what's the best web browser and why is it Opera?

It's like Chrome but smoother, faster and with less botnet.

but it fucks up website formatting regularly

>propietary
No.
Best browser = GNU icecat

safari

False.
lmao

For freedom gnu icecat is the best.

Freedom > funtionality

Fuck opera

>with less botnet.

less google botnet, more chink botnet

I like Opera, but I'm not sure if it's the best.
Funnily enough I have problems only with Sup Forums and nothing else.

It's not the best but it's the least worst. There's no good browser left on desktop.

Input field is adjustable, you probably expanded it somehow.

The only ones who care about freedom are pirates

i can't fucking stands firefox anymore.
it reached 1 GB with 4 tabs open, it freezes for 5 seconds every minute, it has insane HDD traffic for some unkown reason.

is there a trick to make it run smoothly or should i switch to a botnet? i already don't have any plugin but adblocker and flash.

Botnet uses way more RAM. But it's faster and doesn't slow down when you open more tabs.

What are the pros and cons on Opera? What advantages does it have over chrome?

>it's the least worst
So, by definition, is the best.

OP is African.

Just use Chromium.

But it's still shitty.

renders fine here my friend

>2017
>still having this debate
This has been answered numerous times

Still the best though.

Anyone tried Vivaldi?

I dropped FF as soon as I found out they were discontinuing support for XUL. The add-ons were the only thing Firefox had going for itself.

Pass, i'll stick to FF

Yes, it looks nice and behaves well. To me it felt lighter than chrome, but still took his time. The only browser I tried and felt immediate is iridium.

I swapped to it from opera, not too bad, but opera was better on everything bt style and customization.

So you're the other guy using opera. Glad to finally meet ya.

What's that blue stuff over "renders fin" ?

So you switched to another browser with even LESS powerful extensions.
Makes sense user.
