I love FF I've been using it for well over a decade but it runs like absolute ass on my pc. I downloaded chrome to test the waters and it's so much faster but now I feel like a shit for letting even more google into my life (already use youtube, gmail and search). Is there a hidden 3rd option I just don't know about?

    Here’s a list of ones you (likely) don’t know about:

    Netsurf: I’ve only really used it on plan9 but it’s light weight and works ok for basic JavaScript. They have their own layout and JS engine

    nyxt: browser written and configured in Common Lisp, it uses WebKit

    surf: suckless browser that also uses WebKit

    Ladybird, it’s not ready yet but it’s in very active development, writing their own browser engine from scratch

    Mothra: the default web browser for 9front. It ignores all JavaScript and most html and css tags making is super fast and secure.
