Just answer honestly,
While floorp has a more flowy and relaxed security model that still allows interaction with local files and is just overall easier to get into, I also like Zen for it’s peace of mind, with the ability to suspend execution of javascript on page load turned on as a default feature, however it can be quite uptight a what does and doesn’t constitute valid htmlIts literally on poob. You can stream it on poob rn
Damn region locks, poob has nothing for me because I’m not within the USA or Canada :(
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob
From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (“to fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese 崩 (MC pong, “to collapse, crumble”).[1]
- to lose, fail
Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class
Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.
How do you pronounce “twv”?
I reckon the w is pronounced like in Welsh.
Search people talking Hmong language (a language distributed in Laos and South China) in the internet.
- to lose, fail
I genuinely use Floorp as my main daily browser lol
Same. I didn’t realise there was anything wrong with it tbh
same, actually I use FireDragon… what’s wrong with it?
But have you tried Plingo?
I really wanted to like floorp but scrolling on a touchpad is awful on it for some reason. It’s the only fork i have issues with the scrolling on a touchpad.
Oh weird, I use it with a touchpad on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad if that makes any difference) and it’s always been fine for me.
Same, after I tried all the other Fireforks. It was last on the list because of the non-serious name and logo, but damnit it’s the most stable and has sensible defaults that don’t get in my way.
until the last update at least, which moved half of the settings into the “Floorp Hub”, removed the other half, and broke gesture extensions and my userchrome >:( thinking of just going back to librewolf and staying with it forever
we have gone so far down the meta-irony abyss there is no turning back.
In his newest (and worst) How Do You Do Fellow Kids moment, Mark Zuckerberg launches the Poob service, accessible exclusively through the Metaverse. What does it do? Fucked if we know.
I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.
I like that theme but as i understand it, having a custom css theme may reduce your anonymity while browsing, if you’re concerned about that.
Cascade looks awesome, thanks for sharing! gotta check it out when I get home
google ultron is the most privacy-preserving browser
If an internet person says it and I want it, it has to be true.
I really like librewolf. Does need some getting used to and actually learn to manage profiles (which it sadly remove the new profile browser for some reason?), but pretty great and “just works”
OP actually uses librewolf but is looking for a more beautiful(?) browser
I make Librewolf beautiful using the FF-Ultima theme
The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.
I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.
More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.
I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.
So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.
It’s weird how i still haven’t run into any of those sites after years of using firefox. For me it not being chromium is a positive, especially with this recent adblock nonsense that google is pulling.
Friend, they’re not “standards” if only one browser supports them.
Also, you should probably switch from Brave to literally anything else.
This is all kinds of wrong. Fuck Brave and fuck Chromium.
Yeah, I’ve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.
I’m not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so I’m not going to use Brave.
I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that’s the problem.
What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?
Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.
Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.
Thank you! And thank god, that i don’t use it :D. So, I’m still staying with firefox.
Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.
Thank you!
Interesting, I use FF for everything, on android, Linux & windows, no problems.
Same. Or if there is a problem, I have no reason to believe it’s due to what browser I’m using. Sometimes there’s technical issues on the other end. Opening a support ticket can help get things straightened out.
The only things I’ve encountered that don’t work are webusb things and snapchat but snapchat you can just change user agent and it’s fine.
Well it really depends on your use case because as a daily driver I never see any buggy page. Not even the enhanced protection thing is blocking pages
I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.
Yeah I feel like OP is either lying or incompetent
That’s “Floorp”, not to be confused with “Florp”, which I see on Weebly:

Florp Studios
I’m playing with Floorp now. It works fine but I HATE the name.
Slurp
but from the floor, yummy
I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.
Edit: thanks for pointing me to about config peeps.
I loved Zen. But I have multiple devices and I don’t want to have to do all of the customisation, profile and essential tab set up for ever device. So i gave up on it once base Firefox brought out the new vertical tabs.
Oh that and they kept changing things that weren’t customisable that I got used to. Like the profile switcher on the bottom.
Has there been any updates that have implemented proper syncing or added more customisation yet? (I know about mods, but some of the better customisation ones would break every other update)
You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism
I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn’t like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn’t let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.
I thought it was cool too, but I have Heimdall running on a docker container. I wanted to be able to easily get to that, and it felt like the default behavior of Zen was getting in the way.
Ah, yeah that would be annoying
theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating
IIRC there’s an option to restore regular new tabs in the settings
