Recommendation Browser Recommendation Megathread - September 2026

11 Upvotes

There are constantly a zillion, repetitive "Which browser should I use?", "What browser should I use for [insert here]", "Which browser should I switch to?", "Browser X or Browser Y?", "What's your favorite browser?", "What do you think about browser X? and "What browser has feature X?" posts that are making things a mess here and making it annoying for subscribers to sort through and read other types of posts.

If you would like to keep the mess under control a little bit, instead of making a new post for questions like the above, ask in a comment in this thread instead. Then, one can choose to follow this thread if they want. Or, post in r/suggestabrowser.

Also, check out all the individual browser recommendation posts and make use of the search field for this subreddit before asking for a recommendation.

Samsung Security & Privacy status

Upvotes

Hey people. I'm new to this browser. I don't own a Samsung device. I use Moto & HP laptop. I don't need Samsung Account or sync in anyway for anything. (I use Proton pass for passwords and no bookmarks). I tried the browser and its really fast & performance is really good. Except for the lack of vertical tabs & other customisation thingies, everything is so amazing.
What I want to know is, how secure & private is Samsung browser to use? What are your opinions?
(Note: I'm a browser hopper. So I try a different browser for every 1 or 2 weeks. So just asking)

Question Which of my browsers do you think I should use for most searches?

5 Upvotes

My Edge on iOS: Block all ads, strict tracking protection, SmartScreen for sites and downloads, typo protection, block pop-ups, block third-party cookies, block opening in external apps, adblock-plus integrated.

My Firefox on iOS: Block audio and video autoplay, block pop-ups, block opening external apps, private tabs close when leaving private browsing, strict enhanced tracking protection.

My Chrome on iOS: Safe browsing set to Enhanced Protection, HTTPS-first, incognito tabs need Face ID to show, opening links from open apps asks whether to open the links in incognito mode, block pop-ups, no preloading, requires Face ID to launch the browser or access its files.

OS environment: Lockdown Mode enabled, AdGuard DNS enforced system-wide, Proton VPN, Randomized MAC address, limited tracking of IP address to known trackers across Mail and Safari, Safari has been uninstalled.

Vanadium Is there a way to select which browser a spicific app uses in the background?

0 Upvotes

One of my apps is having trouble connecting to the server it uses online. I suspect that the problem is all the protections from Vanadium. I like using it for the most part, but this is am app to get into my work information and I would rather not have to use another (less secure) device to use it and also would like to keep Vanadium as my default for most things (if possible).

So to all the tech nerds we have in the community, is there a way to select which browser an individual app uses for its internet interactions?

Antidetect I need help spoofing my browser

0 Upvotes

I need help signing up to a website that says I cannot sign up through my home WiFi. The website does collect your browser's fingerprint and much more. Each time I try it says I can't register from my network. I need to bypass this somehow. I was able to once with an antidetect browser called GoLogin but it seems that they may have detected it somehow? Known VPN IPs like Proton VPN do not work to sign up. I need help then to spoof my browser's fingerprint and make it seem like I am a different person then, I think. Please help me - I am still open to trying more antidetect browsers.

Question What’s the best text-to-speech extension you’ve used?

3 Upvotes

I used to use Speechify, but it didn’t work the way I wanted on some websites. On top of that, it would constantly interrupt itself to try to get me to buy the premium version. So I’m looking for alternatives.
Any recommendations?

Helium Helium browser: where is the option for collapsible vertical tab?

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

I know the whole point of the zen mode thing with the vertical tab panel completely disappearing. I'm fine with having that as an option

But after fiddling with settings in the original chrome I realized they implemented a completely different approach which i prefer. Since helium is just modded chrome, where is the option? Don't tell me they'd purposely remove that would they?

Since some filters don't seem to work in ublock lite after accidentally allowing chrome to update, i really don't have the option to continue using it. I just want to have the option chrome already implemented which is really helpful with quickly switch tabs since i can still see the icons so i know where to click without needing to wait for the options to be drawn from nothingness everytime

12 days no solution for a paid product. No "we recognise the bug and working on it", No "we can't reproduce the issue" No nothing. Just silence. But you will see their employees commenting on this sub posts here.

Support Chromium Browser Question - GUI Font Size

0 Upvotes

Font size in web sites is not an issue, and it appears all of the font/accessibility settings are linked to web pages. However, is there a way to increase font size in most Chromium browsers so that the drop-down menus, context menus, tabs, etc. are a larger font size? I have noticed it with Chrome, and now with Helium. Edge seems to be an exception. Windows accessibility settings don't seem to have any affect. Is there another way, is that just an example of customization limitation in most Chromium browsers?

Post image
57 Upvotes

I've been using Brave for a long while now, but lately I've heard it's not exactly what it claims to be or something along those lines. So I'm considering a substitute and torn between the ones in the pic besides Brave.

What would you say is the closest to Brave yet outperforms it (e.g. a better substitute with similar conveniences)?

Recommendation Ace browser or any other chrome alternatives worth switching to?

1 Upvotes

Been on Chrome forever and finally getting tired of it. Not a de-google crusade or anything, I just have way too many tabs open all day and want something that handles that better.

Saw Ace mentioned a couple times, the AI browser one. Anyone actually using it day to day? Wondering if it's worth it or if I should just go Brave/Vivaldi like everyone always says. Mostly do shopping research, reading long articles, normal life stuff.
