I tested Unjewgled Chromium for a bit. I like the security that comes from the website separation it provides (check out Madaidan's article for details / issues with Firefox) as well as the low attack surface of having a barebones browser. It's a bit too barebones for me. There is no sync feature. You cannot install extensions by default due to a technical issue (telemetry data is sent to jewgle when you install them, so by gutting all jewgle dependence you have to sacrifice that feature) but I found a workaround by opening the same profile in regular chromium and installing it from there. But there is an issue still: no manifest v2 so no uBlock Origin. I installed a clone of that which relies on workarounds to provide the same functionality, and while it does block ads, it fails to block annoyances like floating helpdesk / survey buttons that stick to the corner or side of webpages.
Line break because the paragraph is becoming too long. I don't heavily edit these because I partake in Conversational Style(tm). Anyway, no real uBlock Origin is a dealbreaker to me so I switched back to Brave. It's Chromium-based so has the same tab separation but they maintain support for Manifest v2 extensions and special support for uBlock Origin, they will basically provide that for as long as they can manage, so that is how long I will use Brave for. After that I will give up on Chromium-based browsers probably and either go back to a Firefox fork (I like FireDragon and want to give Basilisk another try) or try the Ladybird browser which should be released by then. That is a future concern. Brave sets me for a while.
What web browser(s) do you use?
I'm a simple man. I just use Brave for 80%+ of browsing.
Yeah, it's a nice browser. One can say that it's bloated but the features largely overlap with what I actually want to have anyway. I still browse websites like this one in FireDragon it just feels weird to open this site in Brave. I guess I use Brave for 'cleaner' stuff like looking up random things, logging into banking etc.
Brave here unless I'm visiting a log-in site that doesn't like Brave.
Brave
I use Brave until I run into tab problems.
Then I have to start all over with Waterfox (currently, for a year or so), PaleMoon, LibreWolf, or whatever.
You can use tab groups and vertical tabs to avoid invisible tabs. I'm not even sure Brave inherits those issues. Palemoon is unable to render many webpages properly in the modern web so I would skip that oen if I were you. FireDragon is a Librewolf fork that's more customizable so I recommend that instead.
I've used Basilisk too.
FireDragon and Ladybird would be new to me.
Waterfox with groups, Sideberry, Tab Session Manager, Unload Tab(s) works for now.
I feel like tabs (with groups) and bookmarks (with folders) are almost the same thing. Shame it's still not better.
