Chrome just killed Manifest V2, and with it, adblock as you know it. So I tested and ranked 13 browsers (Firefox, Brave, Helium, Zen, and more) by usability, privacy, and whether they still let you block ads.

Wispr Flow is faster and more efficient than any other built-in dictation tool.

Firefox doesn’t hide telemetry. It literally asked me at the first usage if I want to share my telemetry data, and it told me that more options are available in the settings. It also told ne about the AI and offered to turn it off with one click.

If anything, Firefox is the only widely commercial browser that actually let's you tweak it fully, so that's why I'm going to keep supporting it even if I have to keep shutting down telemetry and AI settings

you really dunked on firefox, its a solid browser

Opera being in the same tier as FireFox doesnt seem real to me, in my opinion Opera shouldve gotten D tier.

Hold up: firefox & its friends are SSS.

@BouldozeR92 6 hours ago

I feel firefox deserves B tier not C. All the negatives you listed can be turned off unlike brave's baked in crypto stuff

@phydeauxfilms9901 7 hours ago

11:07 Gotta say, I lol-ed at the firefox logo patting the Floorp logo on the head in the tier list. So goofy, and I'm here for it.

@NamerGaming 6 hours ago (edited)

Firefox only being 1 tier higher than Chrome makes this list a joke. dont get me started on Edge being on that tier as well...

@Chalk_Ra 6 hours ago

So Firefox gets knocked down all the way to C because you have to change a few default settings? Interesting.

Another difference between Waterfox and LibreWolf (And Zen too)
Waterfox can play DRM protected stuff on all OS, while the other 2 can only do that on Linux, since for Windows and macOS it requires a Wivedine license from, you guessed it, Google.
I don't know about Floorp since I've never used it, but I'm guessing it falls alongside LibreWolf and Zen

Zen completely revolutionized my workflow. The user experience is unmatched IMO. Using anything else feels like stepping back in time.

Helium is faster, WAY faster than Firefox-based Zen Browser, FYI

@shakymctwitch 5 hours ago

Firefox is at worst B, best A. Not perfect, but as close to the hero we need. Been using it since day 1 and it's the best experience of all of them, especially over the course of 20+ years. You're just wrong on this one.

@shauryashrivastava8965 8 hours ago

BRAVE enough to melt away from CHROME. Worth it.

@C_C_SEA 7 hours ago

macOS folks with paid streaming services may want to consider Helium’s and Zen’s lack of Widevine DRM support, which can prevent protected video content from playing altogether.

Brave allows you turn off your phone screen while playing YouTube in the background (great for listening to podcasts before falling asleep in bed). I have tried to quit Brave but that feature keeps me coming back
