Chromium based, with GUI mods. Basicly all the same.

don't know about edge base (new from scratch, ie base?)
Opera is dead

basicly we have 3-4 major browsers.
Also

Because the switch is being made.

Soon the number will dwindle.

Why is IE still considered a major browser when it's basically being slowly phased out by Edge?
>>
Aren't IE and Edge the same?
>>
>>52508288
Because it still has a significant market share.

>>52508294
IE and Edge are completely different.

I dont understand how anyone can use Edge I tryed it for a month and its the worst experience I have ever had woth a browser

Where is Chromium?
Chromium and Firefox are relatively free of botnet while the others in the list are going to sell all your info.

Doesn't make it major. Its not even a release.

Vivaldi definitely isn't a major browser.

I'm skeptical about even calling opera or edge major browsers.

Wrong OP, it's Chrome, Firechrome, Chropera, other Chrome forks, IE is dead and who cares about Safari.
>>
>>52508000
>>Now: Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge
-Chrome is botnet, hungry hungry hippo botnet made by a advertising agency.
-IE is dead, abandoned by Microsoft.
-Firefox is dead, crushed under weight of Mozilla employees.
-Safari, eating shit from your own hands.
-Opera is dead, its chrome.
-Vivaldi, I have no fucking clue. Does anyone actually use this shit?
-Edge is irrelevant. Windows 10, really? Are you fucking stupid? It annoying enough keeping 8.1 clean, so fuck them.
-Chromium is probably botnet too, plus made by a advertising company.

>>52510863
If you really don't know the differences between something as simple as Edge and Explorer, I hope you don't go around posting your opinions.

To spoonfeed, without implying one way or another if it's good or not, they redesigned the core to support windows 10 features and HTML 5, while also finally dropping activeX which isn't really needed after netscape, among other things.

OP here. I use Internet Explorer not Vivaldi you dumb fuck. Vivaldi is at least significant enough now.

And >>52510829 , Maybe I need to add Yandex also.

No. Edge uses EdgeHTML, a fork of Trident(IE).

nobody uses safari, opera or vivaldi. also, they're basically just reskins anyway.

there's IE (which includes edge), firefox and chrome. that's it.

>Opera is dead, its chrome.
except without botnet
your criticisms are more meme than real

Please.

Nobody outside /g/ has heard about opera/vivaldi.

Safari support is required only if your demographic shows strong usage.

You have to support Chrome, Firefox and IE 11. Maybe Edge if you are forward-thinking.

this looks like it might be ok. What's it based off of?

Speaking of browsers, I still use chrome on my pc and phone but I wouldn't mind a better browser, but at the same time all my accounts and bookmarks are linked in chrome. Is there anything that I can move that all to and is as linked between devices

It's pretty comfy, yes. I have a shit computer and it's the most stable browser I've ever used.

>>52512017
>>52512036
you for real? Opera and Firefox both offer sync functionality
I prefer firefox because of extension support on mobile and the best desktop extension support, period. Ironically I had to ditch chrome BECAUSE there is no adblock on android
my firefox android runs ublock and ghostery

I shit you not, I don't think it crashed ever for me. That was the case for me with all the firefox releases.

Safari and Edge never were major browsers to begin with and can be neglected when developing sexy webb epps.

I doubt ms will die, but if ie11 goes away, you can literally develop for chrome and it will work on edge.

>>52517894
IE11 will not go away earlier than 2023, when extended support for windows 8.1 ends

Yeah right. Basically there are only 3 major/different browsers: Chrome and its clones, IE and Edge, and Firefox.
