@Kdude @rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss you overestimate the average user's ability to customize software

@Kdude @rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss nah, the average user will use the default settings that came when the browser was first installed, unless the browser update itself changed the settings.
Even in business IT there are enough people who go for install and forget.

@kdkorte @Kdude @rustbuckett @itsfoss And that's what preying tech companies hope for.

@itsfoss Brave. I love
️ it. I don't know why people say, "Helium is the browser that Brave should be."@danish_akhtar7 @itsfoss I used Brave for a while until they started advertising at me. IMHO, Ironwolf is the browser Brave should be.

@itsfoss Chrome has no business being on this list. For many people, Firefox has also lost this privilege.
Which browsers are best for privacy?
PrivacyTests.org subjects major web browsers to a suite of automated tests to find out: which web browsers offer the best privacy protections?

@itsfoss Librewolf on desktop, and IronFox on Android. Also, I have the Tor Browser on both.

@itsfoss i started using waterfox for abkut half a year

@itsfoss others: Desktop = Librewolf and Mobile Fennec

@itsfoss I see a lot of reference to Zen Browser. It looks great, I like the organization features, and it's FOSS. But what about plugins? There are a few plugins that I use that aren't directly related to making the browser behave that I use constantly. Proton Pass is a good example. It looks as if the plugin space is lacking so far, but the benefits may actually outweigh this shortcoming.

@itsfoss
Still Firefox here

@Kdude @rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss a LOT of people go default. Think of all the normie husbands, wives, sister and brothers out there. Many of us grew up removing toolbars for a reason. For a lot of people they think the internet should just work and they shouldn't HAVE to try. So they assume it does.
It would be interesting to see how the test works with say uBlock installed. And see just how much work you have to add to them to get them to pass.

@rustbuckett @itsfoss I haven't seen any advertisement on it yet.

@itsfoss
Brave, but I'll switch to Helium once the flatpak gets released.
I need a chromium based browser because I need specific extensions that are only available on the Chrome store.
