What is the fastest and most secure browser if I'm using Windows?
pic related, none of these are an option Firefox has SJW problems and is following in Chrome's footsteps as far as being a botnet goes it's pretty much the same with Opera
>secure >using windows Maybe a VM browser appliance

What?

i dont know why you guys always bitch about the mozilla sjws. its not gonna affect the browser itself at all if they remove some triggerwords from the codebase. altho i do agree that its worthless time wasting. and if we forget all this sjw stuff, the devs are actually nice, and they atleast try to sometimes listen to the community. and mozilla is not the only company getting infected with sjws, the same things happening at debian and chromium, for instance.
so basically firefox still does the trick for me, and i think people in general should use it more, mostly because we dont want another total browser monopoly happening.
if youre concerned about firefox privacy, you should maybe look into these: aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=firefox-esr-privacy github.com/pyllyukko/user.js the upper one is a privacy patch for the esr realease, and the second one is just a privacy conscious user.js template. if you are on windows and willing to stay there, you should at least study the user.js and flip some settings at about:config
but if you insist on using a chrom* browser, im not saying chromium is a bad choise either. just warning ya the devs are even more shit than at mozilla, if you have a problem and ask them theyll just say sumting like "deal with it lolol". if you are interested in chromium and privacy, you should take a look at the inox-patch: github.com/gcarq/inox-patchset and the ungoogled-patch: github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/tree/master/patches/ungoogled-chromium
if you want a graphical browser, you should mainly take your choise between these two browsers, as all the other ones currently under active developement (with a few exceptions, which are shit) are just deriatives of firefox or chromium. basically read into both of them real well and think about which one suits your needs better.
what in the fuck? the font rendering is great but everything else is just weird as all fuck
good god

>hes talking about the browser, called links Oh, textbrowsers aren't really my thing Also, I wish I could use something like Midori or QupZilla, but WebKit browsers seem to not work on Windows at all everything webkit crashes on startup
Christian Kelly
I've had this problem as well. The crashes make Midori unusable. Wish there was some kind of fix for that.
Aaron Jones
Vivaldi is kinda cool, and its as secure as Chromium
Jason Scott
I think it has potential, but there are lots of issues with the layout. The font-rendering reminds me a lot of Safari.
Carter Carter
It's also slow and clunky as shit, closing a tab makes it freeze for a good few seconds its tab system should be a lot more customizable, it's really weird
The website being completely in Japanese doesn't leave me very hopeful in terms of improvement
Hunter Jones
>and its as secure as Chromium so, not at all?
Jace Long
i have a question. Is there any way to make images/videos/flash load on click how it was in the old opera in firefox? Would be best on click since its for a tech illiterate who has a 20GB internet limit, but other opinions are welcome. Sorry but noscript is not an option since tech illiterate.
Landon Turner
You can enable Flash click to play in the plugins section. There's an about:config setting that stops videos autoplaying.

Evan Cook
calm your Sup Forums for a second here
Justin Gonzalez
Vivaldi is based on Chromium, but it doesn't means is (in)secure as Chromium.
Jackson Gomez
Edge is the fastest. Palemoon w/NoScript is the most secure.
Jeremiah King
read the wiki you disabled person.
Bentley Harris
The Wiki doesn't contain everything and is out of date
Tyler Taylor
what about Waterfox?

Grayson Richardson
Opera and firefox. Opera isn't a botnet
Julian Johnson
probably Edge, it's really extremely fast, and it has fuck-all market share so it probably has little security issues either.

Kayden Reyes
Yea man, those separate processes and extension sandboxing sure sucks
Good thing the purple haired shemales at Mozilla didn't buy into this whole 'security' fad
Jose Perez
You can disable that, have you ever opened opera?
Hunter Carter
yeah the iridium browser looks pretty nice, op should consider that too if he doesnt want to bother with all the patches i just dont like the idea any other unnecessary 3rd parties being involved in my browsers
but in reality im just autistic
Levi Hernandez
Tbqh, opera is good again, meanwhile chrome and Firefox continue to get worse, opera keeps getting better.
Nathaniel Wilson
Define better
Isn't Opera a chromium reskin with bundled add ons?
Joseph Johnson
yep it is. this is one of those huge boners Sup Forums has over a piece of software that last for only a couple of weeks. remember back when vivaldi was new and shiny? Sup Forums was all fuckin over it. and now if someone posts scrot with vivaldi he gets shit poured on him. mark my words this is one of those cases again.
Leo Rodriguez
It's a better chrome/chromium. Based opera doing it again.
Brody Bennett
Sup Forums was always talking shit about opera, but I honestly like it because it isn't as bloated as chrome.
Zachary Stewart
Anyone use Cyberfox? So far, my favorite flavor of Firefox. Tried Iridium, but I didn't like the way the font worked out. Also tearing when I scroll.
I'd been using Pale Moon, but OneeChan stopped working with it for some reason. Also YouTube videos would crash.
Gavin Foster
Just use Chrome. You're using Windows, so you already don't care if you're a part of a botnet.
Gavin Kelly
Install gentoo Use Icecat with uMatrix, uBlock and no Flash.
Levi Jones
I've used the PaleMoon for couple years now. It's a Firefox derivate that focuses on performance and personal security, and supports most FF addons and stuff. Ended up giving it a shot after FF started having performance issues, and lol-Chrome is just a botnet.
It's been nice so far. Using uBlock as an ad-blocker, Hide Caption TitleBar Plus to make the GUI slimmer & thus see more of the pages themselves (very handy especially on 768p laptops), and some addon that allows using the old Flash player on YT and such, because the new HTML player restricts it to 720p otherwise.
Lucas Perry
>You're using Windows, so you already don't care if you're a part of a botnet. Way to be an apologist / hill for MS, Billy. Sorry, but I got an non-updated W7 with all updates disabled, and most outgoing traffic blocked via firewall.
Ryder Morris
>and most outgoing traffic blocked via firewall Isn't this technically the perfect solution to most "muh botnet" problems?
What firewall do you use?
Eli Cook
If you're gonna be autistic, educate yourself about browser fingerprinting, and realize that there is currently no browser that is private or secure.
Grayson Flores
Iridium browser is your best bet for security. It has the extreme measures that chromium put into their browser while at the same time gutting all the botnet features of google's spin of it. The only downside is that they build based off of a 2 release delay so you'll not get the latest version of chromium.
