys care so much on browsers?
| Isn't chrome like the goto search engine?
| Don't kill me, I use Edge
| You are killing yourself if you use edge. Use Firefox.
| I'm a Microsoft fanboy, edge is pretty cool in the insiders preview,
| qutebrowser
| i use ice weasel like the turbo c/u/nt i am
| Choose your level of hip:
1. I clicked a net neutrality banner once.
- Use Firefox
2. The government has cameras in your toilet, dude. #wokeAF
- Use Waterfox
3. The internet was better in the 90s.
- Use Pale Meme (Pale Moon)
Then, install uBlock Origin. Everything else is bloatware.

Appendum:
4. I fucking hate the world. Joy is a social construct created by mankind to mask the evil lying beneath their actions. Burn everything and start the population over again.
- Use a text browser on a CLI Arch install with <100 packages on your Librebooted T61 Thinkpad.
Btw, I use Arch.
| Waterfox on my computer, Brave on my phone.
| Comodo Dragon for the Chrome experience, Brave as default. Brave on my phone as well.
| I like experimental and dead so Opera Neon. Mostly firefox though
| Firefox, sometimes Firefox Focus (Android)
| >>164004
you forgot
5. Big companies are always good willed and i have nothing to hide. "1984" and/or "brave new world" are wonderful utopias I want to live in.
- use google chrome or IE/Edge
6. FLOSS is just for stupid communists who think they are smart, but I am the truely pro here and believe that the only real alternative to mainstream proprietary software is niche proprietary software, even thought it makes use of open-source technology
- use Opera, Vivaldi, safari
| I use firefox on my desktop and lightning/firefox focus on my phone.
| Waterfox - all the legacy stuff works, eats memory like crazy
Emacs Browser - light, but restricted to forums
Tor browser - bay, nyaa pantsu, and i2p stuff
| 2345

| ^imagine being more plebeian
