For me, the browser is by far the most important software on my computer. After all, I use it about 80% of the time on my PC. At the moment, it's more difficult than ever to find the right browser, at least for me. Until about a year ago, it was usually using Firefox. But for some time now I have lost all trust in Firefox. What the vendor promises is in complete contrast to what the software does by default. User tracking in various forms, unsolicited telemetry, remote installation of add-ons are just the very top reasons why I no longer want to use Firefox. Brave is an alternative, but I don't feel very comfortable with it. The default settings are not ideal here either. What's more, it's packed with extras that nobody needs. In the end, I currently use Ungoogled Chromium, fully aware that I don't always have the latest version installed.
Now there's also Midori. I can't figure it out. What should I make of it? To me it looks like a forked Firefox that lags far behind the current version. I think it's currently Firefox 128.xxx. Doesn't this mean I'm getting the same problems as with Firefox itself, plus an outdated version? What about tracking, telemetry and security problems? What do you think of this browser? In Wikipedia, i read that Midori uses WebKit? Is it not Gecko? And what is a Floorp? The Infos about this browser are really confusing.
The Zen Browser seems to be the most promising Firefox fork. It seems well balanced between features and privacy.
I really like the interface of Zen.
