From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ungoogled chromium. It's faster then firefox in nearly everything I test, doesn't have stupid issues like not rendering gradients properly.
I use firefox on my desktop for one single reason, and that's because there is literally nothing for chromium, that is remotely close to simple tab groups.
Librewolf, which is great, but I have been desperate for alternatives for a long time now. I also use Falkon and Gnome Web on the side and those are ok, but unfortunately not on the level of Firefox and its ilk. I've been considering Waterfox and GNU IceCat also, but honestly the overall situation is depressing. Currently, Librewolf ticks most of my boxes, but every browser has some issue or another that I'm not keen on. I have no idea what the next step is.
Uninstalled firefox yesterday. Trying out vivaldi, the company lead has a history of advocacy. Might give librewolf a go soon, need a browser that ping pongs mobile and desktop seamlessly, has ad blocks available and a flatpack.
I gave up on firefox 1 year ago and went to the dark side with Brave. I am really happy with it even tho part of it is closed source.
Despite my issues with it, I use Chrome. It's simply too integrated into my life. But I just saw (like 2 minutes ago) from another thread here about Zen Browser and maaaan is it nice.
Zen is good. Arc is decent if you must have a chromium browser for some reason, but not OSS
Isn't Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues? And Arc is VC funded...

Yes, it seems to use the same engine as Firefox.
