They all do the same. It is a little like: “Do you prefer the sun or the moon?”
To which I respond: Of course, w3m as it works where nothing else works (alike).
“Of course, the moon. It lightens up the night, while the sun shines during the day, when it is already clear...”
I like Firefox. I like umatrix to handle allowing of scripts, and too many that have built-in can't disable it to use a good blocker like umatrix instead of the default one. Vivaldi is my second favorite though, especially since they've made vast improvements since the 2.8 series releases in stability.
Firefox, despite that I curse them every time I update the browser and they have changed the UI and I have to search all over again to figure out how to put tabs where they should be, below the url bar. When Mozilla rids of userChrome, I will switch to Seamonkey.
I don't have any real preferences. I run a mixture of older and newer Puppies; some 32-bit, some 64-bit. I use Chrome, Opera, Iron, Firefox - both current Quantum and ESR releases.....and also Palemoon on older Pups, for its lightweight nature.
I used to be a die-hard Firefox user, up until the release of Chrome back in Autumn of 2008; at that time, FF was undergoing memory-usage issues, plus it had a habit of regularly crashing. Chrome was light, fast, and amazingly stable. I fell in love with it, and it was my go-to browser for many years.
With the release of Quantum, there became little to choose between them, so I started using both. Various Chromium-based 'clones' have also provided reliable service. In the last few weeks, I've started using Opera on the 64-bit Pups, and it's more-or-less replaced Chrome for these....
Currently posting this from the newest version of Iron (v78), running in Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.7 from a chroot 'jail'.
Mike.
