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”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

OP actually uses librewolf but is looking for a more beautiful(?) browser

I make Librewolf beautiful using the FF-Ultima theme

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.

What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?

Thank you! And thank god, that i don’t use it :D. So, I’m still staying with firefox.

Thank you!
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
Interesting, I use FF for everything, on android, Linux & windows, no problems.

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.

Yeah I feel like OP is either lying or incompetent
