Firefox is the number one alternative if you want to ditch Chrome, and that’s because of its privacy ethos. Firefox is owned by Mozilla, a non-profit, so it doesn’t need to perform tracking to serve you ads.
Nope. Not since they fired Brendan Eich.
The Brave browser is Chromium based so you get the Chrome-like experience but without the trackers—Brave blocks tracking by default.
Yup - I use Brave.

I’ve quit using Google for everything because of their licensing agreements. gmail is horrible when it comes to privacy and selling your info. Does anyone have a good email host to replace the popular email hosts?

So what’s the third browser? The link won’t let me read the rest of the article because of my ad blocker.

I was using Edge and switched its search engine to Qwant.
Edge worked with Qwant for a time and then I was unable to access Qwant.
In response, I went to Chrome, which I now normally use along with Google’s search engine.
Edge now works with Qwant again, after a one-time offer to switch to Bing.

Internet Explorer was my choice because it starts up much faster, but many sites no longer work well with it.

At work i have to use Chrome and edge. At home i use brave on my android, windows workstation and linux mint laptop.
Also have a pi hole but hubs doesn’t like it so i gave him a google dns.

Brave is faster than any browser I’ve tested. By far.

Brave with DuckDuckGo. That’s the way to go.

Brave browser is my absolute favorite. You can opt into the ads and they pay you. I hate ads so I opt out and I’ve saved 19.2 browsing hours just from not watching ads. If you watch movies on a free site like Tubi or You Tube free movies with ads, you skip all the advertising. They let you set DuckDuckGo as at default search engine.

I think Firefox is suspect, but that’s just the feeling I get. I use Brave, but I don’t think it has the add ons I need, like video download.

"Firefox is the number one alternative if you want to ditch Chrome, and that’s because of its privacy ethos. Firefox is owned by Mozilla, a non-profit, so it doesn’t need to perform tracking to serve you ads. " Along with up-to-date browsers like Vivaldi (you can
hack it to get multiple tab rows) and 2 installations of Firefox Quantum portable (so I can also use legacy Firefox as well) and
Waterfox classic (most FF legacy extns work) then I use two profiles of
Firefox ESR 59.
For unlike legacy Firefox ESR 59.9 with Tab Mix Plus and a few other extensions. which enabled more key customization than the whole of Edge, which the below critique is aimed at, other browsers of the engines suffer from missing some or most of the following features that legacy Firefox with extensions provided, such as, :
You cannot make it show multiple tab rows (though besides Vivaldi you can with
Quantum but it takes one [1]of the hacks. And unless the latter is a portable version, it cannot run concurrently with FF ESR since it will basically take it over).
You cannot adjust max or min tab width. And the more you open the thinner they get, and all look the same. (except the active tab has an close
You cannot close a non-active tab by just placing your cursor on it the top right
to get a X to click on (so unless you activate it, you need to R. click on it and hit close tab).
You cannot enable different colored tabs as with the legacy Colorful Tabs extension (NOT the one in Quantum).
You cannot choose to open links in other installed browsers via right click.
You cannot toggle btwn the most recently accessed tabs using the Ctrl+Tab switch (and its Alt+Tab alternative messes up switching btwn applications).
Edge has a very poor spell checker and the dictionary is hard to find in the drive even if you could edit it (as you can with that of Firefox) [Edit: Grammar and Spell Checker is much better than the default Edge one. Also for Chrome and Vivaldi] .
You cannot create more than one profile (as far as i know).
I know no extension that saves your text box posts such as this, like the Lazarus legacy FF extension did/does. [Edit:Typio Form Recovery. Also for Chrome and Vivaldi
MS does not make it easy to set another browser as the default one for all html documents and links (details too long for here).
There is no option to keep the Find/Search bar open across tabs (handy in searches), meaning you need to do the search new for every tab.
There is no option via right click on a tab to choose “Copy link.”
Since MS writes the software for Windows, than it ought to be able to create a real "utility truck" browser - and which I am sure would become a classic for "power users" - rather than just another minimalist Chrome clone.
However, although using the same engine as Chrome Vivaldi has more options,

Can anyone recommend a good web design program?
I had been using Dreamweaver 8 until a few years ago, when it developed a bug I couldn't fix. Since then I've been using Microsoft Expression Web 4.
I don't want a cloud based, or subscription based program. I prefer to own it. One with good WYSIWYG features, a split screen (Design and Code views), and a way to turn off CSS.
