Eco Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I used Opera. Very secure web browser which comes with a VPN. Not as quick as Chrome, but uses a lot less memory so while I I have a lot of Google products, I chose to not use Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to, Google already has that information and know everything about you. Bet you use the incognito function for your porn habits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted September 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 16, 2020 Mostly Chrome with uBlock Origin + uBlock Origin extra for content blocking, simply as I need the fastest browser for work and after trying numerous others, nothing comes close to it in terms of pure speed and multitab browsing.

Chrome speed is second to none, but the amount of processing it consumed drove me up the wall. I rather enjoy Opera though, similar design, more private, and pretty quick.

Didn't like it when I tried it a few years back, felt way too slow for my liking. It's owned by a Chinese company now, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 16, 2020 Daily drivers in order Chrome Microsoft Edge I'd drop Safari in there when I switch over to the Mac but its such a torrid browser I am surprised it scores as high as it does on ACID/Compatibility tests. Can't really escape opening them all at some point every week for work and I like Opera but I couldn't use it as a daily driver just because of my extension love in Chrome and how useful it is for work.

I've been trying to move away from Chrome, but could never really enjoy the lack of speed with Firefox, and Opera seem like a good company.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 16, 2020 @Eco you ever try the Tor Browser? Its good if you want secure lines but does it ever not trust anything and you have to then make it do all kinds of things to get even simple sites to load.

While security is obviously nice, I need speed and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserker Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Firefox, used to use Opera for a lot of years and i liked but been using Firefox for a long time, use Chrome as a second browser but i don't like it at all, it's such a resourse hog and i sure as hell never noticed the supreme speed many of you mention, Firefox and Opera were always fast and perfect for me, never noticed Chrome to be faster, quite the contrary as it uses a lot of resources.
