Sorry about the rant. When you've been using the same product for over a decade, moving off to something else starts to become paralysis by analysis.

Take another look at the latest Brave build, it fixed some things had had kept me from using it. Still waiting for a darker theme.

Firefox 57 is claimed to be twice as fast while using 30% less memory. It features a new CSS engine written in Rust that runs in parallel across all your cores.

However, XUL-based extensions are phased out in favor of the cross-browser standard WebExtensions API. There are a ton of XUL-based extensions that will need to be ported.

> “I find ScriptSafe to be easier to monitor scripts than with Firefox/NoScript.”

I’ve been using NoScript in recent years, and go to a fair number of unsavory and probably dangerous sites. I don’t turn on scripts unnecessarily, though, and almost never do so when explicitly warned. Of course, I also don’t download software from sites I don’t trust (though I download a lot of software in general).

I’ve been on the internet since the early days and — knock on wood — have never knowingly had a virus (had some caught by my antivirus program, of course, but never had any that ran and caused noticeable problems to my computer). Maybe that’s mostly luck, but in the recent years that I’ve been using NoScript, it seems to have done its job.

(The biggest problem I’ve had with NoScript is that some pages need so many scripts that it takes a long time to check out enough of them individually to get the essential parts of the page running, so sometimes I just leave. If ScriptSafe will check them all at once, and give me some kind of readout showing which ones may be a problem, then that’s a feature I’d appreciate.)

Midori, Vivaldi, Pale Moon, Chromium, QupZilla.

I personally prefer pale moon. I uses a different engine from the forked mozilla code, and runs a bit snappier at the end of the day.

From reading the Brave site, it appears that some interesting features are on the way for that browser. Just tried it, and it works pretty well. Will look at what they’re doing with code. I might try staying with it a little, if the code is clean enough. That’s important. Hastily adopted code often presents the worst security holes.

I can’t seem to find one that seriously outperforms the other.I currently use these: Firefox,Edge, Chrome, Opera and Maxthon

I have used Maxthon ever since the days when it was MyIE. It is extremely customizeable. In fact, many of its innovations were later picked up by the other ‘name’ brand browser and it is worth a look just to see the many settings you can use. However, it is owned by Chinese interests.

Firefox has a couple of new extensions and seems pretty fast. Not crazy about their customizeablity nor layout.

Edge claims to be faster and 20% safer from malware than Firefox and has a popup to tell me that whenever I open their competition.

I kinda like Opera and their built in VPN which is nice for sites you don’t want to lay eyes on your IP or place cookies. Haven’t had any problems with it over many years.

Google Chrome I use exclusively for my gmail accounts. I hate the harassment you get from them about security and changing my passwords.
