To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it’s impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.
I wonder if Waterfox allows this. It’s MOSTLY Firefox but without going down the AI trash route.
I’ve dumped FF for Zen and Waterfox.
Zen’s only downside is that it can’t play some DRM media like some sports websites. Waterfox can, so I use it for that.
I’m really enjoying Orion on iPhone and Mac

The only “issue” I have with libre is its essentially a full pull of Firefox nightly with some rust patches on top. Its reliant on Firefox, so its not really a “new” browser per-say.
That being said, I use it everyday :) Its an excellent project.
Hard to fault them for that though. It’s damn near impossible to build a fully or even mostly functioning browser for the modern internet without a huge team of devs unless you build it on top of chromium or Firefox, and I’d rather the latter
Yep agreed. I guess I just had a misconception at first.
Vivaldi and Librewolf are good recommends. So good call by the author.
I wish I could completely ditch Blink based browsers for Gecko ones, just because I dislike how dominant Blink is thanks to Chrome. But some sites don’t render correctly on Gecko. So a fallback is needed.
Edit: I haven’t used Vivaldi in a long time, and apparently it’s not what I thought it was. Are there really no outstanding open source Blink-based browser out there?
I never came across a single page that didn’t render correctly with Gecko - do you have an example?
Yeah. Most recently it was a shitty site that looked like it had been built in 2000 and I had to use to pay an EMS bill: services.webillems.com
Tried several times on Firefox and it wouldn’t let me proceed with the payment. It kind of acted like it had. But when I called them to confirm they said it never went through. Tried multiple times with the same results. So I then tried on Chrome and it went through first time.
There’s have been others too. But like I said before, it’s rare. But annoying.
It’s down to these sites using stale, poorly-written legacy code and/or never being upgraded.
What’s wrong with Vivaldi?
If you dont require open-source in your decision, Vivaldi is great. Its what i use most. It has a ton of granular features that i appreciate, but can be a bit too much for folks that want a more minimal experience.
