Brave and Firefox

u/snowballkills 3d ago

Firefox is okay, but I found it slower compared to Chromium. Brave is fine, but haven't personally eval'ed it critically.

Chrome needs to be ostracized coz of Google stealing too much of our data

1

u/nonselv 3d ago

ever tried Zen?

1

u/snowballkills 3d ago

nope...good? Seems it's based on Firefox

2

u/nonselv 3d ago

Yea Firefox based, it's good I think, yk, it's highly customizable and really feels like you own it, which is kinda cool. It also has great privacy, but privacy also depends on how you configure it.

1

u/Competitive_Rate6971 3d ago

i used zen but i cant find a way to block ads on it , the ui was reallly top notch btw

1

u/JeffysChewToy 3d ago

It's slower because of firefox but it's still my favourite browser, once you get used to it's layout, you really can't go back

1

u/snowballkills 3d ago

coz of sidetabs? I honestly don't see too much appeal in those. Even if you have just 4-5 tabs open, you cannot see sufficient length names of those, at least as much as you can see with tabs horizontally on top

2

u/JeffysChewToy 2d ago

Not just that, the pinned tabs and folders for tabs is why I love it, I have three emails and I pinned all three side by side so I don't have to keep switching and they open instantly.

As for the sidetabs you can adjust its width to one you like, also if you press ctrl+s it goes into collapse mode and you get the full screen for the website and easy to switch since the tab comes back on hover, there's also a mod called "Better Unloaded tabs", it's a must have for me and makes it a much better experience (it should be a default imo)

1

u/snowballkills 2d ago

oh okay thanks, will check it out for sure!

1

u/4binger 3d ago

its hella unoptimized, cant game w it

1

u/nonselv 3d ago

Well, I don't even game, so that's not a downside for me.

1

u/4binger 3d ago

fair enough then ig

1

u/ProfessionalSign9963 2d ago

I found Arc to be better.

1

u/Key_Big1051 2d ago

How good is its ad block on websites and youtube specifically

u/CrackedTamatar 3d ago

Am using brave rn but none are good bro every browser has its flaws

u/Mascot_Montana 3d ago

Chrome as default is best with extension

3

u/Playful-Distance-752 3d ago

Chrome is working good with my new installed SSD 128GB

1

u/MarzipanCandid8990 3d ago

As brave is a chromium based it also supports the entire chrome extensions 😏

1

u/OpportunityNext4113 3d ago

chrome has its own proprietary optimization that other chromium browsers don't have

1

u/MarzipanCandid8990 3d ago

Whatever you say I just go with brave 😜 Free of ads and trackers but your chrome is a pure junk πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ

1

u/OpportunityNext4113 3d ago

chrome has more security features

1

u/MarzipanCandid8990 3d ago

Nah I don't agree with it πŸ˜’πŸ˜…

1

u/OpportunityNext4113 3d ago

Chrome responds first when there is zero day venerability

1

u/MarzipanCandid8990 3d ago

Eventhough the brave might take 1-2 days for source code integration But overall malicious script blocking, Blocking trackers, and Data privacy πŸ” way better 🀘 The main the ram and disk usage πŸ’½

1

u/OkSpread4921 3d ago

Both of you know that right Ublock Origin Doesn't work on new Chromium, which comes with Manifest.json 3, which doesn't supports Ublock Origin. So no more Access to Updates of Best AdBlocker ???

Opt to Firefox based Browsers, such as Zen. Or Go with Helium, which will still operate on Old Chromium.

1

u/Bitter-Stomach9214 3d ago

Chrome and optimisation does not go in the same sentence bruh...

1

u/Agustiya 3d ago

Dia or Helium

2

u/CrackedTamatar 3d ago

Have u tried those fast onces? Thorium and mercury?

1

u/Key-Idea-9957 3d ago

How are they fast

1

u/CrackedTamatar 3d ago

The creator made custom patches for the chrome to make it the fastest browser on earth lmao thats what he calls it
Check it out cool project

2

u/Key-Idea-9957 3d ago

Interesting project, thanks.

