    Brave is kinda shady with their whole cryptocurrency thing, Helium seems fine but it’s still based on Chromium. I’ve been recommending people check out Librewolf

    Simple Firefox is perfectly fine.

    Ungoogled Chromium is my standby for the instances when a Blink browser is needed, though it's not entirely simple to set up.

    Yeah, I've been on brave for a few years but switched to Firefox because it's a different base. I don't think it's necessary better, but if that's the way the wind is blowing on chromium browsers the it's the best option.

    I cannot count how many things I had to change in settings to get the browser to just work right, I mean I appreciate them locking everything down to the nth degree but.. damn. Finally switched to waterfox, the out of the box experience is a lot friendlier.

    I get the frustration. It could have a tutorial / wizard to make it easier to set and understand.

    If some parts are not loading, check the top left of the address bar for some icons, by default LibreWolf blocks canvas and anything that can identify you, and you have to press on them to allow them to render the elements.

    Security unfortunately implies more inconvenience, which is what companies like Google love, but if it was a lot friendlier it would probably be less safe.

    I'm using Zen now. it took me a while while to get the hang of the UI. But once I did I found it to be very nice to have those spaces that I can organize for different tasks.

    I’ve used Zen for about 9 months, possibly more, and have had a largely positive experience.

    It has crashed a few times recently for no obvious reason but not enough to bother me. There’s probably new release version again even though I updated my Linux instance a couple of weeks ago.
