Your browser is one of the most important pieces of software on your system. While it is not essential to having a working operating system, it is what will allow you to access all of your favorite sites in a safe and practical manner. So, it is important that you make the right choice on which browser you would like to use. If you are on the fence about what web browser you would like to use on your Linux system, I am going to give a rundown of my personal 5 favorite web browsers. It is also worth noting that while they may be available for other Operating systems, they are also all mainly focussed on Linux.

    Very interesting. I do wish we had more firefox based browsers though. A firefox based qutebrowser would be very nice, or some other take on keyboard usability, but keeping the firefox background. Unfourtunately, I’ve read that mozilla’s backend is not as modular as chromium, leaving many of the alternative browsers contributing to google’s web hegemony.

      I mean, for what it’s worth, I’ve seen a techy user (i.e. non-dev) just customizing their Firefox with a Vim-shortcuts-extension and a userChrome.css-file and they liked that basically just as much as qutebrowser.

      Not really any reason why that couldn’t be set up a bit more professionally and compiled into a binary etc…
