Tab groups works amazing for it.
And it consumes way less RAM when it's just minimized with the fuckload of tabs I let open on it.
I'm a musician so I use Opera
IE11
It's fast, simple, and best of all they don't fuck it up with every version.
I do have FF installed for when I need to use an extension like downthemall.
>>53526911
How I felt about it too. I was using Firefox for ages because of NoScript but after the umpteenth million time it bogged down my entire system I just dropped it and started using Chrome. I tried to use Chromium but the lack of .h264 support killed it and google nor /g/ could help so I just ended up using Chrome.

It works fine except whenever I update Firefox. Every single time I do, I regret having done so.
I thought Firefox had already hit rock bottom, but then I update it and am still surprised by how much worse they can make it.
Since v45 I've had issues with hardware acceleration causing assertion failures in my configuration. (I found a work-around by changing my Xorg.conf) On top of that, I've had an issue where autoscrolling becomes ridiculously unresponsive sometimes - especially after the browser has been open for an hour or so. I have to continuously restart it.
One of these days I'm going to find a way to downgrade back to v40 or so, since that one was working fine for me.
>>53526833
>What browser do you use /g/

Cyberfox
Chrome. I hate myself as much as everyone here hates me, but there's no point in resisting. Even the Pale Moon devs just admitted that their current position is untenable and they're going to go Web 3.0 like everyone else, so where does that leave something like SeaMonkey?
It's pointless to resist anymore. Chrome and Google own the Internet, like how Windows and Microsoft own the PC market.

Seamonkey and Otter Browser (backup).
Opera 12.16

Waterfox, because im not an idiot.
>>53532314
I don't follow.
>>53531465
>so where does that leave something like SeaMonkey?
Just fine, since SeaMonkey uses a recent version of Gecko (2.40 uses the same version as Firefox 43). The point of SM is to retain a familiar UI and features, rather than to be an inherently outdated piece of shit like Palememe. It's a perfectly modern web browser under the hood.
>>53527050

>>53527039
I think iridium has h264 support.
https://iridiumbrowser.de/
Mostly Chrome. I'd love to use Firefox because I am kind of a freetard but its shit.
Was on FF44, went for Dev 46a2 64-bit but that shit was broken (had graphic issues) and "rolled back" to FF45x64. Now I'm still wondering if I should go back do devedition for earlier e10s and daily patchs.
>>53534771
It will take more 2 years for that, at least one year since it doesnt even have a schedule to nightly which takes ~6mo to reach stable.
Also, they plan to release as "modules/patch" not a "major release". I still wonder if they will change "firefox" name when/if servo arrives.
>>53527202
'Cause SJW at moz and a "new vision" of "let's get market share that arent ours to begin with and be like chrome."
I would just use chrome if they have a similar/equal feature. They have some but they're a shit.
>>53528996
Why chrome for netflix?
Isn't it locked or 720p or something like that when EDGE can do 4K or also something like that?
>>53533463
Why aren't they using FF45, I mean 45 is esr and that would make more sense on the release calendar of seamonkey. Also, how security updates work on seamonkey? They patch it or just leave there until next release?

I use Chrome because currently it's the best. If any other big team or company can make a better browser, I've no issue switching to it.
I don't have any particular allegiance to Google, their browser is just the best, even though it's not flawless. It actually looks boring, but no other browser beats it in terms of rendering performance, standards compliance, developer tools etc etc.
Firefox is also useful if you want to use their console, because it outputs a lot of shit there. Firefox also has quite good graphics rendering, I'm not sure what is different, but I think Firefox renders pictures a little better than Chrome even (the colours, I mean).
Safari is mostly UI eye-candy. Now it's fast, yeah, but that's all they got. They don't support many standards, their dev tools/console is a pain in the colon and it can't even play webms.
So, I see no alternative to Chrome. You could use Chromium if it works for you. It has rendering issues for me, some pages has major scaling issues, it must be that those who packaged these binaries have screwed up somewhere. I used to use Chromium when it worked fine, now I have to use Chrome, because Chromium no longer works on all sites for me.

