Browser choices

2025-04-02

Browser, browser, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

Here's my totally not objective shortlist to date

• Firefox - doing stupid things for money
• Floorp - so many options I wound up not using
• Chawan - works great with Ghostty, Neomutt & Newsboat
• W3M - best of the text browsers after Chawan
• Lynx - borks on ipv6
• Dillo - fast and simple, too simple?
• Librewolf - a lean secure Firefox
• Waterfox - yeah but Librefox is leaner
• Mullvad - nice and secure, I don't need a VPN though, yet
• Otter - nice but crashed
• Qutebrowser - yet another barrel of keystrokes to learn
• Nyx - yet another barrel of keystrokes to learn
• Chrome - google's squirmy tentacles, no thanks
• Chromium - I just use it for Jitsi
• Brave - crypto what?
• Vivaldi - ok but it didn't hook me
• Edge - vade retro satana
