Firefox or Chrome?

[ill]

Have you tried the Opera Mini-browser?

I have not. Good? I currently have Firefox.

I still like sticking to the Chrome Mobile Browser for now... but I'm sure I'll switch when Vilvadi goes Mobile also.

I can't say as I don't have anything to use it on. (Yeah, I'm stubborn but I was a slave to a pager in the 80s and refuse to be slave to a phone)

I'm not an Apple guy so I have stayed away from anything Apple-related.

the incognito mode in Chrome is better, IMO

Opera mini is multi platform. If you had a Windows phone (excuse me while I laugh) Vivaldi would work according to their site by installing it as an UWP app.

I had one...my first smart phone after my Blackberry was one. I didn't hate the OS, but it didn't interface with Verizon too great.

I wish Linux (Ubuntu specifically) would dump Firefox as it's default browser. Vivaldi and Chrome both run circles around it.

Vivaldi is nice and I'm really liking it. Built by the original authors of Opera and uses Chrome extensions. I think they might have a mobile version too...

FWIW, Opera was rated best recently. Used it for a while a long time back and it was going through so many changes I quit using it.

Giving Vivaldi a try, like what I see so far. Been using Opera for about a week and really like it, but couldn't get sandboxie to work with it for some reason. Sandboxie works fine with Vavaldi though.

Could it be they are "sandboxing" everything themselves, or so I understand that's is kind of what they're doing.

Maybe, reading on sandboxie forum I don't see others mentioning that though. Tried no extensions and turning off anti virus just to see if that helped, it didn't.

Hey @KansasSooner does Vilvadi support Pop-Up Windows? Doesn't seem to be working for me... unless its a specific setting.

Gonna try Opera Mini on my Android. See if I like it.

I might give it a try but unfortunatley for now I have an Apple but I am switching to Samsung soon

At this point in time, no. It has been an issue they are working on. Maybe the next release which is due out soon will solve this problem.

I thought Opera mini was multi platform and available for the iPhone.

I think it is but its not compatible on my old device

I've ran just about every browser you cant think of at one time or another and honestly ...
I keep going back to Firefox when it comes to Windows. I just feel more "at home" with it and prefer the extension library.

For Linux you are pretty much stuck with Chrome if you want to use Netflix.

On android I generally run a combination of Chrome, Dolphin, and Puffin. Puffin is great if you need to browse a site running a lot of java and flash. (The lady plays pogo.com and Puffin is the only option here) More often than not I'm using Chrome.

As someone else mentioned ... Firefox is by far the most secure/private option on Windows. Google likes to spy.
And then you have TOR Browser (modified firefox essentially) for anonymity and darkweb.

Chrome is better for more casual users or lower-end PCs - simpler and slicker.

Firefox is better for people who want heavy customization
