Yeah, Brave is mucho fast, flexible, true open source, no spyware and defeats trackers, blocks ads, saves bandwidth and time.

Bookmarked. I’m surprise my browser, Brave, wasn’t mentioned. Nor Tor.

Neither do what users of them think they do. There is no privacy and you should have no expectation of it.

This list is for lightweights.

Tor is not mentioned. Neither is Brave, which has a Tor option.

I use Firefox on my home pc after modifying it.
Install the New Tab Override and uBlock Origin and Easy Screenshot apps.

Modify Firefox look.

Another one is: Vivaldi which blocks ads and is fast.

Their phone app is better then Firefox’s.
Otherwise I use Chrome on the android phone.

I mostly use Brave, but I also like Iridium. Chrome is what I use for Duolingo since I get emails from that site. I found Opera didn’t work well with many sites.

One of my financial institutions works ONLY with MS Edge.

Their credibility took a hit from me when they called Edge “private and secure”. Same with calling Mozilla “private”.

Well, it is - only you and Bill Gates can see what you are browsing. :)

Nice joke list.

Brave has built-in ad blocking. That’s all I needed to know to switch. Everything else is a bonus.

No mention of Brave.....and, I hate to admit it but I have never heard of Edge. LOL!
Assume it’s a MS product.

Windows, macOS, Android, iOS

Most of the browsers that have the above compatibility, are also compatible with Linux/Ubuntu. FF, SeaMonkey, Opera etc.

All decent browsers though Pale Moon is different than most. I have Chromium(pre google Chrome) installed but never use it. I run FF Dev edition, Brave and Waterfox every day(I like tabs, lots of tabs) and Falkon(linux only) occasionally.

This list comes across as a sort of “We polled 100 people about who they would want to be President, and their selections were Biden, Hillary, Bernie, and Obama...our poll was conducted by Dominion.”

Not even a mention of Brave. Why not?

Yeah, I stopped reading the article when I realized they completely ignored Linux. WTF.

Even a Microsoft fanboi journalist isn't THAT stupid.

Browsers (but where's Linux?) ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to Red Badger for the ping!

I’d like to add my vote for the Brave browser. It’s good for opening news web sites or other sites you suspect to be heavily laden with ad content and God knows what else.

Very suspicious of any source that lists Microsoft and Google as numbers 1 and 2.

A few months ago, I changed from Waterfox to Opera - a MUCH better experience especially on memory usage.

If Brave is not there it is a pay to play list.
