Aaaand tab closed.
This list to me feels like AI trying to average the commoner internet
And the comments here really show it
Great opportunity to mention Brave is owned by a dipshit right-wing homophobe.
And funded by a right-wing billionaire who owns the largest corporate intelligence agency on the planet. Your data is not safe with Brave.

Always has been.
Right beside the fact that their monetary model relies on user activity tracking. Yet they advertise privacy.
A browser that had a seemingly unlimited budget for advertising before it even had users is suspicious as hell.
I've never trusted brave.
Eww opera, at least it's slightly better than opera gx
Edit: TOR? I stopped treating this guy seriously once I read this. Nobody uses TOR for regular browsing. They're full of shit.

I switched from Firefox to Floorp and haven't looked back. Less bloated, same features, haven't found an extension that isn't compatible yet.
Same with Fennec on Android.
This article is pretty poor overall. Why recommend Arc, a browser that requires a user account to even open a webpage, and which the author himself said will probably be disappearing in the near future as part of their own product strategy?
Lame clickbait aimed at nobody.
Floorp is a nightmare from my experience, I've tried it about 2 years ago, it was pretty cool but insanely buggy, I've been trying it maybe once every 2 months ever since and it hasn't gotten better IMO, if you customize almost anything in the ui, things will break eventually, and I always get frequent freezes and crashes.
At this point I just use Firefox with Betterfox user.JS and its been great, you get ff updates as fast as they come out since it's not a frok, also has all bloat and telemetry disabled, whenever I try out another browser I just switch back to ff for one reason or another.

Have you tried Firedragon? Floorp-based but with some eye candy and privacy enhancements. (Linux only at the moment)
This is interesting as I've not even heard of Floorp and alternatives have been such a hot topic the last month between manifest v3 and firefoxes updated terms fiasco.
Can I ask, what for you had you opt for floorp vs the more commonly mentioned alternatives like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc.?

Ironically, I could not reach the end of the list because the fucking ads kept reloading the page and scrolling me to the top. Anyone know which of these 6 would block that?
Anything Firefox based with uBlock origin. Don't see a single ad or anything on mine.

Opera is and always was trash.
I beg to differ, when Opera had its own engine and wasn't Chinese owned - back in the early '00s.

As someone who used Opera 2002-2013 (Presto era), I quibble with the "always".
But I do not quibble with the "is".
I loved opera back then.

Of that list, Zen is the only one really worth considering. And then you have the “but the best one that supports widevine” issue.
Firefox is still great, and Tor Browser is fantastic.
I'm personally checking out Mullvad Browser.

Me using Firefox until Orion comes out:
Hm...not sure, if I want to support another Webkit browser
We need more diversity in web engines

This is just a list of browsers with apparently good tab management.
Firefox can do so too with TST or one of the other extensions in the store. Sometimes(atleast for me), they introduce slightly more lag when opening the browser but otherwise, they can do much of the job. I use Tree Style Tabs even though I might not be a power user of it (read:not actively using every nitty gritty of the extension).
I agree. I'm a pretty happy Firefox user. I am not a power-user of tabs anyway, I try to keep my open tabs to a minimum.
I didn't see Waterfox mentioned in the article or comments, so I'm giving it a shout out now. Firefox is still my #1 browser, which I have synced to all my critical accounts, and use very cautiously, only using a few trustwothy extensions. However, when I want to explore unfamiliar domains or experiment with lesser-known browser extensions, I've relied on the equally dependable Waterfox browser. It's fast, free, and 99% the same as Firefox except it's a completely different app so you can basically have 2 Firefoxes set up and customized for completely different roles. Between the two, I can keep Chrome frozen on my phone and off my desktop (although I have a portable Chromium on USB for emergencies).
You do know Firefox has profiles you can use to effectively make it two (or more) separate browsers?
Not shitting on Waterfox, just FYI.

I’ve really been enjoying Vivaldi. It’s also Chromium-based. It’s easy to customize and it has really good tab management. You can group tabs into workspaces, open split panes, and – this one I really appreciate – you can stack tabs by domain. Added bonus is that the company behind it, Vivaldi Technologies, is Norwegian, which ticks the ‘shop European’ box for me.
As for ad blocking, the shittiness of manifest v3 made me look at options outside the browser rather than rely on extensions. These days I pass all my traffic through adguard, which filters out ads from the request responses. All in all this has been a positive step, because now I can play around with any browser without ever seeing ads.

ZDnet 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
I may get some hate for this but Safari is superior IMO. Especially with the private relay I get with my iCloud+ plan.
lol why are people downvoting this? Safari is a great browser.
People just love to hate on Apple. The true premier US American company.
Yep. Edge for work, Safari for personal.
