5 Great Web Browsers For Linux · The Kernal
thekernal.xyz
Your browser is one of the most important pieces of software on your system. While it is not essential to having a working operating system, it is what will allow you to access all of your favorite sites in a safe and practical manner. So, it is important that you make the right choice on which browser you would like to use. If you are on the fence about what web browser you would like to use on your Linux system, I am going to give a rundown of my personal 5 favorite web browsers. It is also worth noting that while they may be available for other Operating systems, they are also all mainly focussed on Linux.

    Very interesting. I do wish we had more firefox based browsers though. A firefox based qutebrowser would be very nice, or some other take on keyboard usability, but keeping the firefox background. Unfourtunately, I’ve read that mozilla’s backend is not as modular as chromium, leaving many of the alternative browsers contributing to google’s web hegemony.

      I mean, for what it’s worth, I’ve seen a techy user (i.e. non-dev) just customizing their Firefox with a Vim-shortcuts-extension and a userChrome.css-file and they liked that basically just as much as qutebrowser.

      Not really any reason why that couldn’t be set up a bit more professionally and compiled into a binary etc…

    Most of the time I’m just happy using links. Of course I have graphical browsers like hardened Firefox and ungoogled chromium, but when I just need text, I reach for links, which is about 95% of the time.

      True, I only really use my graphical browser for the blog & Fediverse. I do most of my research on Lynx.

    Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for thekernal.xyz. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.xserver.jp, xserver.jp

    edit: another old post showing up on top for me! I need to pay attention to the date before I comment

    The error should be fixed now, I realized it while I was at lunch but couldn’t do much to stop it from my flip phone.