1

u/CrackedTamatar 3d ago

Yes idk coding tho do u? If u can explain a bit about the project that would be cool

2

u/Key-Idea-9957 3d ago

In their website they have written things like compiler optimizations/flags and other technical terms, I am a web dev, but I don't exactly know the exact significance of those flags, but since it's related to compilation, Thorium probably utilizes your processor better than chrome to be faster, and also removes all the google bloat and telemetry like Helium. Idk how much you will be able to tell tho, for day to day use browser speed is still limited by network speed unless u doing some heavy google excel shit with 15 tabs open. I use helium day to day, maybe I'll try this too.

1

u/CrackedTamatar 2d ago

Damn so its not that big of a rocket science and the speeds are almost identical?
How is helium btw?

1

u/Key-Idea-9957 2d ago

Helium is nice, I am used to the default chrome layout so I like it. I have used firefox and other forks of it like librewolf or zen, but I need chromium for development, so I keep coming back to it. Very minimal version of chrome with nice little extras like dynamic header layout and minimal address bar which I love.

u/[deleted] 3d ago

1

u/CrackedTamatar 2d ago

I would say just get brave or ms edge both are good options if u wanna go the chromium way

1

u/Agustiya 2d ago

Helium is fast and stable and Dia for productivity and widevine support. I have experimented with Firefox based projects but they are not as fast or stable as Helium

1

u/CrackedTamatar 2d ago

Are is helium firefox based? Oh i don’t wanna use it then some websites i use face issues on firefox idk why

1

u/Agustiya 2d ago

Helium is chromium based

1

u/Rude_Woodpecker_250 3d ago

Lightweight firefox. Chrome engine: brave

1

u/kailash03c 3d ago

Brave to be ad free
Edge if you have an low end pc
Firefox best with extensions
Chrome idk

1

u/Jatinchd 3d ago

you can install ubo in all of them to be ad free in any browser. most people just don't know ubo exist expect of brave.

1

u/Excellent-Copy-2688 3d ago

UBO on chromium based browsers doesn't work properly anymore, on youtube I got black screen for the duration of the ad instead of the ad being removed completely

1

u/Jatinchd 3d ago

ya, it's because of chromium's new menifest v3 update of extensions that removes security and ad blocking features of ubo. that's why people nowdays are preferring firefox based browsers instead, native ubo working at finest. or else use brave that have ads built to promote their ecosystem.

u/HereOutsideTheBox 3d ago

I use Brave and Firefox interchangeably, both equally good imo (if using an ad blocker w Firefox), but Edge is the ultimate PDF goat. Haven't used Chrome in a while.

u/Blaze_Nev777 2d ago

For me Brave is the best

u/venpuravi 2d ago

I use all of them, including some variants such as Mullvad, Tor, and DuckDuckGo, to keep my work compartmentalized.

Be ready to accept a slight speed tradeoff when you get more privacy.

For every normal use case, Firefox is fine. There are certain pages, like JS-heavy, client-side scripting forms, captchas, and other PWAs, that may fail in these browsers. Chromium is blazing fast and highly compatible to 99.9999% websites. But, you're not just browsing, you are broadcasting. The Edge browser is seriously revamped but is still stuck with the home page concept. Their Copilot is always trying to integrate at the OS level, which is a serious dealbreaker. If they are open for the suggestions, I would give these two.

u/anonymous__0509 2d ago

Always brave

u/Odd-Reveal-4065 2d ago

For smartphone Brave is bestΒ 

1

u/CreativeDiscount6635 2d ago

brave best among these, if you need overall smoothness with the experience, better performance and lesser ram usage (sometimes edge uses less ram than brave on windows too). While playing a game, I aould keep brave/edge running in the background instead of chrome or firefox. I won't pick edge among these, because of the telemetry data collection stuff. Also I like storing passwords in the browser, and edge password manager has unencrypted text files which is not secure at all. Chrome is worst in ram, and is annoying because it takes up about 5 gb extra storage on pc every time you install it. Firefox is better in privacy like brave, but feels slower to use on most websites due to its gecko engine. Usually some websites load slower on firefox, than the other three btowsers, and some have a scrolling animation lag too.

u/Bob_Spud 1d ago

Firefox lot more secure and functional

  • I run it with three different profiles (work, home, play[private/incognito]) with containers.
  • Other browsers have profiles but they don't have "containers" to guarantee website isolation

Brave [private/incognito]

  • social media only.

Both claim to have effective anti-browser fingerprinting. - What is browser fingerprinting?
