I've been a firefox user since 2006 and I've had enough with the recent updates breaking everything.
Of all the browsers I've checked the only ones that convinced me were Chromium and Palemoon.
Which one should I choose? Do you recommed any other browser?

What I said here:

Vivaldi.

>recent updates breaking everything
why the fuck would you use anything other than the ESR version?

I've been a Firefox user since Mozilla browser became Phoenix, which then became Firebird which then bacame Firefox. I've never had "updates breaking everything", so I recommend Firefox.

Chromium because it's much faster. The only thing firefox measurably beats it at is maybe a couple hundred MB of RAM usage when there are many tabs open. Chromium is much faster at everything else. You can get un-googled builds if you're worried about privacy.

Is privacy a huge issue in Chromium? why would I need to use and trust a fork?

It definitely sends your search data and URLs you visit to Google. Also if you log in to your Google account on it they save all your history forever.

>It definitely sends your search data and URLs you visit to Google
Do you have any proof to back that up?

Yeah it's right in the settings and Google's privacy policy. You can disable a good bit of it if you want. I don't think incognito mode uses Google instant which would mean all URLs aren't sent to them. I just use Tor if I want to search something securely.

Even if you disable all of it I'm sure through the update system and other parts of it keep a unique identifier for your browser and IP address and send small amounts of data back to Google.

>unique identifier for your browser and IP address
You make it sound as if that was serious information or something
Doesn't literally every page you visit on the internet do the same thing?

>You make it sound as if that was serious information or something
It is if you want to disable it but don't have the option. Botnet should be voluntary.

>implying firefox doesnt do the exact same thing
why do you think google has been the #1 contributor to firefox pretty much since the start

Chromium is pretty comfy.

If updates break everything, then don't update.

What about security.

What about it?

It's an issue either way.

I've been using Chromium on my Xubuntu laptop for a few weeks now. It starts in 2-3 seconds compared to Firefox's 8-12 seconds. Also uses a little over half the CPU load for the same tasks.

Don't even feed @57999524 (You)'s. He's feigning ignorance so he can make an argument about how he for some reason thinks it's a good idea to update his browser, and if a known vulnerability gets exploited, that's just because you visited the wrong website. "Can't actually expect your browser to be secure, if you do you're just retarded. I love broken old shit"

You could try qutebrowser qutebrowser.org/ It is in the default repos of Void Linux and is uses a hosts file based adblocker. It is also very fast. :^)

Otter browser

ESR? Eric Scott Raymond?
