You can use Brave if you want, no problem with that. But if someone personally decides for themselves to not use it because it was founded because the founder left Mozilla due to his financial support for an anti gay marriage bill, maybe just accept that instead of judging them.

So i currently use opera air i dont have any problem with it but i been using it for a while so i need a chromium browser

I use Trivalent on my main Fedora build. But if Trivalent didn't exist and I was aiming for a secure alternative that I can trust will be maintained for years to come... hmm, genuinely, it just comes down to the big corporate browsers. I am skeptical of the claims of many big "privacy browsers", all I care about is that it loads the stuff and has protections against big exploits. So for me that leaves me with a few choices: Chrome, Edge, and Brave. I'd have to debloat all with policies to get them near what Trivalent has, but for me the biggest focus is on update pace, so it would probably just be Chrome with some flags altered and integrations disabled via policy (mainly the Gemini stuff).

What would you guys move to if tomorrow your daily driver browser died?

I'm pretty sure all of you have dealt with the fake buffering on YT when using uBlock Origin and I assumed that there was no way to prevent it. Well, turns out AdGuard is way better. It loads videos instantaneously every single time. I tested this on both Chromium and Firefox, both MV3 and MV2. In every situation AdGuard loaded videos instantly while uBO fell victim to the fake buffering. Just wanted to point this out in case people were interested.

With my very limited software knowledge, i ask those who have slightly more software knowledge, and ask why the fuck is there no browser that is fast like alot of chromium based browsers (helium, vivaldi etc) with the UI & features that zen has. I love zen, however it uses way too much resources, and I do love firefox but im pretty sure chromium is faster anyway.

What I'm trying to say is, is there any browser with the UI and features of Zen (no compromise bullshit) but with the speed of literally any other browser, and obviously private.

I wanted a clean and modern browser and I found Zen, it looks clean and good but is it just me or is it actually slower than brave or any other chromium based browsers ?

Is there a website that will allow me to select several browsers and compare their features at a line-by-line level with a focus on privacy and security? I'm not looking for browser recommendations. I'm looking for tools that will let me compare browsers, not just today, but again and again so I can stay on top of how they fair.

I have a question to people who owns it. How is Brave Origin? Is it worth buying?

Pros and cons, please and thank you.

Firefox and Brave users are always fighting in Youtube comment sections on videos related to browsers and Reddit posts in this subreddit, it's not that serious, people can use what browser they like, both sides need to chill out.

Something I couldn't find in any browser: select a handful of tabs and print them as one job, in order, without doing Ctrl+P on each one. I needed it for work (lots of health insurance pages for the same case), so I built an extension and it's now on both stores.

How it works: select tabs → right-click → Print Selected Tabs → one combined preview → print once or download one PDF. Text stays real text (no screenshots), and nothing leaves your computer.

Happy to answer questions about how it handles tricky pages.

I hope your pillow is cold on both sides today, and you live the rest of your life happy without a struggle

I just released The Key Company, a browser game I’ve been building!
It’s a mix of Wordle-style word guessing and trivia, wrapped in a mysterious corporate employee assessment. Wrong guesses send you into trivia rounds, and when a run ends, you earn a key power-up to take into your next attempt.
The goal is to survive the assessment and see how high you can score.
It’s free to play, with no download required. I’d love to hear what you think and see how far people get!

Hey everyone, I use Helium as my daily browser. Lately I've been seeing posts about Helium acting up with slow page loads, and the same thing happened to me. At first I told myself it was fine, but it got to the point where every refresh took 10 to 20 seconds. As a mod I'm constantly jumping between modmail, notifications, and comments, so that delay was driving me insane.

Out of frustration I switched my default search engine from DuckDuckGo to Kagi. The first load was almost instant, pages opened smoothly. Then I switched again to Bing, and honestly? Pages are loading great now, and even media loads way better.

So my question is: is it actually possible that the default search engine can slow down page loading in Helium? Or am I just tripping? 😭 I'm not tech savvy at all, I don't really understand how speed and all that works, but this trick genuinely worked for me.

I also wanted to ask: is Bing a good search engine privacy-wise? Since I'm using it now, I figured I'd check. I love Helium and don't want to switch browsers, I just want to understand what's going on.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a dumb question lol.

A while ago I shared MRU Tab Switcher, an extension I built with Claude’s help to get Brave’s Ctrl+Tab behaviour back after moving to a Chromium browser. Thanks for the feedback! Version 1.1.0 is out:

• Ctrl+Shift+Tab goes the other way through your recent tabs. Pressed on its own, it jumps to the tab you used least recently.
• Brave-style history: every tab you land on while cycling counts as recently used, same as Brave.
• Settings page (right-click the icon → Options): how long a pause ends a cycle (0.3–1.5 s), Brave-style history on/off, and cycling the current window or all windows.
• Much easier Ctrl+Tab setup: a welcome page opens after install with a “Copy setup code” button, so you just paste it on the shortcuts page. Chrome still doesn’t let extensions take Ctrl+Tab by themselves, so that one-time paste is still needed.
• The icon goes grey when it’s off, and the right-click menu has shortcuts, Ctrl+Tab setup and help.

Still no page access, no tracking and no data collected. Free and open source.

Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ffkjkhogdepleegfoakgihhmcfekdnoa
Code: https://github.com/Hariprasad-b-s/mru-extension

If you already have it, Chrome updates it automatically. To get Ctrl+Shift+Tab, rerun the setup code from the settings page. Feedback and bug reports welcome!

Hey r/browsers — I've been building extensions for Chrome and just finished porting both to Firefox. Curious what Firefox users think, since I know this crowd cares about things like privacy and performance more than most.
