Recommended Posts

Any Specific reason for Not using chrome? cyberfox and waterfox are Firefox variants while vivaldi is chrome based. 

So, if you want to use firefox based, go for Cyberfox, and Vavaldi for chrome based.

Those thing you mentioned depends on Internet (latency) so you need to check that too, as well as you need Ad-block/Flash-block etc plugins in your Browser.

They must have a crappy web design then.

 

Cyberfox and Waterfox are basically "optimized" Firefox builds - I see no reason not to use the official Firefox over these, IMO. Comodo's IceDragon is derived from Firefox, with more focus on security. Vivaldi is a Chromium-based browser, with additional features and enhancements.

 

Out of the four listed, I'd use Vivaldi. Otherwise, I'd try to figure out why Chrome doesn't work with the site in question (assuming it's broken due to an ad-blocking/anti-script extension or something like that)... or better yet, report to the site's web designers that their website doesn't work too well in Chrome.

Some are incompatible with certain plug-ins or extensions - the current version of Waterfox has issues with the IDM extension (also current) for example - which is why I am running the x64 version of Firefox (not Waterfox) at present.

Real Chrome or Firefox, the rest are IMO a waste of the little HDD space you use for them 

 

And stop going to sites that don't work in modern browsers, there's no reason any site would not work in Chrome, for consumers, other than bad web design 

Here is what I gathered while skimming over this thread:

"I am blaming my browser because I dont know how things work - and I have to blame something"

Oh - when someone says "ad blocker" - dont interpret that as Ad-Block, ABP, Ad-Block Plus - just use "ublock by origin"

    • Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
