I main Firefox but, want a Chromium browser for Android/Windows that I can use occasionally.
What are your preferred choices?
Edit: okay I tested out a lot of your suggestions and found Vivaldi to by my favourite so far :) thanks y’all
Honest question: What for? I have never encountered a site that was truly broken on Firefox.
They exist first two the come to mind.
If you have a very low end PC, Youtube works far better on Chrome then Firefox.
Some online games like Krunker and Yorg3 run better in Chrome
There was an article some time ago that taked about Google deliberately making youtube worse for firefox users.
Try screen share on jitsi
Jitsi works fine on FF for me
One example is Voyager for Lemmy. Runs better using Brave than Firefox as a PWA
Sure wish I could say the same. It doesn’t happen that often, but for example the last time was just a day or two ago.
Some addons do not work on my Firefox after some updates. Had to switch to Chromium sadly. Around 2 years I switched back to Firefox but I think this time I just stay at Chromium. Seems to be more stable and quicker…
Vivaldi is awesome on Windows/Linux and peerless on Android.
Not really a factor but rather a fun fact - I recently discovered they have a Mastodon instance, which can be of interest to lemmies.
Vivaldi has a special place in my heart since it’s made by the original Opera people.
Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.
If we all stop using firefox, then chromium has a complete monopoly. That’s dangerous with something as important as a web browser. Lets not forget that Chromium is sponsored/maintsined by Google.
I have no intention of stopping my Firefox use. I just want an occasional Chromium browser
Ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi are my favorites
Brave for Chromium and Librewolf for Mozilla.
If I have to use a chromium based browser, I go vivaldi. The closed source parts are annoying, but it’s still better than the other options for my preferences.
“Closed source parts” Pal it’s only the UI that is closed-source. If that still triggers a problem I don’t even know what to say.
It’s still annoying.
chromium, or maybe brave on old phones
Brave is hands down the best chromium based browser for privacy. They do a lot under the hood to block trackers and ads. I would do a little more research into ungoogled chromium. Imo it’s better to have a whole community and company backing a browser like Brave rather than a few developers basically patching source code and shipping it.
The only research I had to do was to simply open Wireshark and then Brave. Did the same with Ungoogled and lets just say Ungoogled actually delivers on their promise while Brave is simply Chrome that calls Brave servers instead of Google.
Brave, period.
Brave, definitely.
I use Bromite on Android whenever Firefox mobile decides to die
Bromite has been abandoned unfortunately, definitely worth thinking about another chromium backup browser for sure.
Oh, well that is good to know. Thanks
Use Cromite on mobile. It’s a continuation of Bromite which has been maintained by one of the devs since bromite quit being updated a year or so ago. Previously it was called bromite-buildtools, but they just recently got a new name and logo.
Chromium or Brave are going to be good options. I really dig Vanadium on mobile as my backup to Mull, but there’s not a desktop option as far as I know.
Android: Bromite PC: Brave
For desktop I use Ungoogled Chromium portable as a secondary browser, and DDG browser on Android
