Can anyone suggest an alternative to Vivaldi, Firefox or Chrome as a functioning browser? I've been using Vivaldi for work, but tonight I can't open Microsoft Outlook on it (I can however open it on Firefox). Their problem reporting procedure is an unworkable waste of time. Europe needs to lift its game on browsers and related things if it wants to compete with the US.

What (fast) browser do you recommend for me working on a PC with Windows?

Context: I've finally given up on Firefox grinding everything to a halt after it's been running for 15 minutes.

No, it could not.

Take the tech bros cock out of your mouth and think again....

I PUSHED THE BUTTON!!!

I use Linux a lot at work and I've been dabbling with Linux at home for various projects but my main systems have remained on Windows. Today, I finally blasted one of laptops to Kubuntu so I experiment more.

With the install complete, the real fun begins. I need to pick a new browser (Firefox is the default) and start doing some installs for running my 3D printer and trying out gaming with it.

I might regret this, but I am open to suggestions.

Vivaldi browser pains vol.2:
ALT+D does not work for focusing address bar... which you need to do as it starts without a focus (!) in address bar. #browsers #vivaldi #ux #ui #bugs #web #webdev #linux

BROWSER EXTENSIONS TURN NEARLY 1 MILLION BROWSERS INTO WEBSITE-SCRAPING BOTS

Extensions load unknown sites into invisible Windows. What could go wrong?

The 245 extensions, available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, have racked up nearly 909,000 downloads, The common thread among all of them: They incorporate MellowTel-js, an open source JavaScript library that allows developers to monetize their extensions

See, this is what happens when you keep setting the AI & Search Assistant to ON whenever I open up my browser on a new day.
Let's see if Mojeek is any good as a search engine. I'm open to suggestions as it's always good to have options to explore.

Now, just need a new browser app for my phone. Any suggestions? Preferably without AI or at least something that honours user settings.

I have already said the next computer won't be running anything MicroSoft, but I'd like to stop using the Edge browser. I'm sure someone's already asked this, but what browsers can anyone recommend for an elderly Windows laptop?

I've stopped using Firefox since the drama a while back... Using #ZenBrowser and #LibreWolf mainly on macOS and on #Android, #Ironfox and #Cromite (as an alt browser). But I'm having quite a lot of website functionality problems when using Ironfox. Can't create accounts, forms not working, can't use #webauthn, pages not loading correctly, checkouts or shopping sites broken, etc. I guess I need to have #Firefox still installed... It's annoying. What's your workaround? #browsers #androidbrowser

Some good ideas from commenter Person McPersonface:

> "Web #browsers should use colors and UI elements in the address bar and when hovering over links to help the user parse URLs. Show what’s the TLD, what’s the main domain, what’s the subdomains, etc. Be clear about whether you have visited this site before or not, and don’t leave it up to the CSS. Be clear about whether you have this domain in your bookmarks or not. The URL should be right in your face when hovering over a link, not down in a corner in small type. Show a big warning when the displayed URL and actual URL don’t match."

These are things it would be nice to see #Firefox tackling instead of, you know, forcing AI down the throats of a user base that despises it.

> "Email clients should never hide email addresses. Show them, help the user parse them like the URLs in browsers. As mentioned, show the user when they have never received mail from an address before. Hint when sender name and email matches poorly."

Also sounds very doable.
