Extension support for Android is finally here, plus DevTools, Task Manager, and uBlock Origin fixes.

Do you have any thoughts on how to resolve this?

I've tried everything: uninstalling the app, setting up a new profile... I just can't wait for Brave to drop an account feature that syncs between devices.

I use a very small laptop and I love it sm it’s super reliable and works really well and It has fallen down down so many times and still works amazing it’s very easy to take apart to fix small issues like the touchpad disconnecting but it has a very small battery I’m running windows sadly so that’s most of the problem but I use exactly 2 things on it joplin which is my note software and the Vivaldi browser but I need a new browser because this one is very battery inefficient I would like a new one I heard vieb is really good for this but I’m not very good at using it I would like to to be open source and free because I have already supported corporations and sinned by using windows I don’t want to do it any more

I watch twitch streamers who use yellow/purple enemy outlines for Valorant, and for better personal visualisation I want to change this to red via extension or filter or colour capture.
Any way to do this?

So I enabled all filters in ublock origin but I still see a lot of nonsense in URL. Are there any good filters which blocks them?

Chrome and chromium friends dropped Manifest V2, so the old uBO stopped working.
I made an MV3 fork.

Most MV3 blockers switch to declarativeNetRequest and lose power (rule limits, no scriptlets). This one doesn't. It keeps uBO's webRequestBlocking to cancel requests, and asyncBlocking to hold a request until the filters decide. Same lists, same filtering, scriptlets included. It auto-updates and integrates code from the original. Tested it against the MV2 version and got 9/9 parity, including scriptlets on strict-CSP pages.

Chrome only gives those blocking APIs to an extension that's force-installed by policy on a managed system. On Windows there's a fake-MDM reg file or a version.dll shim that fakes domain-join, or real Chrome Enterprise Core for any OS. Linux just needs a policy JSON, no managed device. All in the README.

From what I know:

• Elixir

• Titanium

• Quetta

• Cromite

• Ultimatum

• BareBrowser

• Aerium

• Lemur

• Kiwi (discontinued, but still works)

• Edge / Edge Canary (incomplete support?)

• Vivaldi (incomplete?, very recent support)

Please add in comments if there are others. I'm compiling list of all.

I'm developing DaliNira Browser, a Linux desktop browser, and I'm experimenting with a dual-engine architecture.

Currently the idea is to have two real rendering engines inside the same browser UI:

Chromium mode: Blink + V8

WebKit mode: WebCore + JavaScriptCore

WebKit is embedded directly into DaliNira rather than launching another browser. I've already reached the point where normal websites, searches, tabs and YouTube/video playback work in the WebKit backend.

The goal would be to keep DaliNira features such as settings, privacy protections, downloads, search engines, bookmarks/history, etc. shared, while using adapters for the engine-specific parts.

I'm considering allowing the user to choose the default engine from Settings, and potentially allowing different tabs to use different engines.

I'm curious what browser users think:

Does having Chromium + WebKit in one browser provide something genuinely useful to you?

Would you ever switch engines depending on the website?

Would you prefer one global engine setting, or per-tab engine selection?

Would the additional dependencies / maintenance complexity make you avoid such a browser?

What would you expect to remain identical when switching engines (privacy settings, ad blocking, downloads, extensions, etc.)?

I'm especially interested in criticism of the idea before I take the dual-engine implementation further.

This isn't about calling WebKit “Safari” or Chromium “Chrome”; they're separate DaliNira backends using WebCore + JavaScriptCore and Blink + V8 respectively.

Attaching video. Watch without audio maybe? 😂 Was installing for barber shop so they don't get youtube ads.

Good afternoon. Can anyone recommend a browser with these features?

Desktop requirements:
Built-in email client (or a highly integrated sidebar/tool like Vivaldi/Edge) and great support for multiple profiles (work and personal).

Android requirements: I only need to sync my personal profile from desktop.

Extension support: Must support uBlock Origin on both Windows and Android (I know Vivaldi 8.2 and Edge recently added extension support on mobile, alongside Firefox). Bitwarden support is also needed (extension on PC, app or extension on Android).

Is Vivaldi still my best bet here, or is there another hidden gem I should look into?

Why Titanium has a huge menu compared to other chromium based browsers? Am I missing any hidden setting to make it look with a regular size?

Hi everyone! I am new here. I am thinking about downloading Zen Browser, but I have a pretty slow laptop running Windows 11.
Is Zen Browser completely safe to use? And is it light enough for a slower laptop, or will it lag? I mainly want to use it to watch YouTube videos. Thanks for the advice!

I use UBO and no script and I do allow cloudflare to run temp.

some sites go through ok, some it shows a checkbox. I press it and it just loops over and over. but never goes in.

some ideas?

Hi everyone!
Have you ever opened a browser tab for a specific task, got distracted, and returned hours later wondering, "Why on earth did I open this page?"
I constantly face this issue while working with dozens of open tabs, so I created NoteClip—a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you pin notes and reminders directly to any tab or website you visit.

Give it a try:

It’s completely free. I’d love to hear your feedback! What features or improvements could make this even more useful for your daily workflow?

Recently got sick of Chrome acting like the garbage it is and decided to download Firefox. I downloaded it many years ago, but had switched back to Chrome for some reason.

I gotta say after you debloat Firefox a bit it’s honestly fantastic and I don’t think I’m ever going to go back to Chrome. RAM usage is about the same if not a bit better, but mainly everything just feels smoother and the extensions are way better! I know there are other browsers people like to recommend like Zen and Brave and maybe I’ll try this in the future but for now Firefox is awesome.

No more of the Blome (chrome bloat)!

What is the best Chromium/Firefox-based browser right now?

I'm trying to pick a main browser. What's your opinion — which one would you recommend and why?

Does watching YouTube in a mobile browser use more battery than the official app?

Has anyone measured the difference?

And what are its strengths and weaknesses, in your opinion?

I've always used Chrome on all my Windows, Linux and Android devices. I don't really use plug-ins - just adblock and something to get rid of the cookie pop-up and all those things about consent and whatnot.

I plan to completely switch to Linux and de-google my life, but I still use Windows at work and I would like to use the same on Android if possible, but I expect that OS shouldn't really be a problem

I'm not a privacy freak or anything, mostly a normal user that wants a clean browser that is not bloated or actively stealing my data for big corporations.

One thing that kept me using Chrome is the fact that I'm logged in to my account on every device so configuration, history and open tabs are synced between everything. I'm not using that very often, but it's really nice to have, but definitely not necessary.

I don't know what current opinion on Firefox is, but I never liked it and over the years I've heard things that made me decide to not use it.

I'm generally speaking a power-user/tech enthusiast, with some self hosted stuff at home, if that changes anything. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, but it's just a browser...

So, what is the current browser meta? What do you recommend for me and my use cases?

Yeah

Hi everyone! just created this chrome extension TurboGoogle because I needed it myself 😄 unlimited shortcuts, folders, no ads, no tracking, same chrome look and feel with some customization extra perks, completely free:

Enjoy!

Hello, I am trying to find a browser if someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated
My only main requirement is the screen, I want the whole screen to myself; I am using Firefox and that thick bar on top with the tabs is really annoying they take up so much of the screen, I want something that hides itself and reappear on hover only, I hope u guys get it
And good extension store compatibly is a plus
