Web browser recommendations
by vladimir1986 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57BHQ)
Hey there. I am here to ask for a bit of guidance.
For around 16 years I have been using Firefox as my main browser, while trying some different ones, but never straying out too far: Those recent 250 employees fired just before renewing their 500 million contract with Google just did it (I was already discomtempt with stuff like UI changes, lack of customization, etc). I just found that I don't know any browser that can replace it and would love to hear suggestions.
I had tried SeaMonkey in the past, and I like it. It just won't compile anymore on my machine. I also remember it was very sluggish (A+ for the interface tho).
Chrome is a big no-no because of its data collection. I had tried Chromium in the past, but it won't do it for me as it won't display websites with DRM, like Netflix.
Most recommendations go towards WebKit engine based browsers. Those are a big nope for me too: I use two computers and compile everything: My puny dualcore takes nearly TWO days to compile webkit, and my average 6th gen I5 takes 8+ hours (sometimes over 12). The smell of burning CPU is still chiselled into my brain.
So without Webkit, Chrome and SeaMonkey: Is it there anything I could use?
ps: Links and lynx always worked for me, but they are not great for Netflix
