How do I browser? Being a massive hipster, I tried out every obscure browser I could find. These are my opinions, for what it's worth. Lorin Werthen 25-10-2016 true

Intro

It's 2016. We have hoverboards, selfie sticks, way too many JavaScript package managers and an obsession for ironic humor. In these dark days, we should search for those things that truly make us happy, like finding that near perfect web browser.

In this post we compare the usual contenders, together with some cool, groovy, new browsers.

  • Google Chrome/Chromium
  • Firefox
  • Vivaldi
  • Opera
  • Internet Explorer
  • Brave

Comparison

Google Chrome/Chromium

Ah good old Chrom{e,ium}. Whether you go for the open source or the corporate version, you're getting a damn good browser. Most websites seem to be designed with Chrome (or just WebKit browsers in general) in mind. The Chrome Web Store is without a doubt the most mature web store with thousands upon thousands of extensions.
