Ok /g/. It's time.
Rate the browsers.
Which ones have the potential in the future and which ones don't?
Which ones are good now and which ones aren't? Why?
>>54190542
>Which ones have the potential in the future
Chrome / Chromium / Canary
>which ones don't?
Every other browser that isn't Chrome
>>54190542
maxthon=shit
opera=shit
vivaldi=chrome+more shit
brave replaces ads with their own, and is therefore double shit
edge=shit
haven't used midori, kmeleon, or cent
chrome=shit
chromium, without google=/= shit
firefox=/=shit, but firefox devs=shit
>>54190542
Chrome is the new IE. Proof me wrong.
Something like Firefox hopefully. I can't live without my Firefox addons.
Firefox I use predominantly. I do not trust Google or Microsoft, I think they track peoples searches.
>>54190542
>maxthon: chinese botnet browser
>kmeleon: maybe will be popular when mozilla finally totally fucks up firefox, right now OK
>brave: slower chromium clone
>vivaldi: slower chromium clone
>centbrowser: what is this unknown shit, but by red text that says engine i can tell that this is a slower chromium clone
>opera: used to be good, but now a bit faster chromium clone
>chrome: slow shit but really popular
>edge: maybe wont be shit in about 3 years, but now too unfinished
>ff: used to be good, then meh, then good and will become shit
You forgot one of the most important browsers for anonymity... Tor browser.
>>54190542
The only browser worth looking at is netsurf, but due to having fuckall devs and actually caring about riscos compatibility, it's neverever be useable. On the plus side, it's ridiculously fast right now.
>>54190542
Tor and Safari
>>54192262
>>54192593
Found the technologically illiterates!
k-meleon: cancer
maxthon: cancer
vivaldi: cancer
centbrowser: cancer
midori: cancer
opera: became cancer
chrome: botnet cancer
brave: super cancer
microsoft edge: hyper cancer
mozilla firefox: it's shit, but it's the least cancerous out of the lot. it is quickly going down the shitter though and the forks are even worse.
what a sad display.
Who here /iridium/?

except chrome is good

chrome is safe and best
>>54193065
Nobody with a brain.

I, too, love a browser that crashes completely every 5 seconds despite one of its major features being sandboxed tabs. I, too, love using a browser that eats through 16GB of ram with less than 20 tabs open. I, too, love it when my browser spies on me without my consent.
>>54193201
How come?
>>54190542
What is a good browser for a low spec machine?
>>54194437
Opera 12.18
Midori is webkit-gtk, not webkit.

Pick 2.
>>54190542
dropping in to remind everyone that Brave is just offloading telemetry analytics to the client side and leveraging their exclusive access to data to sell adspace at a premium on sites they have nothing to do with
>>54190542
Dragon and ice dragon IMO
Opera used to be interesting but it never kept up the same.
Tbqh to this day my favorite is still Netscape navigator
>>54195785
Also they are portable which is a plus. I just wish they would find a way to decrease the size so you could email them to locked down systems/nets
>>54195785
>Firefox and Chrome with Comodo's shitty botnet DNS addons and servers instead
Slowkit is complete fucking dogshit and if I had a billion dollars I'd throw money at Mozilla foundation to keep Gecko alive purely to stave off how cancerous slowkit is.
>>54190542
k-meleon should change to Blink soon or they will disappear like Mozilla
>>54191137
no, they bring an open source platform for web rendering.
Open to change, open to add new stuff, open to everyone
inb4 a mom joke
>>54193213
>I, too, love a browser that crashes completely every 5 seconds
In the years I have used Chrome, the absolutely only crash I have seen is when flash has fucked up and a single tab has frozen for a few seconds. That's it. I have never seen Chrome crash. Firefox on the other hand...
>I, too, love using a browser that eats through 16GB of ram with less than 20 tabs open
Chrome works better on my old laptop with 4gb of ram than firefox. On that laptop it never uses more than 1gig, usually under 400mb. On my desktop with 32gb of ram, it usually uses 1-2gb which makes sense because it has more available to use; that's how it should be.
>I, too, love it when my browser spies on me without my consent.
Boohoo my tinfoil is too tight.
I don't understand why Chrome isn't capable of implementing lazy loading like Firefox.
Chromium is the most responsive and fast as shit.
>>54198677
The speed is only due to pre-loading. Also, there are conflicting reports as to whether nasty google code is still in there.
I play it safe with FF, where anonymity isn't based on faith.
>>54198743
Preloading is off.
>>54190542
Opera is perfect, everything else is shit.
>>54190542
Honestly Edge. Chrome has stagnated and isn't getting any faster. Edge is perfect in terms of speed, but has no extensions. It gets extensions later this year.
>Try browser X
>Kinda stutters while scrolling with smooth scrolling enabled
>Try browser Y, same thing
>Disable hardware acceleration
>Much smoother, some stutter here and there but it's like 5% of what it was before
Ok I'm beginning to thing my GPU is being a gigantic whore. It's fine with games though. Any ideas?
>>54198857
Have you tried Chromium?
>>54198880
Yep.
Chromium, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, even Safari on a hackintosh (this one was kinda better in terms of performance than the rest surprisingly).
I'm beginning to think it does have to do something to do with my GPU. I just don't know what exactly.
Brave=Open Source, fast, fair ads=No cancer
Vivaldi=because of bundled app and extensions with Chromium=Middle field
Cent Browser=Middle field
Slimjet=Middle field
All Firefox forks without Australis=Middle field
All Firefox forks with Australis=One step before cancer
Firefox=Cancer
Opera=Cancer
Chrome=Total cancer

/g/ ... dont go half retard, either dont be retard or just go full retard like stallman and other tinfoiled neets
>>54201072
>what is noscript
What's it like being retarded, anon-chan?
>>54198999
Maybe your CPU is the shitty culprit
Not that it should matter though, I use a 1st gen i3 and never experienced any scrolling stuttering
>>54198778
>ABP
Opinion discarded.
>>54195108
Can confirm
>>54201203
Good goy. Don't mind the fact that gorshill's crapware has been shown to be spyware.
install opera
Vivaldi.
40 tabs open. Minimal stress.
>>54201494
proof?
Vivaldi just feels good man.
I am gay, however.
>>54190542
midori=buggy and webkit is shit
opera=closed and probably chinese botnet now, better ui than chrome, good extension support
chrome=max botnet, shitty ui, pretty solid, good extensions
chromium= pretty much above but slightly less botnet
vavaldi=closed, buggy JavaScript app on top of chrome, cool ideas
firefox=retarded devs, bad default ui, highly customizable, best extensions, not properly sandboxed
install GNU IceCat to be perfectly honest desu