>>53541492
The theme is actually built-in.
Open upabout:config, search for "dev". They'll be a value like 'dev-theme' or something like that, set to false. Set it to true.
Then search for "light", they'll be something like "dev-theme scheme" or something with a value of "light". Change it to "dark".

>>53541725
sorry am tard
looks great,
last question. is there a reason why you dont have your titlebar? is that OS specific or browser configurable as well?
>>53541803
It's part of the WM I use. Awesome is primarily keyboard-driven, so there's not really a need for window button controls. Because of that, it doesn't, by default, include any sort of title bar, or border around the windows.

>>53541827
what WM you using?
surf
>>53541889
Awesome.
>>53541887
i did not know this, insane.
>>53539691
Because SeaMonkey is managed by a small team of developers and stable releases are frozen for a few months so that they can do final bug fixing work. Despite it being similar to Firefox, they encounter a lot of unique bugs that need to be squashed.
As for security releases, they're done via standard incremental updates. SeaMonkey 2.42 is due by the end of the month to fix some things (and is already available if you seek it out, as are 64-bit builds).
They also do nightly and beta builds just like Firefox. Version 2.43 is currently the beta and based on Gecko 46. The currently nightly builds are version 2.45 and based on Gecko 48.
>>53541906
your wm is called awesome?
>>53541942
Yeah.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Awesome
It basically combines all the good aspects of a tiling wm (blazing speed, efficient workflow, automatic window management, etc.) with all the benefits of a stacking wm (ease of use, mainly) and throws in some unique features (such as window-exclusive desktops, desktop-exclusive layouts, its own DE-esque panel, mouse support for a lot of actions that would logically benefit from mouse support, etc.).
>>53542005
here's my screenfetch if you care. I run Xfce on top of Awesome because of the desktop integration, and Compton is my compositor.
>>53542005
do you use a DE with tihs WM?
>>53542089
You don't have to (and it'll slow it down considerably), but I do use Xfce for a couple reasons. I'm considering dropping it and just going native, though.
>>53542109
wouldnt you lose all the applications though? i guess you can just install whatever you need manually.. but what about settings center and that stuff? all that will be gone.
>>53542144
>wouldnt you lose all the applications though?
Nope. You'd be surprised just how little your DE actually does. All the programs you had installed will still be there, and you can still run them normally, and awesome will be quite happy to make sure that they work how you want them too.
You'll lose your DE-provided titlebars, but if you want awesome can be configured to put them back with basically whatever you want on them.
The settings center of your DE will be gone, yes, but everything you did with it can be redone in awesome natively. Awesome has a central configuration file written in Lua that's actually layed out fairly nicely.
But even then, a lot of the things you used the settings center for was to fix problems created by your DE itself. Stuff like your theme, desktop background, etc. is all DE-specific stuff that a WM can easily handle on its own.
>>53542187
hmm it sounds interesting, i may set it up in fedora.
>>53542187
it doesnt realy sound that smart to delete gnome3 though
>>53542295
Well don't delete it outright, just don't use it. If you set it not to run (or, if you're using GDM, just open up awesome instead of GNOME entirely) all your other applications will still be there.

Icedove isn't a browser and has literally nothing to do with Icecat, so I'm not sure what you mean.
>>53543133
yeah I know, is it worth using it over Thunderbird?
from what I got, it tries to be the email client equivalent of Icecat
>>53543212
It's actually the email equivalent of Iceweasel, a completely unrelated web browser made by Debian.

Did Opera (Chromium version) update again recently? Something has definitely changed because the new page screen layout has been altered and there's this annoying problem now when scrolling pages. I thought it was my scroll wheel spazzing out but it seems to be the browser where everything on the page will disappear (no scroll tab at the side either) and then it will comeback seconds later, with a bit of flickering.
