Which open-source web browser do you use on mobile?
- orschiro 8y agoI'm looking for something lightweight, yet capable of displaying the majority of websites correctly. Any recommendations?
- navjack27 8y agoDo benchmarks for yourself. I've done this and on my pixel 2. • Google Chrome 66.0.3359.82 (Blink) • Google Chrome Canary 66.0.3434.0 (Blink) • Mozilla Firefox 60.0 (Gecko) • Mozilla Firefox Nightly 62.0 (Gecko) • Waterfox 56.0 (Gecko) • Opera 46.1.2246.127339 (Blink) • Opera Beta 46.2.2246.127570 (Blink) • Brave 66.0.3359.158 (Blink) • Samsung Internet 6.4 (Blink) • Samsung Internet Beta 7.2 (Blink) • Microsoft Edge 65.0.3325.109 (Blink) I'm not going to post the giant table of results but Chrome has the most performance.
- orschiro 8y agoThanks! That actually confirms my brief tests where I experienced Chrome to run most smoothly on my Moto G2.
- detaro 8y agoFirefox.
- megasquid 8y agoFirefox also.
- stephenr 8y agoHow open source? Afaik only Edge is fully closed - the others all have an open source engine.
- orschiro 8y agoI didn't know that. Can you mention a few that come to your mind?
- stephenr 8y agoGecko (Firefox) WebKit(safari) and Blink (chrome) are all open source and essentially have the lions share of web usage between them (both engines and browsers). I’m not even aware of any other remaining rendering engines still active besides whatever replaced Trident (msie) when it became Edge.

- orschiro 8y agoCan Firefox focus remember logins like on Hacker News, for instance?
