iCab

It allows you to save entire web pages with their pics into one file, and it allows you to block popups and other adcrap.

Try Midori -- small footprint, works fine and, as far as I can tell, there's no homosexual agenda being pushed nor is there any goose-stepping to hussein's fascist illegal net neutrality.

I'm using Pale Moon since Brendan Eich was kicked out. It's a good browser, with the "old school" GUI, and it runs all the extensions that you may need.

I believe Opera is also OK, but I tried it only on Android and on Linux, not on Windows. Google Chrome supports AdBlock and NoScript, in some form, and is also usable.

I haven’t had too many problems with Pale Moon.

I tried Palemoon (32-bit) after Firefox, but Pm killed some of the extenstions between v24 and v25.

I ran across Cyberfox and have been using it (32-bit version) for a few weeks. It seems to handle the Firefox extensions better than Palemoon did.

I use Safari on my Mac, and it allows you the option of choosing which browser to use for searching on the web. I read some good things about “DuckDuckGo”, and have been using that. They say they do not track you.

You can take a “tour” at their website;
https://duckduckgo.com

I am always interested in the opinions of others, however.

On my Mac I use Firefox as it is the quickest for my purposes. I go to Safari now and then and it works fine. It seems to be getting better.

Use Opera with Bing as the default search engine. Use Ghostery and other add-ins to limit scripts.

I’ve used Pale Moon for quite a while, it’s compatible with the few add-ons I have from FF: Adblock, https everywhere, and the general java/shockwave/etc extensions.

It strips out most of the bloat that FireFox has added in, and runs much smoother. I usually have 20ish tabs left open, then add another 15-20 when browsing through Drudge/FR.

The only big issue I’ve had with Pale Moon is the stupid Army CAC card for SSD classes, it’s only officially supported on IE 9 on Win7 (or IE8) and it was a fight to get it working between PaleMoon, FF, and IE.

Recently I’ve had issues with some menu stuff/in-game stores in KingdomofLoathing, the site’s right-click interface is being over-written by the generic browser right-click menu, and not letting me click on some buttons.

Otherwise, PM is great and I’ve definitely liked it better than FireFox or the all-seeing eye of Chrome.
