There isn't any absolute security. Our choices and what we click matter more than anything else. Security is about making the correct decision 10,000 times a day, without fail. If we fail (and we all do), then we hope the next level of protection will save us. If that fails, we hope the next level of protection saves us.

I won't use chrome. Just don't trust the largest advertising company in the world to NOT access private data displayed in their browser. I do use chromium, but only for specific, trusted, financial websites and only when run in a separate container - away from other applications and without any direct access to permanent storage. Firejail is how to accomplish that, but it isn't perfect either; just provides another layer of protection. My day to day secure browser is firefox - with all the issues it has, but I disable javascript, java, flash, and remove all locally stored tracking objects nightly. Also only allow session cookies and never allow 3rd party cookies. With all this stuff disabled, the web is a very different place. Many websites don't work, which is fine. I don't need to visit them. There are exceptions, of course. Each is taken into consideration carefully. I stopped visiting lifehacker due to their abusive tracking and abusive javascript, IMHO. Basically, if there are more than 3 javascript sites required for a webpage to work, I don't need to visit it.

I use NoScript, but understand there is a serious flaw in the firefox addon architecture which makes any addon have the ability to see all data from all websites. Each isn't limited to just the viewing tab as we would hope. This is a serious flaw for all addons in firefox. I get the feeling this aspect is very difficult to address without a nearly complete re-write and breaking all current addons

Brave. Near bulletproof.

Nothing ever crashed it other than rarely needing to close that page. Never had a download breach from it. That's how some of those nasty trojan preloaders can bypass security download settings.

That happened once with the Samsung browser, fortunately I picked it off before it could get it's payload download.

Malware scripted jpeg out there too and they will screw up any folder they are put into if you download one.

Always keep an eye on the tempory* download folder... vett everything before moving it to your database.

*keep it small, either discard downloads or add them to your database. That makes management much easier especially when there's a problem. Rare but it can happen🤣

It's leaves a white panel at the top in landscape mode when watching vids on my setup (Pie).

Stupid glitch does it with global dark mode enabled. So I use the Samsung browser for streaming.

You can't hard copy backup bookmarks in Brave so I use ColorNote for all bookmarks now.

Screw that cloud crap...

For browsing Brave is my favorite though. It's ad blocking is excellent and near effortless. Easy to change js, cookie and cross site tracking, and fingerprinting settings. You can lock a website down if you need to with no added plugins.

I have tested Chrome 99.0 version and Firefox 98.3 on my Pixel 4a running Android 10 and found that for speed Chome is better, its faster than Firefox. But for battery life Firefox is better, Chrome drains almost double the battery used by Firefox. I will be personally using Firefox from now on. Its not slow by any means, its super fast, but its just that Chrome is even faster. I prefer less battery drain.

As you can see from my screenshots below, Chrome used for 1hr 3mins drains 5% whereas Firefox used for 2hr 5mins drains only 3%. Its not scientific test by any means, but I used both in the same manner.

[Off-topic] Tajil:
thats right bro

firefox-fenix is better in battery life saver.

in case of performance, we have to be clear that websites nowaday has been developed for chrome or based on chrome ''architecture''. So, the test for speed was not fair enough to be used as a justifier tool for firefox performance.

IMHO, we should use generic/universal---neutral benchmarking tools and a neutral website constract that been built not just for chrome and its derivatives only.
[Off-topic] mathieu89:

but, on performance side would be vary depend on your machine and the state on its environment, plus what kind of website/service do you use. If it been built based on chrome technology, then the speed would be faster rather using the others browser. But it is not fair to judge other browser like that.

I currently use TugaBrowser. It's one of the CAF browsers which are based on chromium, and it's optimized for Snapdragon devices.

So it's like a better variant of Chrome. It also includes background media playback (so you can listen to YouTube with screen off or while in another tab/app), ad-block and more.

My second browser is Opera Mini, for the data saving feature. It reduced my data usage by up to 94%, according to them.

When internet 2.0 hit Big in the late 1990's and than the big boom of the early 2000's, I want to say it was netscape/Mozilla firefox. Mozilla bought out netscape and changed the name to firefox after the buy out. So Mozilla firefox/netscape 1999-2008. Until 2008, why? There was a brand new browser in BETA testing called Google Chrome. It was known it for its really fast speeds. At the time, most browsers used AJAX or java script, but chrome used a virtual java script to load it's pages. I never turned back since 2008. Sure I still have firefox for 2nd place and than opera, for searching for FAMILY VACATION photos :D

This, except that I use GNU/Linux instead of Windows on PCs.

Firefox may have its issues however it's still the best browser with the best extensions, proper cookie management and indeed fast loading times if you're not counting quarter-nano-seconds to compare it with Chrome that always has some service for caching in the background.

Chrome is fine for casual users without high expections or developers who should have installed every recent and common browser anyway, otherwise I never got used to it for having a terrible menu and lacking customization for cookies by default.

Opera and now Vivandi is fine too but its UI always made me sick by looking at it as it feels all blown up, otherwise it always used to render webpages great and fast on small devices which made me use at least Opera Mobile a long time.

Midori is fun to use as well as it feels like Firefox in the pre-1.0 days but I wouldn't use it anywhere except on old computers and speaking for Edge.... I still gotta try this one out the next time I fire up a Windows VM.

Safari is... Safari.

Windows: Netscape was the s*** before Microsoft messed that up for us. Firefox developed a big fanbase, but wasn't as good; and hasn't been yet. People only really praised it for being open-source. Wasn't really happy again until Opera came out. Chrome started out ok, but quickly became worthless.
