Greetings!
I use Edge browser, I set the most private settings, like blocking third party cookies, turn off Windows Defender SmartScreen and not sharing info with microsoft, have not logged in account, prevention and control setting is set to restrictive, etc.
Besides that, what extensions should I use for privacy? I already have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. I don't use Duckduckgo essentials because it sets duckduckgo as main search engine, but I like to use Startpage!
Before you ask, I use Edge because it is the faster browser out there (already tried Firefox and Brave), I can install the applications and I have the colections!
In firefox, I'm trying to migrate from the "Container Tabs Sidebar" extension, to using the similar "Sidebery" extension. While the sidebery menus and configuration panels show options for ordering the firefox container tabs I already created and named, the container tabs do not show in Sidebery's left side tab bar. It only shows a list of tabs. I can even tell it to open a new tab in a specific firefox container but there is no container layout showing up at all.
Am I missing something obvious? Granted I just started trying to use it but I'm having trouble finding out how to make the containers show up in the Sidebery tab bar so I can sort tabs better by type (e.g. "Work" , "Shopping" , "Tech" , etc.). They show up by default in the similar "Container Tabs Sidebar" extension, but sideberry has some neat stuff so I'd like to try using it.
What settings do you guys suggest to make it most like chromes search bar? I have most options disabled but it’s still confusing and not working how I want it
I tried many linux distros (q4os, puppy, mint...)
And different browsers
Any suggestions?
i switch browsers quite a lot, as well as WMs which usually resets cookies. i tried external password managers like bitwarden, but they all seem to be really inconvenient compared to internal ones. is there something like xbrowsersync for passwords?
So I've been trying out multiple browsers trying to find the best one but I still can't find one. Vivaldi is nice as I prefer Chromium based browsers but it's just very overwhelming even with a bunch of options disabled. However, I do like the tab tiling and the sidebar so I wanted to see if there's any other browsers with this feature
Let me clarify. So I have p*rnography addiction and am doing the best I can to prevent myself from accessing it. To do this I use some extensions that prevent me from looking up certain words, phrases, etc.
I used to use Microsoft Edge. The issue is that on MS Edge I could easily turn off the extension any time I want (literally 2 clicks), and I searched for ways to prevent myself from turning off these extensions, but there was none.
So I was wondering if any of you know any browsers that allow users to prevent themselves from turning off the extensions or modifying them? I will really appreciate this, especially if the process to do it involves registry edit. I already secured my phone 100% and can't do anything bad on it, now the issue is with my laptop.
HI !
I don't know why but that begin today, opera are very very slow to open a page fully.
what can i do for fix it ? i just put the update but is not working, opera are still slow
Hi, I'm a Firefox user and really like it but I desperately want to have the tab islands available on almost all Chromium based.
I know Containers exists but it's not close enough to the tab islands experience I had with Brave or Chrome.
I tried switching to Brave but I loose the bookmarks separators
(my Firefox bookmarks)
I know there's websites that you bookmark and it play as a separator but I find them not good enough, it's way larger than a "true" separator.
Do any of you know any browser that have tabs islands like Chromium and that has bookmarks separators like Firefox?
I have really been trying to be safer on the internet and all i need is a browser with the specs listed above
With add-ons enabled, I can only get audio on YouTube?
I'm currently using Vivaldi browser. But I can't add extensions to it. So I'm looking for an alternate browser(mostly Firefox forks)
Waterfox is available on Google Play Store so I'm thinking about this but it's recent reviews are pretty bad. Can anyone help me to choose between Waterfox, Mull, Iceraven and Fennec? Please mention specifications too. Thanks in advance.
Is there such a browser that sync not only your bookmarks and history etc but also cookies so you don’t have to log in to everything as you move between devices? Not sure if even possible or would be a huge security risk.
I am the IT administrator at my school and I use MDM to manage my students' Macbooks.
Many browsers (Chromium Fork,Firefox Fork and more...) have the ability to set up their own DNS.
MDM uses DNS to restrict internet access,so students find and use browsers on the internet or Github or whatever.
We impose restrictions on them as we find them, but they are weasel words.
So please let me know what browsers you know as far as you know.
A list of browsers I already know:AvastSecureBrowser,
Arc,AVG,Beaker,Brave,Coccoc,Chromium,Dooble Browser,DuckDuckGo Private Browser,Floorp,MicrosoftEdge,Epic,Firefox,iCab,Maxthon,min,Naver Whale,Waterfox,Opera,OperaDeveloper,OperaGX,OmniWeb,OtterBrowser,Seamonkey,Sleipnir,Tor,Thorium,Pale Moon,Pulse Browser,Puffin Browser,Phoebe(Lunascape),SRWareIron,Sushi-browser,SigmaOS,Mercury Browser,Min,Wavebox,Ungoogled-chromium,Vivaldi,Yandex Browser,Slimjet,LibreWolf,Mullvad Browser,Orion,Tempest,Iridium
Would it be possible to get 2 different browsers or accounts on one device (in my situation a chromebook or phone), without the two others interfering with each other? The first browser would be my main account I use everyday and the second one would be some sort of alt I can use without family link blocking it (basically making another google account without signing it into the system settings).
I don't know if that make sense or is possible but it would basically be a virtual machine.
The only reason i have been using it is because i love all its features but it all comes with a cost. But now its too much. The boot up time is delayed, asking for update and restart every few mins. Is it just me or you guys have these issues as well? Also recommend some lite weight Browsers?
Hello everybody. After using Edge for two days, problems began. The first problem is long page loads. I don't know what the problem is, but the pages began to load in 1-2 seconds. YouTube takes longer to load. The second problem is the translation of pages. The "Page is not responding" error constantly pops up on Reddit after using the translation. Perhaps this is all fixable (I already made a post in r/MicrosoftEdge, maybe someone had the same problems), but it is very off-putting for the future use of this browser. I don't want to go back to Chrome. Maybe try Vivaldi? How is it anyway?
Exactly what I'm looking for I want to control multiple browser windows from a single main window, like in the Android emulator
For example, simultaneously from browser windows It's like logging into Twitter and pressing the like button.
I tried MultiBox, but the keyboard and mouse do not work properly.
Is this possible?
Cromite vs Vanadium vs Brave
I use mull with google search fixer on android and it does not load any site it can not load google or microsoft
Possible to share ungoogled chrome profile between two users on same windows 10 pc?
One is admin user and other is standard user. have web based app that requires chrome (trying to avoid singing-in or edge and chrome).
I want standard user to see same browser data as admin user. Like same browser history and saved passwords and extensions no matter what user opens browser on their respective desktops that is on same computer?
Also possibly restrict standard user from altering saved passwords or accidentally save new passwords.
what is best way to go about this?
I wanna switch browsers but idk witch one cuz some of them are spyware and slow down my pc like opera.I am using edge as my default browser rn but a lot of ppl say that its bad.
Tried to use an old-fashioned browser, but it seems too outdated now. Even Thorium or Floorp is not as modern as Arc. Thanks BrowserCompany for their product and fresh air. If you properly learn how to use Arc, there is no way back. If you're half way from switching to Arc - this is a sign
