I don’t like Zen’s style of vertical tabs, and I don’t like the zen-specific extensions that can and do break when they move to new firefox versions.
I use Floorp with the settings set to “optimize for vertical tabs” while still using horizontal tabs, and then use the Sidebery extension for my vertical tabs.
Sidebery is available in the Zen extensions but it didn’t work as well the last time I tried it.
The one thing that I did really like about Zen was the split pane tabs.
Brave is the only browser I use on Windows and Linux, Braves Leo AI is pretty good as well as the private search which works better than google.
i use zen for my school. the main complaint is that it is a flatpak, which just makes it worse than a direct binary imo : )
SeaMonkey, which I use mainly for email. Otherwise I mostly use Chrome (or Supermium on Windows).
I would rather have to block the spyware functions in HOSTS or however else than fight with a browser that will not let me set it up how I need it. The last time I tried some ungoogled Chromium, I could not install the two extensions I need (UBlock and DarkReader) and without DarkReader my eyes burn and I can’t use the browser anyway.
At the very least, give us the choice to install whatever we want. I don’t mind if your choices are preinstalled. (I’d just as soon the lot of them were, saves me the trouble.)
Who? 
If you mean OM (the ISO must come with a browser, whatever it may be regardless of personal preferences)
and many others are available in the repository 
I don’t recall which distro I was looking at, but recently I came across one that had no obvious way to install any browser not officially blessed by the distro.
I don’t much care which comes with the distro so long as I can install what I want without any extra hassle.
You’ve got that with OMLx 
Options as far as the eyes can see.
I keep a few browsers around: Firefox, IceCat, ungoogled-chromium, PaleMoon, Konqueror, Falkon, Brave.
Current favorite is IceCat with all this going on:
For my personal stuff I use Brave and occasionally Chrome. At work it’s Edge (because we are on the O365 ecosystem)
Well, after several days of using Falkon as my primary browser, I am sold. It has been a very pleasant experience… simple, fast, and unbloated. There may be websites I haven’t tried yet (banking, for example) for which it won’t work well, but everything so far has been excellent. DDG as default search engine, built-in ad blocking (not as robust as uBlock Origin, but not bad), and otherwise pretty decent plug-ins.
We all know the “woke” issues around Firefox, but there are other things to consider as well:
Mozilla - Devil Incarnate
Choose your browser carefully - Unix Digest
Brave, fast and best for blocking ads and tracking.
I find the Blink engine in Brave to be faster than the Gecko engine in either Floorp or Mullvad.
I use all 3, each with a few privacy extensions and settings tweaks.
Brave’s built-in ad-blocking is pretty good and earning BAT (completely optional) on the side is nice. I was also using Librewolf until I learned it went woke, so I switched to Floorp as my Firefox-based browser.
Waterfox, because I’m used to firefox
Brave for school and sites that don’t like firefox
Micro$oft EDGE and Libre Wolf.
Brave for pretty much everything aside from testing sites with chromium occasionally.
I have found little difference in good Gecko powered browsers vs good Blink powered ones, provided both are hardened with some privacy extensions.
A youtuber called Theo Joe has some good tips about hardening the browsers natively as well, using the about:config in Gecko browsers and the brave://flags/ in Brave (a similar URL for Chromium), but you have to be careful with those.
A couple of good sites to check your browser’s security/privacy are:
and
Firefox and Vivaldi here - because of the gestures.
Tried Zen and Floorp. Nope.
I use Zen for everyday, Firefox for I2P, Yandex for certain sites that refuse to work on Zen.
I use Brave and Firefox, but they both piss me off. I have to use something though, so here we are.
I have Adguard system level adblock and DNS blocking via my router on top on Brave’s built in adblock and Ublock on Firefox.
Looking forward to seeing what ladybird does.
