what browser is best, im mainly using firefox and the only option i think is as good as zen is helium and brave , i care more about ui and features and performance than security, just give recommendations with pros and cons compared to zen and firefox

Features I'm looking for:

★fullscreen

★ad blocking

★extensions

★pure black/ oled

Hopefully there's an app with all these features.

Soo after using Chrome basically ever since I started using the Internet, I decided to switch firefox. The main reason for this switch is that I wanted extensions and good ad blockers on my Phone (Of course I switched both on my PC and Phone because I want them synced up and everything).

+I tried switching to Brave before but I just don't like smth about it (I can't put my finger on what exactly) and as soon as it stopped blocking ads properly on my phone I threw it into the trash since it doesn't support extensions on mobile.

+Now basically everything I've read about Firefox is positive except for the fact that some sites don't load properly on it. Is this an issue I'll run into very often or something that happens rarely.

+Also is there anything else I need to know about it?

+Basically my complete ecosystem is Google (Phone, Watch, TV, Home...) only my PC and Tablet are Windows. Will that change, away from Chrome going to have an effect on this or will I barely notice it.

Thanks for any tips and information in advance!

One browser or five? I'm curious how you actually manage your browsing life.

Some people stick to one browser for everything. Others use Chrome for work, Firefox for privacy, Brave for everyday browsing, or Vivaldi for its powerful tab management.

And then there are those of us who seem to collect browsers almost as enthusiastically as bookmarks. 😂

But beyond which browser is best, I'm curious about something else:

How do you actually manage everything across them?

Tabs, bookmarks, saved pages, research, ongoing projects, switching devices... Everyone seems to have their own system.

I'm conducting a small independent research survey to better understand how people use browsers, organize their online activities, and manage information across browsers and devices.

Whether you use one browser on one device, the same browser across multiple devices, or several different browsers, your perspective is equally valuable.

The survey takes about 4–6 minutes. There's no browser ranking, no sales pitch, no product promotion, and no pricing questions.

👉 Take the survey here:

At the end, there's an entirely optional opportunity to express interest in testing an early product related to browsing organization. You don't need to provide an email to participate in the research.

Big thanks to the r/browsers mods for giving me permission to share this! 🙌

since arc is dying i wanted to switch over, but i'm not sure whether it's safe to just import all my data into Zen since i've seen some concerns online.

saw this on the recent post and couldn't identify thgem..never seen em before..what are they..

the ones circled red ofc...:3 !

I'm searching for alternatives to Zen as i really like the UI, and it eats RAM. I use Linux btw so i need a browser supported by Fedora.

Back in 2004 there was what was known as the "second browser war" hotting up with both Firefox and Safari trying to dislodge Internet Explorer. The fact that Mozilla made an ad reflecting that era confirmed my feelings. Now in 2026 I am seeing browser innovation everywhere with browsers switching to fortnightly updates adding more and more features and also adding even more flexibility to the web engines themselves (More CSS and JavaScript capabilities coming in Interop 2026/27). I have multiple browsers installed again since there is so much innovation that I can't keep to one browser for all my use cases. If you're a browser dev you really need to listen to users feedback and sentiment on social media to keep your browser fresh and innovative. Then there is the upcoming alpha release of Ladybird which could really add new competition to by introducing a fourth modern capable engine to the mix.

I have Edge, Vivaldi and Firefox windows open right now and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Things are moving fast at Bare, and a huge part of that momentum comes from the r/browsers community! Your feedback, suggestions, and support have helped shape Bare into what it is today. A huge thanks to the moderators for letting us share our progress here. This community is a big part of why Bare even exists!

Downloads keep growing, feedback keeps coming in, and we're constantly improving the browser based on your suggestions.

But one thing became clear: Bare needed its own identity.

When I started this project as Chromium-Extend, the goal was simple: Build a better Chrome than Google does.

Keep the familiar Chrome experience, clean Material Design, and simplicity, but without the unnecessary bloat, telemetry, or subscriptions.

That philosophy isn't changing.

So, why Bare 2.0 already?

Bare 1.0 established the foundation, but it still looked and felt too much like Chromium.

Bare 2.0 changes that.

Here's what's coming:

• A completely refreshed UI and a brand-new logo.
• Better security and privacy controls.
• Faster, easier tab management.
• Improved extension integration.
• Built-in translation.
• More customization without the bloat.

And yes, we're keeping that familiar, vanilla Chrome feeling.

Bare will finally look and feel like Bare.

What's next?

Bare 2.0 is entering beta, and your feedback will continue to shape its development.

We're also working on better password management, backup and restore, improved import/export, and more community-requested features.

Bare is still an independent, open-source project. No subscriptions, no premium tiers, and no telemetry. Just a browser we're passionate about building.

If you're enjoying Bare, an honest Google Play review helps more than you might think. And if something needs improvement, keep the feedback coming. We're listening!

I started Bare as a personal project. Seeing it grow into something thousands of people use has been incredible.

Bare 2.0 is just the beginning.

Try Bare 2.0 on Google Play

Bare 2.0 is currently in public beta! Make sure to join the beta to get access to the latest version.

A quick heads-up: Bare 2.0 is still in beta, so expect a few bugs and rough edges along the way. That's what beta testing is for! Your feedback will help us make it even better.

If you ever delete Edge browser on windows without downloading another browser what you can do is go to power shell (search it up in windows search)

And then do winget search _____ the browser you want you will most likely find that browser

Then do winget install ______ the name of that browser and there you go.

You asked for the IDM clone, so here it is! 🚀

I’ve made my reverse-engineered download manager available for free, along with its source code for anyone who wants to explore it or contribute.

In this video, I explain how to get it, contribute to the project, and what other software can be reverse engineered.

Since today i'm getting ads on every video that i click even though i always have UBO activated. I wonder if it's related to some recent update to Youtube or the new Firefox 159 update too.

j'ai découvert ce navigateur indépendant et Open Source nommé Zephium, j'ai aucun sponsorisation ou demande de leur part, sa plaira pas a tout le monde le coté "navigateur IA" et de même pour le style de présentation, mais en vrai je vous le recommande il est super pratique et originale, sa change des navigateur bateau qui toujours de nouvelle version de système existant.
(vous chercherai sur YouTube pour la présentation officiel)

I've always liked using Firefox but felt their AI sucked balls. So ended up using Brave as my privacy browser of choice. Then Brave's AI also started to be garbage. Constantly never providing answers, plus there's a monthly cost associated with it.

But now with Apple Intelligence recently updated and working on desktop and mobile browsers, I've found the maybe Firefox meets all my needs. It's a really great browser.

I wanna switch from Arc to another browser since their notice that it will shut down by December, I tried Dia but I'm not happy with it. I really loved Arc and loved the user experience there. It's sad that it will be shut down. anyone switched to a similar browser? or what browser are you planning to switch to? I tried Brave and it's good but I prefer Arc still. I heard about Zen. what do you think i should try? what's your daily browser that you use? would appreciate any recommendations.

Edit 1: I use Macbook Air M1

I recently found out about the Arc browser and the customization looks cool. Sucks its shutting down.

Chrome has been bugging me lately and i'm trying to switch to a new browser (I'm thinking of Firefox but open to other suggestions, (preferably high speed no lag, no ai and looks pleasing))

I managed to transfer all the little saved tabs on the bookmark bar but i dont know how to transfer the saved tab groups or my chrome extensions

I just installed AntiX Linux on an old laptop that's 32-bit and I was looking for lightweight browsers. Several people recommended Midori, but on their website I see they only offer downloads for 64-bit systems? Is this correct?
