r/browsers

I am currently using the waterfox browser on both PC and mobile, but I'm thinking of maybe switching on PC to librewolf. but I don't know which browser would be the best Librewolf combo on a Android phone. Do you have any suggestions?

I used Free Adblocker Browser before but it keeps freezing and crashing. Have quite a lot of bookmarks and I usually prefer opening a tab to go back to it later (Yeah, I know that might've attributed to it crashing.)

Still, was wondering if there's a browser for android that blocks Ads and can restore your data (bookmarks, opened tabs, history etc.) as it was before. Any suggestions will do, thanks!

Proton.me works perfectly fine in incognito tab but not the normal tab, i changed browsers and even switch to linux but still same thin and even ISP guy didn't help

I want mobile browser that is good on privacy, but doesn't break websites. In other words I want a balance between privacy and usability.

If they have their pros and cons, let me know. And also, if you have other suggestions tell me, but I want something that's FireFox based (not even sure if DuckDuckGo is based on FireFox).

Thanks in advance!

We all have x amount of extensions but which ones do you truly use daily?

For me its Apples Password manager & a YouTube ad blocker. Ok now your turn:)

I’m working on a new browser rn and I really don’t wanna end up making Chrome with a different skin💀So before we decide what actually goes into this thing, figured I’d ask the people who spend half their lives inside a browser lol.

What genuinely pisses you off about Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc etc? What’s one feature you’ve always thought “how tf does a browser still not have this?”
And with AI being shoved into literally everything now 😭 what would you ACTUALLY want AI to do in a browser? Not random AI buttons everywhere, but something you’d genuinely use.

Also curious about privacy/security. What would a new browser have to do for you to actually trust it and move your stuff over? Tabs, extensions, bookmarks, search, history, passwords, RAM eating 47GB for absolutely no reason 💀, syncing, automation, dev tools, UI… literally anything.

And give me the weird ideas too. Don’t worry about whether it sounds realistic. Basically, if Chrome/Safari/Firefox never existed and we were inventing the browser for the first time today…what would you build?

I need a browser for Linux and one show android

I need a browser that is 100% open source, zero bloat/telemetry, extremely private, but still practical as a daily driver (i.e. keeps me logged into websites with normal cookie usage, doesn't break the web). What's the best option rn?

I’ve noticed that when people ask for what’s the best browser, etc, the recommendation (in addition to other usual suspects like Brave, Safari or what not) is usually “just use Firefox” and its forks (Waterfox, LibreWolf, Mull, etc.) are more rarely mentioned.

What are the main reasons behind that? Is it mostly about trust and update speed, or are there concrete technical or practical downsides to using forks instead of mainline Firefox?

I'm looking for a fast browser that lets me use 100% of my screen (hidden top URL bar) while offering vertical tabs.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far and why they didn't work for me:

• Brave: Fast, but I couldn't get it to hide the URL bar / top UI completely for 100% screen usage.
• Vivaldi: Had the layout customization I wanted, but lagged on my PC.
• Zen Browser: Love the UI and vertical tabs, but it feels a bit sluggish at times.

What I'm looking for:

1. Top performance & fast rendering
2. Native (or easy) vertical tabs
3. Borderless / 100% full-screen view (no permanent URL bar at the top)

What is the fastest browser that supports vertical tabs and a completely clean 100% screen layout?

Is there a way to safely install brave origin without paying on windows, or is there a good alternative that does the same thing (i heard that there are scripts to debloat brave but im not really convinced that thay are as good as the real thing (not sure tho))

I have a laptop with 4GB of RAM. I cleaned EVERYTHING, then noticed my storage wasn’t the problem at all. It was Edge taking up 3.4+ GBs, making my memory max at 95% usage (insane).

I need a lightweight browser badly. I’m a chrome user at heart and I’m out of S Mode anyways, but oh my god there’s so many conflicting answers. I just want my computer to friggin run normally.

I feel like Brave is still pretty good for me and I don't really have any problems with it. But lately I've been thinking about switching, and I'm not really sure what I should switch to.

I've been considering Firefox or Zen Browser, but I don't really understand much about RAM usage, performance, or the other differences between them.

And if I switch to Firefox or Zen, I'm pretty sure I'd need to use uBlock Origin, right? Is it actually necessary, and does it affect RAM usage or performance?

Would you guys recommend switching from Brave if I'm already happy with it, or should I just stick with Brave?

Is it just me, or has sending basic feedback/bug reports to browsers like Brave or Firefox become unnecessarily frustrating?

I've used browsers like Opera or Yandex, and whenever you run into an annoying UX flaw or want to suggest a feature, there’s a direct feedback/report option built right into the browser or a clear form on their site. You submit it, you get an automated email with a ticket ID confirming they received it, and an actual staff member eventually replies or routes it to the dev team. Even if support responds with a generic, canned answer, at least you know your message reached a real human and entered the pipeline—which is still miles better than receiving total radio silence.

Meanwhile, with Brave and Firefox, their primary push is to dump you onto a public community forum (Reddit-style). You're forced to create yet another account, jump through categories, and post your issue. Then what happens? Your post sits there with 30 views, zero replies, and gets buried under hundreds of other threads within two days.

It honestly feels like shouting into a void or throwing feedback straight into the recycling bin. Why do users have to turn into forum posters just to submit a feedback?

Does anyone else feel completely turned off by this community-forum-first approach for basic feedback?

I’ve set up SearXNG on my computer but now I want a browser with better integration. Right now I’m using brave and I have my ports IP bookmarked so when I launch my browser I can quickly access SearXNG. Are there any browsers that have integration for self hosted SearXNG instances with good privacy protections?

Title, have found my childhood laptop that I just want to use again

I love firefox. But i cant stand when using youtube to see it run very laggy. Everything. The ui, the videos etc. So i switched to brave. Is there any way to fix it?
