Which Browser The Best!

[phenomlab]

Now trying out Firefox latest build on my PC - so far, so good, and because I’m so used to Chrome, I’ve made it look similar at the very least

[phenomlab]

I’ve hit a snag. The development (F12) tools on Firefox really aren’t that great and it doesn’t behave in the same way as every other WebKit based browser does.

The ability to highlight specific elements is missing, and you cannot click vars which would typically be a link to the value. Nothing happens when you do click then, and that’s going to completely change the way I develop.

Not good. Going to check to see if there’s anything I can do about that. If not, goodbye Firefox…

After much deliberation, I’ve stopped using Firefox. Just too many things I dislike - in fact, way more than I’d care to list. I’ve gone back to using Edge - both on my desktop, and mobile. I think the thing that really put me off was the stock developer tools in Firefox. They are simply awful in my view and not a great experience at all.

In fairness, there is this

However, having checked, the F12 developer console is exactly the same??

Personnaly, I don’t use firefox since 2 or 3 years for Vivaldi for so many reasons but I still recommend Firefox to those who have basic use of the web.

I love the console of Vivaldi on Desktop

Tried this browser again this evening. It’s an acquired taste in my view. Not something I’d specifically choose. Reminds me somehow of how Opera used to be.

Will take a look at this now, looks fairly good, very similar to Brave?

[phenomlab]

@JAC yes, same here. A lot of that functionality made it’s way into Vivaldi so you will probably feel at home.

[JAC]

Anyone tried this? - https://librewolf.net/

[phenomlab]

@JAC yes, for a short time. It’s quite good but I’m no Firefox fan which is what this is based on.

[JAC]

@phenomlab I mainly use Brave & Vivaldi myself, the lack of android platform is definitely a turn off.

[DownPW]

You have Floorp too. It’s a firefox Fork with several functionnality of Vivaldi
Given the twist that Firefox is taking, this should be taken into consideration.

Here an article on my forum (in french --> Use traduction)

Hmm my favicon doesn’t work grrrrrrrrr

[JAC]

@DownPW interesting thank you, I’ll have a look at this .

[phenomlab]

@DownPW the favicon won’t work because of the settings (security headers) you have in CF - they are probably origin only meaning the proxy gets access denied.

@phenomlab

hmmm strange Mark, I have change it. We should look at this together if you want.

I meant that they don’t work in Google results either. OK, I understand about OG Proxy.

The favicon works randomly in the browser but I would like them to work correctly.
I have found that NodeBB works strangely on this.

You should look at these settings

cross-origin-opener-policy	same-origin
cross-origin-resource-policy	same-origin
x-frame-options	SAMEORIGIN

[phenomlab]

@DownPW yes, sorry.
