    It's very promising, but it's currently built almost entirely by college students. Is it going to stay around once they graduate?

    Floorp is based on Firefox with support for its extensions, privacy options and Chrome/Vivaldi similar features for customization. Everything without tracking from Google or Mozilla

    It's easy to use and customize. It's clean, the preferences are easy to understand. They could do a little better on the support side, but everything else is awesome.

    Falkon's really fast even on low-end hardware. Add-ons are still really sparse though, and I haven't found a good way to sync bookmarks or connect it to KeePassXC yet.

    It isn't really bad, but not a lot of add-ons and based con Qtweb (chromium). Not fingerprinting protection like Firefox but also no telemetry by default. It is ok, but it could be better.

    Closed source made by Google. Much less trustworthy than open source, made by the non-profit Mozilla

    Google is a monopolist company because of Chrome and the amount of power it can exert over web development. Even Microsoft Edge is better.

    Proprietary, made by a profit company based on spy it users, cannot custom, not equivalent like about:config in Firefox, cannot disable telemetry or see code, so it is a black box. Shitty add-ons, Chrome is killing Third party and also going to kill third add-ons... Performance is ok but I don't see difference with Firefox (in Linux also Firefox is WAY BETTER in performance) Don't support monopolist companies.

    I like using opensource and GNU software when I can. I like being able to browse the code, modify things, and install from the source that I audited. Nothing hidden is good.

    GNU anything is usually super restrictive against anything that doesn't fit their definition of "freedom". Avoid.

    Opera used to be good back in the day, but IMO it lost its way in the early 2010s. One of the founders went on to start Vivaldi, which is a spiritual successor to the original, and that one's my current favorite Chromium browser.
