I like Edge

It’s basically chrome but not bloated

When you open edge on new device you have to click ~6 times to close all popups and you say it’s not bloated?

Best part of Lemmy is the lack of Brave bros (Inb4 downvotes, I know you’re still out there)

I use Brave and enjoy it. What’s the problem?

When I was testing different browsers for personal use I was personally put off by the gamified crypto stuff when I just wanted a browser.

That’s fine. You shouldn’t use something you don’t enjoy.

I enjoy Brave as a browser and I’ll keep using it until I find something that suits me better.

I’d rather use firefox on desktop. On mobile I recently switched to bromite as default browser and firefox for everything else.

Edit: Looks like bromite is not active anymore. I am once again in search for a chromium browser.

Ditch it on mobile and try Firefox Mobile instead. You can install ublock origin in it, it’s great.

I already have Mull for everyday browsing and stuff, but for PWA Mull seems a bit slower. I do use native alpha for PWA but Voyager which is a lemmy web client doesn’t work well in native alpha.

Maybe check outCromite, a bromite fork that’s updated still.

I use mull for regular browsing, but anything important, and by default, I use Vanadium (grapheneos only). At least until firefox gets site isolation on mobile

Firefox is underrated. The only issue I have is sites that are only optimized for Chromium, and especially edge. A lot of businesses and medical websites only develop for and test for 1 browser, and it used to be Internet Explorer, but now it’s Edge.

Then there’s Microsoft Websites too. I don’t know if it’s like that anymore, but I always had to use Edge instead of Firefox to subscribe to or cancel Xbox Game Pass in the past.

Yup. Quick books and our government website both require chrome. It’s like… The stuff I do that I most care about not giving to Google, I have to give to Google. Drag.

You can try with chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. I find Vivaldi works on sites that don’t like Firefox. There’s also brave or duck duck go’s mobile browser.

I second Vivaldi. It’s a great chromium based alternative to chrome, and the level of customisation on offer is jaw-dropping. Its mouse gestures in particular, have been a huge convenience. The only thing about it that irks me somewhat is that it’s noticeably slower to start compared to Firefox and Edge.

Vivaldi is non-free so it’s a non-starter for me. “Privacy friendly” isn’t enough for me, I need the four freedoms.

For me, the only website that creates issues with Firefox is Teams, but it does run on Chromium.
