I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) (www.zdnet.com)

The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can't use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it's ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

Do any of these sync with the Firefox Android app? Or do they have their own?

Anyone have any thought on Orion? I know it lets you use chrome and Firefox extensions and safari/macos features. Is this the right direction or a triple hitter of danger?

No Linux or Android support, so I literally can't tell you.

I use Firefox and Firefox forks.

Arc is very nice for my workflow, quite a different take on what a browser can be. But I’d say you’re not missing out too much as it’s, unfortunately, no longer in active development.

They still update chromium regularly, but they’re no longer working on functionality or bug fixes because it’s “done” or something. 🤷‍♂️

I am surprised they abandoned it. It was originally launched as a macOS variant only, correct? And Mac users praised it a lot, on the Web. I thought with that level of traction they will keep going.

In contrast, there are projects that have a much lower user base though vocal (read: Pale Moon) and despite struggling with half of the available modern Web pages, those projects still keep going.

Chrome is not the same thing as Chromium.

ITT: people who like to argue about all manner of things except whether or not Chrome and Chromium are the same thing.
