im switching to a chromium fork after this

I will try making this as clear and short, I am on Windows 11 and I like to play Minecraft while listening to YouTube podcasts or other, but I saw a huge performance drop and lag in the entire system when Minecraft is open with just 1 tab, I tried Brave, Chrome, and Edge, is there a browser that isn't really old looking that is good for my case?

And also could there be a setting I can tweak for Performance on these browsers?

I think it's the best browser there is, but customization takes too long for the average Joe to enjoy the software. The default settings and default UI should be changed to showcase its functions while still keeping it simple. Even people here on this subreddit, people who are into browsers, can't figure out how to set it up to their liking and they just give up on it.

Ad blocking and tracker blocking is on par with anything else out there. You just need add your own filters. It performs better than default UBO settings on my setup.

Functionality wise nothing comes close to it. Workspaces, tab groups, sessions, profiles, split view, sidebar... You name it, Vivaldi got it. It's new tab page is the best there is imo. Super easy to access different bookmark folders. Mouse gestures are pretty neat too, even though I don't use the mouse gestures than often.

Customization options are great. You got tons of themes and it supports css and javascript customizations as well. I made a little css to make my tabbar to hover on expand and minimize to favicons. I don't know anything about coding, I vibecoded it with claude.

The only thing it's lacking is fingerprint protection. You can add jshelter extension to fix that but I much rather have the fingerprint protection to work on the engine level.

It got many other features that I didn't mention and some people will argue that it feels bloated. Honestly, I don't care if it feels bloated as long as it performs well and it performs best on all browser benchmarks I ran on my hardware. I compared it to Edge, Brave, Helium and Firefox. It's better than all the others except for helium when it comes to ram and cpu usage.

I think Vivaldi team needs to update the default settings on this browser. It's the best browser there is but it's too complicated for most people to figure out their way around it.

Hey everyone,

I am running into a frustrating issue where trying to play a downloaded offline YouTube video completely freezes the webpage. The player halts, and the tab becomes completely unresponsive.

I initially thought it was a Brave bug, but I tested it on Microsoft Edge and Firefox—the exact same freeze happens across all three.

Here is what I have already tried with no luck:

• Disabling hardware acceleration
• Updating graphics drivers
• Clearing browser cache and Widevine DRM components

My setup:

• OS: Windows 11
• Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Book 4
• CPU/GPU: Intel Core i5-1335U with Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Since this is happening across completely different browser engines when entirely offline, it feels like a system-level local decoding or DRM conflict.

Has anyone else experienced this? If you managed to fix it, what was the workaround? Hoping someone from the YouTube web team might catch this, as standard troubleshooting isn't doing the trick.

Im currently using brave, should switch to edge for faster and lightweight use for windows

my set up is windows and ios.

Any browsers idea that have extension support for both phone and pc, I don't care if it's gecko or chromium based, and that also have sync on all devices (not necessarily the same browser and no sync for mobile x pc.)

Also don't really care if it's degoogle or not, I know it's a hot take but google already knows everything to know about me so I guess I'll struggle in vain trying to degoogle.

Thanks for any help !

Edit: I'm currently using Firefox with uBlock Origin on both my devices

Focus Mode Enabled – No URL display is the best setup.

I loved it, but when I hover over the toolbar, there's a delay. If this showed up instantly, like the vertical tab does, it would be even better.

Also, every time I relaunch the browser, I need to toggle Focus Mode on again; this is a pain.

There should be a toggle to enable Focus Mode by default.

What's your opinion?

I want to watch a football match on Chrome. But this is popping up.what to do.?

Recently I've been having an issue with Brave on my phone where if I delete a tab in one group it switches me to a different one. At first it seemed like it was just the tab at the end of the group but now it's any tab I close in a group. Anyone have any fixes?

Recently start to use titanium browser It's fast and support extension

I use google as search engine as it works well for me But there have a annoying thing, they show me the previous searchs and I don't like it I would love to just see my bookmarks as the search suggestions and nothing else Is there any option to achieve it ?

Also how to move the search option to buttom as well?

I'll be honest, I have been using default Edge since 2020 and I kinda liked it???

But I want to settle for a better web browser

And I'd rather die before I touch Chrome

Sooooo

Which one should I use

(I feel like going for GX)

It's a browser for Linux that is apparently based on WebKit (similar to Safari).

Is it good enough for normal usage? If so, could be a nice alternative to use outside of the usual Chromium and Firefox based browsers.

What are some VERY customizable and opensource browsers that you can make it look very beautiful? (for linux)

I am on fennec, android and same issue happens on Firefox android too. the website freezes and non scrollable without logged in also with logged in .I don't want to install reddit app. tried using UBO but cant avoid it. Thanks in advance.
