These are all just chrome and firefox with extra steps.
@Thyazide @Tutanota
From Vivaldi concerning it being Chromium based:
"Vivaldi is based on Chromium, which is open-source, and all the
improvements we make to this code are published under the same open-
source license. Thatβs roughly 95% of the code. The remaining 5%, related to Vivaldi's UI, remains proprietary to this day, although it is still possible to make sense of the obfuscated code and edit it to mod the browser to your liking (something some of the community members do).
As for the reasons for not going fully open-source at the moment, despite
many of Vivaldi's employees being proponents and users of open-source
software, the devil is in the details. The UI is what makes Vivaldi a unique
browser, we wouldnβt want our work to be used to create a forked browser
that opposes our ethics, and given our limited resources, we cannot
commit to review submitted patches.
This is what works for our company now, but the discussion is, regardless,
far from settled."
True
I like Librewolf
Librewolf is the only answer
Firefox, always happy with it as a user
how many of these alternatives are firefox forks and how many of them are chrome forks?
Except duck, all the ones I know are Firefox forks.
Duck AFAIK is neither
Duck is Chrome except on Mac where it's Safari.
Aren't most of those just chrome in a hooded jacket?
Most of them actually are Firefox in a hooded jacket.
I like zen flavored Firefox and librewolf
I absolutely adore LibreWolf!
@Tutanota @firefox @duckduckgo @puffin @Waterfox @ecosia @palemoon @zenbrowser @mullvadnet @torproject @Freenet @librewolf **Waterfox**, of course : No Mozilla A.I. bullshit but still account Sync through all my browsers. π
I love PaleMoon, but can't really daily drive it. Mostly just use Waterfox and Firefox. Waterfox is fantastic and fixes pretty much every issue I've ever had with Firefox.
Do search engine browsers like DuckDuckGo or Ecosia have anything to offer? From my experience they're just Firefox but worse. Has anything changed recently?
