I uses chrome and I loved it
Nice, what about it would lead you to recommend it ?
first and for most is for its extensions,you can actually install some of the best extension for better
like AdBlocker,keep,extension product history for online shopping
I'll have to check out the extension library :D
I've been using Brave for the past few years. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you haven't used it. It's basically Chrome with built-in ad and tracker/fingerprint blocking.
I do like the sound of built-in ad tracking. I'll give it a try.
Is Firefox the last one ?
Chrome and firefox
Ah, so do you trouble shoot with both ? Or does one do something the another doesn't ?
I prefer Firefox.
What features do you like about FireFox ?
i use chrome all time. i love google eco system!
history on mobile is same on laptop!
before days,they added tabs groups feature. it's great!
Been using new Edge. I love it.
Although similar to chrome, feels a little faster. Love it's 3D View tab to debug Z-index.
But I'm concerned about Google products working slow. YouTube loads slower in Edge. __
dev.to/saisandeepvaddi/is-youtube-...
Might be only me. Not sure though.
Occasionally I use Firefox as well. Mostly for testing the websites.
I haven't given Edge a chance. The 3D view sounds like a great feature.
Hmmm... sounds like it could be a starup opportunity xD
Qutebrowser, a chromium based web browser completely keyboard driven.
Wow, Now that is interesting twist for a browser.
I use Qb as well. Do you have problems going into hints on this website (dev.to)? I have to always do a double hint to execute the link.
Do you have an example? I have problems with the outlook web gui, because they use sometime spans which are attached to a click event. And sometimes with ctrl+(k/j) with scrolling the pages.
For instance if I want to click Dev logo to go home page I have to press F, the hint and the press F and the same hint before it actually loads the page
Firefox is pretty solid for privacy.
Nice, what features do they offer for privacy ?
They offer tracker blocking + ad blocking built in.
Brave, more privacy-oriented than Chrome.
I do like the idea of privacy, lol :D
I'll have to check Safari out sounds slick.
Brave is dope
What's up with the cryptocurrency feature ?
It's bs, it's basically watch or view ads. You can't really back them up. I lost them when I had to reinstall the browser. I instead in many different OSes and on my phone. They never sync. I got rid of it after using it for like 2 months. It is just another Chrome browser with that crypto currency gimick
I respectfully disagree.
First, I haven't had to 'watch' any ads, since they're all text push notifications with a subject and description - no images or videos. Also, you have full granular control over the frequency they come up. On MacOS and iOS they don't bother me one bit, and I turned it up to the max where I get one every 15 minutes. On Windows, it can admittedly be annoying to hear the push notification sound, which I bet there's a way to turn off but I've just gotten used to it - so it's a personal preference.
You can shut the browser ad-reward aspect off entirely and still use the crypto feature if you value web monetization and contributing to creators. It adds elements to popular platforms like GitHub/Reddit so that you can directly tip people with actual currency rather than aesthetic awards. Also from the browser, you can painlessly contribute BAT to websites that support web monetization. Conversely, it allows you to use your wallet to easily enable websites you own for people to contribute BAT back to you as well.
As far as multiple browsers on the same wallet, you're able to verify and sync your wallet once it has 25 BAT in it which takes a month or two of using it as your daily driver to naturally accumulate on your primary device using max frequency. You could also fill that wallet with a couple of bucks of BAT from the get-go to hit that threshold and just log into your wallet on all devices if you want to use Brave on everything. I've synced my sessions and have made >$15 in the past couple of months where Chrome would've given me nil. Donated some to Wikipedia, which feels awesome since it's generated from my regular browsing habits and coding at work.
The ad feature ties into their Shield feature which gives you the option to shut out all intrusive page ads & trackers and instead opt-in for the privacy-respecting browser-level ads that don't track you. It cuts down on page load time, in some cases very significantly (like on many news sites).
I really like the business model where a bulk of the price that the advertiser paid for you to see the ad gets passed on to you for viewing it.
EDIT: this is what those ads look like on MacOS -
I was using it on Linux (Kali & Arch), I was using it on Windows, and Android phone. I tried to sync the sessions and it didn't work. It just zeroed me out.
This is pretty much the same as a chrome browser expect with that ad feature. It didn't fit my needs at the end.
Chrome.. !
Because of extensions.
