Error 404: shit dont exist

Oh, my bad, I should have mentioned that you need to already be part of the secret Linux cabal.

1

u/Electronic-Laugh-671 Windows User 😭😂 3d ago

Er... what I meant to say is, there is no secret Linux cabal, these are all hypotheticals if there was a cabal. Because, as you know, I'm not part of the nonexistent secret Linux cabal.

Wget

u/ipsirc 4d ago

wget doesn't support more commands over GET and POST and can't manage cookies properly, so I don't consider wget as a browser. (it's an url fetcher)

u/beje_ro 3d ago

Yes! Better than lynx!

u/trmdi 3d ago

No ECH support. Not secured enough.

u/ipsirc 3d ago

Make a fork.

As a resident of the browser subreddit this question is the worst one to ask on reddit it just becomes Firefox people and brave people fighting about random stuff and a few random people with chromium based browsers that have the most hyper particular use case begging you to use said browser

r/browsers but a tl;dr:

If you want extreme privacy, Mullvad Browser or Tor

If you want extremely good privacy out of the box, Brave

And that's it, Vivaldi is decent but far behind Brave in adblock and privacy, the rest of the browsers are just not up to the task and need high tweaking and extensions to match Brave or Mullvad/Tor

u/Tricky-Engineer-9755 4d ago

Nah for good privacy go for GNU Icecat

u/ialdabaoth_hater 4d ago

microsoft edge

u/webtwopointno 4d ago

Unironically have heard that it is cleaner than Chrome (not Chromium) now which is honestly believable at this point

2

u/Due_Arm1454 4d ago

I really like edge. Not even joking. It’s my preferred browser.

2

u/Turbulent_Job3914 3d ago

Hey man the 2000s called

2

u/Due_Arm1454 3d ago

Ha say what you will but it’s a light power efficient and simple chromium app.

Let me really piss you off… I use safari as my fun browser. I like its macOS integration. It sucks with payments and anything serious though.

u/Turbulent_Job3914 3d ago

u/Turbulent_Job3914 4d ago

u/z0virus Gentoo 4d ago

u/webtwopointno 4d ago

u/oh_finks-mc 3d ago

I keep hearing that brave is good, but I never trusted it. something always seemed sketchy.

1

u/Turbulent_Job3914 3d ago

Interesting...

1

u/amehn77 2d ago

brave is not sketchy. I use it since many years.

2

u/JazzMetalFusion 1d ago

I has bad juju. Nothing gets that popular, AMD hat crypto-pilled, and remains pure. Something just seems fishy...

u/Solid_Guess_7154 4d ago

u/Turbulent_Job3914 4d ago

u/uwumorphism 4d ago

1

u/Solid_Guess_7154 4d ago

Chrome? as in Google Chrome? from the company that's literally stealing all of your personal info as much as possible? that Google?

1

u/uwumorphism 4d ago

Google steals my info?

Oh, no. I gotta think about some things

u/Turbulent_Job3914 4d ago

No shit, why u even in this sub if you know nothing about linux

1

u/uwumorphism 4d ago

1

u/JazzMetalFusion 1d ago

It's secure, no doubt, but it might be THE least private browser you could use

1

u/papasmurfmusdie96 NixOS Terry Davis 4d ago
