Poll What is the Best Firefox-based Web Browser?

[Marko :)]

Tor. If it's too slow for you and you don't care about privacy you can reduce the countries that are used for relay. Only browser that allows you to shake off trackers.

I tried Tor once and I'm struggling to see why would anyone use it if they aren't in authoritarian country that censors interner. You can't visit a single website without being asked to solve captcha. Every single website I opened, boom, captcha.

Tor is the king when it comes to anonymity, but I'm looking here for usability and security over privacy because it will be for daily use.

I vote for LibreWolf. I downloaded it for a test and liked it a lot. The most important thing: even in the portable version, it updates itself at startup and does not require downloading and installing something separately on top of it like other portable versions of software.

Did you notice any broken websites, or you just start using it recently?

I haven't used it much. I didn't notice any problems. Overall, I liked this browser. Plus, it's one of the best in privacy, if that's important to you.

Just be sure to add some kind of phishing and malware protection add-on because Librewolf comes without any as Google Safe Browsing is disabled by default.

Disabled so it can be enabled, or it is not even exist at all?

What do you recommend? I usually use TrafficLite.

It's disabled and you need to obtain Google Safe Browsing API key if you want to enable it.

Traffic Light or Emsisoft Browsing Security. Though, even with them you lose malware protection.

Yeah, I see. So I'd better turn on Google Safe Browsing according to the instructions on the LibreWolf website, right?

Absolutely! Google Safe Browsing gives you both, phishing and malware protection. It won't replace the antivirus software you have installed, but it's the first line of defense.

It's definitely Zen. It uses the latest version of Firefox and has the customization of Vivaldi.

If I remember well you are a Vivaldi user, how do you compare Zen to Vivaldi (I like Vivaldi, and it will be good to find a similar browser based on Firefox engine).

I really do like both browsers, and I find myself going back and fourth on a daily driver. I like Zen because they have their own "mod store", which is just users submitted css mods. Zen add customizability that other Firefox forks don't have. (I haven't bested the Floorp 12 beta though.) Zen is the best at vertical tabs, which is something other Firefox forks just don't seem to be able to do. It really does seem like Zen is for gecko what Vivaldi is for Chromium, without the m3 that Vivaldi offers.
