“Fast” means “close” or “almost” in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.
Firefox or any other non chromium based browser
Genuinely don’t know of any others but Firefox. I do a little lynx sometimes for super sus stuff but it’s barely a browser…
There’s Konqueror. I don’t know how secure it is, though…
Konqueror was discontinued a couple years ago, unfortunately. Edit: apparently it wasn’t.
Last stable release was 43 days ago, according to Wikipedia.
Really? I guess I was wrong.
There’s WebKit and KHTML based ones, although I don’t know of any mainstream browsers that use those aside from safari or iOS. Other niche options exist for Linux.
There’s also DuckDuckGo’s browser - but I’m not sure what it’s based on.
Fairly certain its Webkit.
It’s Blink based as far as I know, well at least on Android, iOS still doesn’t allow other browsers.

That and konqueror where what I had in mind. I guess there is also gecko and ie as well as the ones I listed in my original comment now that I think about it.
The only others I know of are Mac-only: Safari and Orion.
Orion is great. I wish there was a Linux version.
Gnome Epiphany (renamed to Gnome Web at some point?) uses Safari’s rendering engine.
Never heard of Orion before!
Orion is by the developers of Kagi (a paid search engine that is actually as good, if not better, than Google) and has ad-blocking and anti-tracking built in natively. It’s awesome.
Oooooh, now you’ve got me interested. I’ve heard good things about Kagi’s paid search and yet to give it a try.
w3m is nice in terms of text based browsers although it can’t run javascript
Opera, Safari, Brave, Lynx, Edge, Tor, and some others. There are a bunch of derivative browsers too.
isn’t opera chromium based?

It is now, but it didn’t use to be

Brave and Edge too, I thought? And Tor is based on Firefox iirc
There are chromium browsers that respect privacy. Vanadium for example
And yet it’s still using chromium, which means it’s still perpetuating all of the issues that Google is currently pushing. Things like Web Environment Integrity API, which is designed to make adblocking virtually impossible and make tracking easier than ever. Or Manifest V3, which is basically purpose-built to block adblocker extensions from running, by limiting the amount of control they have to edit webpages.
Saying that the browser is fine because it respects privacy is a little bit like saying your stoner uncle is cool because he buys alcohol for you and the rest of your 12 year old friends. It’s not really something we should be praising.
What are you even saying? You went off rail really fast I said there are chromium that respect privacy. There are other. And there are good browsers that don’t depend on chromium
Chromium is compromised… not just Chrome itself. Anything downstream of Chromium is gets all of Google’s recent malware like adblock-prevention and web-DRM baked right in.
No matter the downstream projects’ goals, they are still working from a compromised upstream source.
Yet every single android user do not have a choice. Use a good chromium based browser OR use a chromium based webview PLUS Firefox gecko with security issues since Sandboxing is lightyears behind chromium. Get off your 🚬 🐎
It doesn’t sound like you understand that Firefox is available on Android?
It doesn’t sound like you understand what a webview is. Or have a clue about Firefox crappy Sandboxing on mobile.
I know that I recently switched to Firefox on android and have been much happier since. Go ahead and lick that boot tho because: SaNdBOxInG
Its not very good tho
Disagree. What gave you this idea?
Fast haben sie ein nützliches Programm geschaffen.
They almost made a useful program.
Fasten is also a verb in German.
A depressed loaf of bread taught me “Mist” means “crap” in German
Why do you have ads?
i use it with firefox. very solid adblock. never had a single issue over about three years.
How neutered is that for Manifest V3?
In Firefox, it’s not. YMMV in other browsers.
I guess the Sync app uses chromium so clicking the link took me to the Chrome extension so I thought that is what you explicitly linked.
Quite a lot. There’s a lite version for Mv3, but it’s hands are tied
And already today, uBlock Origin works best on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
The best out there!
a question, what is the difference between uBlock and uBlock Origin?
uBlock Origin is the real deal, don’t use uBlock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#uBlock
Its almost as fast as firefox.
Wow so edgy
This thread has more drama than the opera.
nothing beats
redditlemmitors*lemmings
FTFY
These people behave like wild animals at a safari
Internet Explorer is not responding
In this hellish netscape I sure could use a good navigator.
Yep, that’s why I use Firefox lol

reminder that any proprietary piece of software is technically malware
Edge sure feels like malware. Installs itself without asking. Spams you into oblivion when you use it. I hab real malware that was less intrusive.
Well… thats just unfortunate :D
No, thanks. I use Ungoogled Chromium.
Why not just use Firefox? It’s not built on Chromium at all.
I use Firefox almost exclusively… However there are some websites that I’ve made purchases on that straight up don’t work with Firefox, in which case I’ll use Edge :(
Why not Brave at least?
I’m going to listen to you; I’m going to use Firefox. My problem has always been that it’s hard for me to use non-Chromium based browsers, but I’m up to the challenge.
Maybe they prefer Webkit
Chromium uses Blink tho, Safari and a few smaller browsers use Webkit
Ungoogled Chromium is a cool project I highly respect, but I think we’re at a point where no browser using Chromium can be called ungoogled in good conscience anymore.
