Zen is derived from Firefox and someone here recommended it and it’s been nice. Heavily modified UI which differs from mainstream browsers which may or not be for you.
FireDragon used to be a LibreWolf derivative, now incorporates LW stuff into Floorp with additional tweaks. Found it to be a better experience than LW but YMMV.
Probably have 8 or so browsers installed to play with but those two get regular usage.
Nobara has recently switched to a modified Brave for ease of use. Personally will never use it, but passing this along for those who fall under certain use cases.
Brave has a couple conditions where it works better than Firefox-based or other Chrome-based browsers. Having VRR (variable refresh rate) enabled currently causes crashes when scrolling live video in Firefox-based browsers. Having Hardware Acceleration enabled currently breaks Google Meets in Chromium other than Brave unless you use the flatpak version.
If using Brave it is recommended to set the following options to disable stuff like crypto and AI (default Nobara settings):
“BraveRewardsDisabled”: true,
“BraveWalletDisabled”: true,
“BraveVPNDisabled”: 1,
“BraveAIChatEnabled”: false,
“TorDisabled”: true,
“DnsOverHttpsMode”: “automatic”
So until those bugs are fixed upstream, if you use VRR or Google Meets, Brave with the tweaks can offer a better experience. As others recommend, avoid altogether if those do not apply.
