A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Right? Use Firefox or a derivative (ex. LibreWolf). Ladybird will be coming out in the future so that may be a viable option.

From Ladybird's website:

No code from other browsers. We're building a new engine, based on web standards.

Except... Chromium is the living standard for the web. They'll have the same problem as Firefox, playing catch-up to whatever happens in Chromium.

Right now, the viable browsing experience is a combination of browsers:

  • Chromium derived - latest compatibility
  • Firefox with extensions - daily driver
  • Tor Browser - actual chance of privacy

And a VPN and/or Pi-hole.

I'm using Zen since a month or two. I used Arc before because I really craved for a vertical tab-browser that didn't look a**. But for one Arc is in maintenance mode and also Zen is open source and so on. I prefer chromium and their devtools honestly, but I see the problems with Chrome and Google.. I hope, Firefox will get better with some time.
