Advice Request Which browser is the most feature-rich?

[Ink]

Out of the box, without installing extensions, which browser do you find to be the most feature-rich? The one that can do it all. Is it Firefox, Edge, Opera or something else?

 

[Arequire]

Vivaldi. Their whole shtick is being loaded with features.

 

[plat]

Agreed w/Vivaldi. It's clogged with "stuff" in its UI. Doesn't make it the "best" in features, just makes it more....more.

Look at this.

Microsoft Edge is getting split screen mode - here's how to enable it

Microsoft Edge is getting a new "split screen" feature that lets you view two websites in one window by allowing you to split tabs across the screen.

Oh, without a doubt it's vivaldi. It even has an email client.

I have tried Vivaldi a few times myself and agree with everyone here, if you want a lot of features, Vivaldi is the browser to use. I found it overwhelming with all the different settings and tweaks it has. It also ran slower than Chrome or Edge so I turned off some of the features and settings that I knew I would never use and it got somewhat faster. I also found it faster with a solid color theme instead of the default color-changing theme. Every time I have used Vivaldi it just seemed too busy and complicated. But if you want features and customization options, Vivaldi is the main one to try.

C.H.

Absolutely, to the point ...

... where I didn't even make far enough to try this.

I do like the fact that vivaldi gives users the chance to make the browser fit them, and not forcing them to have it look and act like they want. Overwhelming? Maybe. But appreciated.

Slimjet, Cent, Torch browser?

 

[Zero Knowledge]

Edge/Firefox/Brave. I find all three are pretty customizable and full of features. Daily driver is Brave, I just like the ethics behind the browser.

Slimjet, Cent, Torch browser?

They have such a small userbase, I've used them all, they are OK, but they are just not as polished than the best browsers.

Vivaldi is a tweaker's hobby-horse. Me like Slimjet. Less is more.

If less is more, how much more is more?

[Templarware]

Opera GX maybe not the same quantity as Vivaldi, but in quality.

Agreed, but I find both Firefox'and Edge UIs more appealing. I finally gave up on Brave., in part because of this.

If less is more, how much more is more?

It's the difference between an ukulele (4 strings) and a pedal-harp (46 strings).

Check the sing-alongs at cook-outs on the beaches, on a balmy moonlit evening in the summer -- waaay more ukes (less strings ) than pedal-harps (more strings)! So -- less is more.

I have 2 monies and you have 3 monies, which one of us has more?

It depends on what one does with the less versus what one does with the more. 2 monies given to a person in need is more valuable than 3 monies spent for ping pong balls.

Personally, I'd say Google Chrome is one of the most feature-rich browsers out of the box. It has a smooth and fast browsing experience, with built-in features such as a password manager, incognito mode, and the ability to sync bookmarks and tabs across devices. That being said, other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge also have their own strengths and offer a lot of great features without needing extensions.

 

[oldschool]

One big upside of Edge is its many sync-related features like this: Updates Thread - Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download
This type of feature mostly benefits users who are fine taking advantage of Microsoft ecosystem, e.g. Outlook, OneDrine, multiple device syncing etc.
