    It's very promising, but it's currently built almost entirely by college students. Is it going to stay around once they graduate?

    Floorp is based on Firefox with support for its extensions, privacy options and Chrome/Vivaldi similar features for customization. Everything without tracking from Google or Mozilla

    It's easy to use and customize. It's clean, the preferences are easy to understand. They could do a little better on the support side, but everything else is awesome.

    I like using opensource and GNU software when I can. I like being able to browse the code, modify things, and install from the source that I audited. Nothing hidden is good.

    Comments about Google Chrome as an Alternative to Mozilla Firefox
    Comment summary: Google Chrome, while praised for speed, security, and resource management, is criticized for lacking privacy, customization, and being closed-source compared to Mozilla Firefox. Users highlight its proprietary nature and data privacy concerns, whereas Firefox is preferred for its open-source development and privacy focus. Performance opinions vary, with some users finding Chrome faster and others preferring Firefox, particularly on Linux.

    Closed source made by Google. Much less trustworthy than open source, made by the non-profit Mozilla

    Google is a monopolist company because of Chrome and the amount of power it can exert over web development. Even Microsoft Edge is better.

    Proprietary, made by a profit company based on spy it users, cannot custom, not equivalent like about:config in Firefox, cannot disable telemetry or see code, so it is a black box. Shitty add-ons, Chrome is killing Third party and also going to kill third add-ons... Performance is ok but I don't see difference with Firefox (in Linux also Firefox is WAY BETTER in performance) Don't support monopolist companies.

    Comments about Opera as an Alternative to Mozilla Firefox
    Comment summary: Users express concerns over Opera's privacy and data handling, particularly regarding its ownership by a Chinese company, which contrasts with Firefox's open-source and privacy-focused approach. However, Opera receives praise for its speed, design, and features like free VPN and innovative updates. Preferences differ, as some users find Opera too bloated, preferring Firefox, which offers a different browsing experience.

    Opera used to be good back in the day, but IMO it lost its way in the early 2010s. One of the founders went on to start Vivaldi, which is a spiritual successor to the original, and that one's my current favorite Chromium browser.

    It is essentially a fork of Firefox with ONLY private mode. There is no way to sync anything, to install extensions, and generally do anything permanent except saving sites on the home screen for some reason.

    And it has an un-toggleable cookie-banner dismisser, which does not work well, and sometimes breaks sites completely.
