 I am unhappy with my firefox. shill my your favorite browser these days.  
 Arc  
 I'd love for them to make a Linux port 
 does the Windows one work well? 
 Yes, it does! 
 I looked at arc, but having to create an account and sign in just to use a browser feels really weird. 

Is there a way to skip that? 
 DATA is the newoil, Browser 
 Brave. Disable the wallet, maximize privacy settings. 
 Best search engine is kagi.com (lightning pamemt possible. They have Orion browser (https://kagi.com/orion/) - however I haven‘t yet used it yet. Perhaps worth a try… 
 I've tried that again in the last days, but seems quite some pages (GitHub) causes a high memory usage. so I look for something else.  
 I am one of 3 people in the world that uses Vivaldi because it syncs nicely between android and linux and i could put the url bar down below... 
 cool, so I already know 2 of them. :) I have it also installed, never used it though.  
 Yeah they have a really dumb stance regarding bitcoin sadly. Good browser though

 meh, read the headline and closed the page...  
 i just run plain chromium now

firefox has DRM in it that you can't disable and funny enough neither does librewolf or any of the other "privacy" variants of firefox, which is disgusting, because DRM literally takes over your access to the bitmaps of your entire screen when a DRM enabled object is loaded

brave is just too bloated with crap, and most of what is important is in the non-google form of the browser 
 Opera because it copes with my lazy tab habits best and works with chrome extensions, the sync is crap though 
 Brave browser 
 LibreWolf or Tor Browser 
 I run four browsers, each for different purposes (i.e. browser isolation strategy).

Brave
Chrome
Chromium
Firefox

Each has pros and cons, but if I had to recommend only one it's be Brave right now. 
 The shitcoin they attached to it just turned me off. Maybe I should give it another try 
 Each has pros / cons...and while I don't use the Brave wallet, I like the fact that it's available...

Even if people don't use it, people do see it and maybe it then becomes thier first step in the journey....

All good.... 
 Brave in private mode always unless I don't want my IP vented and use TOR. 
 I've had good luck with the DuckDuckGo browser on both Android and Mac. 

I think it's built-in ad blocker works pretty well, and I like being able to erase all my cookies and whatnot and start fresh with just a single click. 
 Forked Brave, Shitcoins removed, Bitcoin wallet added, Lightning wallet added, Nostr NIP-07 signer added, Highlighter added. This sounds like a fun project for Alby 😉  
 Brave without b.a.t what a good idea, considering all shit coin hating bitcoin maxis just ignored that it was there lmfao 
 i used to just send my BAT Shitcoins to Gemini and swap for Bitcoin 😉  
 Nothing wrong with that in my eyes 
 Oh! Can you share it if it's forked and ready? 
 You're was more of a wishlist 🥹
