      I usually use Opera, and my next go-to browser is Firefox.

      I'm on Linux (Mageia) and Opera has the least Flash problems I've encountered and is one of the fastest compared to some others. Just wish it would be more up-to-date compared to the Windows counterpart where it's hella fast although it doesn't have as many features.

      Firefox has definitely grown a lot and IMO they've really dealt with the memory problems well and is definitely a lot faster than several releases ago.

      Chrome is alright but it's a bit bloated on Linux for some reason. I'm not sure why a browser would need a 60MB+ package to be installed so it's definitely not as fast as Opera or Firefox. Also I'm still worried about privacy.  :cens:

            Hi!

            Opera under Linux had that same problem with java and much more when activated  flash. Then going performance down but still now OK and to work.

            Chrome will never be installed on pc because its from Google. I dont like Google anyway 😉

            Bye

              I use Chrome and Safari. Really useful when you have the plugin adblock installed.

                If you like Chrome, you should try Aviator.

                https://www.whitehatsec.com/aviator

                Based on the same open-source Chromium code that Chrome uses, with privacy, security safeguards, and ad blocking already preconfigured.

                      More and more I have gone from using Firefox to use Chrome.

                          i've switched quite a few times cause it seems like there's always something that doesn't really work as it should with each lol, but i've really settled with firefox now - sometimes i open chrome for sites that really don't like you having adblock, but that's it.

                                I go between Firefox and Chrome, you just have to know how to deal with the privacy issues that Chrome has, there are ways to block and by-pass many of the issues that everyone is talking about. :cheers:

                                  Vivaldi is hottest "new" browser. It has the same base as Opera and Chrome, but Vivaldi is coded for power users, wherein Chrome & Opera tends to keep things simple (inorder not to confuse the user).

                                  I like Vivaldi A LOT. But for pr0n browsing Opera is my choice.

                                  Chrome, Vivaldi and Opera all can use the same extensions and download them from Chrome web store.

                                    Because of problems with the Internet, I started using Tor and Duckduckgo for my phone, they are good. DDG intergration is greate, fully suited, completely better than chrome. Tor surprisingly good, sometimes better than chrome, lately I'm dissatisfied with chrome.

                                      Actually Tor is kind of slower, because of the proxies.

                                        I prefer Chromium-based browsers. They're much lighter and responsive on web content than Mozilla-based ones, at least in my experience.
