Ask HN: What browser do y'all use?
An age-old question. I've been testing out various browsers but haven't found one that truly satisfies me. Any recommendations?
- muzani 2y agoDuckDuckGo. Very performant, maybe because of the tracker blocking.
- epirogov 2y agoI read HN content from Falkon Browser.
- curtisblaine 2y agoBrave.
- ternary-search 2y agoFirefox
- LUmBULtERA 2y agoSafari personal. Edge for work.
- dotcoma 2y agoIridium. Great if you want a privacy-respecting Chromium but seldom updated.
- joefarish 2y agoSafari purely because of the integration with Apple Passwords / Mail / iMessage
- Ocerge 2y agoChrome at home, Edge at work. I should probably think more about it, but I really don't. I use 1Password for everything and the only feature I lean on in any browser is bookmarks.
- rocketpastsix 2y agoArc at work, Safari at home.
- gfkclzhzo 2y agoAndroid - Fennec Desktop - Icecat
- floxy 2y agoI try to Tor at home when I can. For everything else, generally Firefox.
- slater 2y agoFirefox.
- pancsta 2y agoSimple.
- bitpush 2y agoChrome

- locusofself 2y agoSince I work at MSFT, I use Edge on my work computer. My personal computer I use Chrome. I like to keep my bookmarks and browsing history separate between work and personal. I use some of the same extensions (Bitwarden being the most important, and Freedom for blocking social media and other timewasters, until 8pm each day).
- paulcole 2y agoSafari for everything personal. Chrome for work.
- wruza 2y agoFirefox, with lots of tweaks. Out of box it is as dumb as chrome. After tweaks it’s half as dumb, but bearable. My “truly satisfies” is in vivaldi / presto opera sector. I switched to avoid sudden dead end due to mv3.
- sexymaniac 2y agoCan you share your couple of tweaks?
- Imustaskforhelp 2y agoHad been using ungoogled chromium but now I use zen browser. There was an issue with firefox based browsers but removing the cache fixed it. Zen is lovely
- throwaway519 2y agoComputer: Firefox and occasional Ungoogled Chromium. Firefox for the plugins and standards. Mobile: Fennec, IronFox (Mull discontinued), Bromite, Ungoogled Chromium. I much prefer tab management in Fennec/Firefox variants.
