Ummmm---you mean like Firefox or Pale Moon can come in an archive file and can be run portably from the extracted folder? Or the "hot" new Electron or Appimage browser ones (see Min)?

QtWeb is as safe as any browser that hasn't had any security fixes in at least a couple years. :roll:

They don't make any deb package anyway. :lol:

In other hand Brave seems to get a more good feedbacks & attention
even though it's just some another chromium based browser.

A bit of a dilemma between w3m and elinks. w3m integrates nicely with Vim, though I remember the elinks hotkeys better. Oh well...

Since the poll lists neither, I chose Firefox/Iceweasel. Yay!

I've been trying Qupzilla lately, since a couple of months version 2.0.2 is in Sid and it uses QtWebEngine instead of WebKit.

One reason why people won't like Opera is because it's proprietary.

Qt WebEngine is "based on the Chromium Project". I assume they just use Blink for Qt stuff and widgets. Should hopefully be a bit more secure than webkit.

I dont like any of the browsers - its the extensions that make them usable.

I disliked paleMoon least for a while till it ran into extension problems.

Now my least disliked is Tor-Browser. it can simpley access more sites.

Firefox always runs in the money, and chrome dead last in this race...

Not at all.

Tor-Browser is basically a modded Firefox, that will call up any normal website PLUS those with TOR url's. A site with a Tor onion url can be accessed even when its DNS is being heavily blocked.

Its only downside is that it is *slower*. This doesnt apply to P2P though, as while the browser itself is proxied, the rest of the system is not, unless it is fully configured to use the Tor proxy. In short the browser itself will show up as originating from random countries, but other apps, such as bittorrent will display your actual IP address. Ideally to avoid such problems one would use a VPN with it. The VPN itself uses normal DNS, so the addition of the Tor browser with it gives additional access, as well as added security.

Google wont work with Tor, but duckduckgo works just fine.

but most websites won't work in Tor browser anyway unless you enable Javascript, Tor Browser isn't really alternative to normal browser imo
