    Firefox, Palemoon, Brave, Vivaldi, Tor Browser Bundle (Firefox ESR) are considerable alternatives. If you prefer maximum privacy use Tor Browser Bundle if you prefer usability try Firefox or Brave. For "GUI gimmicks" use Vivaldi. Palemoon is special in this list because it uses another Browser engine.

    Strange and very clever answer, especially Mr.X - your wisdom is really impressive, as always.

  5. Well there's Firefox, and Opera (but I guess that's fallen into obscurity these days). I'm surprised that Chrome is the only thing you know of...

    Of course it is not the only one he knows. He has a weird and really twisted way of seeing things.
    That or his brain is full of ... wisdom, no more can get in. :p

  8. Well, Firefox has been around much longer than Chrome. That's all I'm saying.

    btw for people who is willing to use AdGuard, it is slower than uBlock and you can see the performance impact of it

    I know. I can see it. It's a shame. Adguard is great though.

    Opera is Chromium based and in hand of Chinese + Chinese investors. I did not mention every single browser on purpose.

    AdGuard is not slower, it depends on if you're talking about the "injection" method (AdGuard for Linux/Windows installed + naked Browser) or if you use AdGuard as extension/addon. That is a huge difference, because the injection method is limited in it's way how the Browser allows the used API's (you can compare it to Script engines like GreasyFork vs. traditional addons/extensions, because extensions can inject themselves before the page is been loaded while the scripts/injections are applied right after it).

    The problem with AdGuard is that the Windows/Linux/macOS client is more than an ad-blocker, they are basically all-in-one solutions, and they offer lot of more functions, which needs CPU cycles as well as RAM. Processing HOSTS file or "old" lists like that are inefficient and that often causes svchost.exe (dnscache) to "freak out", as a result Windows becomes "laggy" and AdGuard's memory is rising too because AdGuard tries to resolve the DnsCache, while Windows itself tries to read them out (which then again triggers AdGuard to resolve the DNSCache).

    1. I appreciate your literary knowledge very much, but you have only listed two different browsers and one antique.
    2. Or you think that if your wife wears another dress, then she is really and at all another woman?
