What's a good alternative to firefox?
>>
Its the only half ok browser that is open source
Chrome if you are a NSA cuck
Vivaldi if you don't care about open source
>>
>>51981725
IceCat?
>>
>>51981725
try maxthon
great UI
uses about 1/3rd the amount of memory
loads pages quicker
very customizable

maxthon to firefox is like firefox to internet explorer

One of the firefox derivatives (Pale Moon, IceWeasel /IceCat, Waterfox..etc.) . All the benefits of Firefox minus the slow speeds and SJW politics

Can confirm, using IceCat right now.

Would also consider Qupzilla in the future

Firefox is fine, no need for alternatives.

Are you this anon >>51983418?

Why are calling firefox SJW?

>Outdated firefox with different skin is better than firefox.
>>
>>51983910
The devs are full SJW. I didn't say anything about Firefox itself. It's pretty alright. The devs just piss me off cause of their SJW stances when it comes to the tech world, like diversity in the workplace and more women should be hired in tech (regardless of their ability). Otherwise, honestly, not much is wrong with Firefox and if you want to use it, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

And no I'm not that anon, but he is basically saying what I'm trying to say.

For christ's sake. We know for a fact that Google, Facebook, the NSA, and most likely a dozen or so other organizations spy on us and supply us with tools to make it easier to do so.

Using closed-source (and honestly a lot of open-source) is literally handing these people the keys to all of your information.

Use palemoon or something. Don't be a cuck.

Even if you uncheck "do not report my data statistics to mozilla"...it still does. Some anon has the source

The new format is gimped of some many UI features, good addons like noscript will cease to work

If fucking YouTube is your only concern when choosing a web browser just shove an NSA-issued dildo up your ass and use chrome you fucking normalshit.

Never had any lagging or error problems with it.

Why do you want an alternative?

>>51981725
Firefox is fine, I am browsing right now on my 550 MHz Athlon (with 512 megs of 100/133 MHz SDRAM) running Windows XP and experiencing no major performance issues. The only plugin I have installed is uBlock Origin.
>>
>>51989465
Thanks for pointing out that this shit is really just elitism and not about privacy, security, or anything like that. I like firefox perfectly fine. If it runs on two circa 1999 computers without issues it is fine.

there's not gonna be a serious fork worth considering until mozilla switches to a webkit/like api and breaks all current addons. I've heard they're actually planning to do this

IN TO THE FUCKING TRASH IT GOES

So is palemoon the only decent alternative at this point?
>>
why use firefox? why not use the onion routers? + a VPN, it has the lowest fingerprint measured by panopticlick. if you use a VPN nobody even knows that you are on it.

>>51996178

yeah, you should use pale shit, it's perfect for you

iceweasel aurora>TOR
>>
>>51996904
i dont think so. tor is superior in terms of privacy. also fuck flashkek
>>
>>51996922
iceweasel doesn't use flash. alsy why would a backdoored browser be more privacy respecting than a properly audited one?
>>
>>51997056
because it has lower fingerprint. with maximum privacy settings on panopticlick i scored 14.whaterver (forefox). with tor i scored 9. something. tor + a vpn is the best thing you can get for privacy. BUT only if you understand how to use it.
>>
>>51997377
i use my own vpn and random agent spoofer. (plus the usual EFF plugins and umatrix)
>>
>>51997427
tor allows no add ons, not by default anyway.
seems like a good setup anon.
