Suggestions for Good Web Browsers

[ducttape45]

Good afternoon Freepers. This is a post to ask what I hope is a simple question. What do you all recommend for use as a web browser?

The reason I ask this question is because today I was trying to update my Mozilla-ish browser called Palemoon. It's actually a Goanna fork of Mozilla so it's not really based on their programming code anymore, that I'm aware of. In the process of my task, I noticed that it wasn't playing well with a few secure websites, like ID.me, myPay, etc.

I use Brave as my primary browser, and I also have Chromium. The Chromium is there only as a repository of URLs I no longer use but that I like to keep on back up, just in case. Of course Edge is there only because W10 puts it there. I also have the aforementioned Palemoon because I still want, and like, to have a Mozilla-ish type web browser. It does somethings rather well, but for the most part it's sluggish, and as I mentioned, it doesn't do well with some secure websites.

Many web browsers have come and gone. The list on Wikipedia is very long with now defunct browsers. I used to use Maxthon but dropped that years ago. I also used Safari when it was available for Windows systems. I really liked that one but Apple dropped support for Windows back in 2012. I miss Netscape Navigator (yeah, I'm really dating myself!), but I won't use Firefox after what they did to folks on their board who contributed to conservative causes.

So, your thoughts are welcomed. Thank you.

I would like to know how to modify Firefox to put tabs where they belong: Beneath the menu and address bar. For all the fancy add-ons and extensions, Firefox refuses to put tabs below the toolbars. If there is an easy setting in about:config I’ve never found it.

You use “Multirow-Patcher-Quantum-Nox-Installer-Windows”

Match what you see in the screenshot above.
I have mine set to: Tabs below URL bar

If you have Firefox open at the time you do the patch then close it and re-open.

Found under the Assets heading:
Multirow-Patcher-Quantum-Nox-Installer-Windows-1.8.13.exe 8.26 MB
