I've moved back to Chrome and am testing out tab managing extensions. Not sure which one I'd like to go with yet, open to recommendations.

Firefox with uBlock Origin

    This is the correct answer.

    Switched to Firefox from Safari a few years ago, it has been great so far.

    The only problem I encountered is with the containers feature, I couldn’t set it up for Google products (got an infinite redirect).

It's sad they ditched a good browser I would have paid for for a new browser that has a ai chat on the side(what it seems to be so far). Anyway the best it's still Firefox/Zen imo

I went Brave. Some people (lobste.rs) dislike it because of some practices they regard as dodgy in commercialisation/scraping of sites. But, it conforms to chrome codebase and appears to work well.

    Yeah, vertical tabs since 2023, included adblock, mostly vanilla Chrome except for the crypto offering that you can just turn off (still seems interesting as a ramp I may eventually use, but through another profile)

    There are plenty of people here who don't like them either. "Edgy" suggests they are kind of cool. Being an Australian I would use "Dodgy" instead.

      Being an australian, I updated edgy to dodgy

Zen browser uses a lot of Arc features and is based on Firefox.

I use chromium (through scoop) and Zen the last 8 months and I feel very very productive.

I just keep an Edge install / profile for my work because the company uses outlook and azure. But the real work is on the above (jupyter/ reading lecture notes/ bookmarks / social media / github+bitbucket)

    What's your review of Zen? Seems like a good option

    • mkbkn 2 days ago

      Not OP, but Zen is very good. So good I now rarely use any Chromium based browsers.

      • Vishal19111999 a day ago

        Is Zen not on Chromium?

        Will I be able to install Chrome Extensions on it?

        • mirkodrummer a day ago

          It is Firefox based, as for extensions no, it uses Firefox store, but popular extensions(like u block origin) are usually published on multiple stores

        • fithisux a day ago

          It is FF based. I use Downloadstar to scrap lectures. Chromium does not have one.

    • fithisux a day ago

      Fantastic, acceptable performance, no occasional sound like Chromium.

      Very stable.
