What is the Fastest Internet Browser in 2022 | Speed Test

[sifatullah]

So basically all the browsers are faster and better in Linux compared to Windows.

I've been using Firefox for many years now. The speed has never been an issue to me (despite what many articles have said, the real life differences between speed in browsers IMO are too small to notice without a direct comparison). What did irritate me was the switch away from Adobe for YouTube (I had a lot of trouble playing videos for a long time) and some stability issues watching videos (which thankfully are now long in the past). Generally speaking it is the only browser that allows me to still use a traditional pull down menu system which I find far more intuitive rather than struggling with the more modern approach of just hiding everything.

I switched to firefox about a year ago just because i wanted to get away from google. Now i cant see myself using any other browser it has been a great experience.

Firefox on Linux seems to be a reasonable alternative given its strong performance on that OS

Honestly nowadays I switch between Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and Brave and I've never really noticed any real difference in performance (also on some 10years old machines), they are all more than fine performance-wise. My choice at this point is more about extensions and privacy

[chrisbitus]

Firefox is damn fast with proper settings. Also they're the only ones offering addons even on android..

I use Vivaldi since a long time because of the customization possibilities, the extras like Vivaldi translator and because it works on almost every platform. The sync option works also very well between devices. But I also like Falkon, Epiphany and Firefox.

I stick with firefox, even though it's less performant. The only way websites will get better optimization for non-chromium browsers is if those browsers become more more commonplace.

My take on Browser performance tests is that unless you are running very heavy browser applications or the specific browser under consideration is severely lacking, performance is perhaps the least important of all metrics to worry about.

In some kind of twisted King Midas metaphor, everything Google touches turns to Chrome. As for me, I've used Mozilla Firefox all the way back to Netscape Navigator.

Quick question Chris, since you are used to a Chromium like experience but don't want Google, why not try other forks besides Brave?
Ungoogled Chromium, Iridium, etc... They're all based on Chromium with re-enforced privacy, and they're built by the community so there is no crypto or whatnot shady deals.

I tend to go back and forth between Vivaldi and Firefox (Running EndeavourOS/Gnome) I like the look of Firefox and it's open source, but I prefer Vivaldi overall and it works on a few sites firefox has occasionally had problems with, most likely the chromium backend (which i didn't like about Vivaldi) helps there.

I really recommend you give Librewolf a try. Is a Firefox fork with a bunch of privacy tweaks and it comes with ublock origin installed out of the box.

I used Brave regularly for many years. Firefox, sometimes. A month ago, I tried MS Edge, and was pleasently surprised for its speed. Also, Edge offers a convenient user experience. I use Linux, of course.

I used to be a Firefox guy, but it was kinda becoming lacking in features I wanted in a browser, that's when I found Vivaldi. When it comes to features, it's the best I found so far (tab grouping, page tiling, built in mouse gestures, the customization, the ability to take screenshots of entire webpages), but the performance is stil definitely lacking, especially with Youtube where it tends to randomly hang for seconds. Dunno if they'll ever fix that since it's been going on for months now.

I've always used Firefox, and I use it on Mint. I like that I can. pretty much customize it to what suits me best. As far as speed goes, I have pretty good internet speed, and don't see any, meaningful, difference between them. I do have Brave downloaded on one of my laptops, and do use it occasionally, but Chrome, and pretty much anything associated with Google, or MS, leave a really sour taste in my mouth. And before you say it, I do understand that Brave is just based on Chrome, but still.
So, my go to is Firefox. I don't really have any major complaints, although I'm not to happy when they update it and any extension I have loaded has to be reconfigured or doesn't work the same as in previous versions (Open In Sidebar, being one of them. Probably one of my favorite extensions). I'm kind of a minimalist, don't like clutter or nonessential buttons/tabs on my browser. I like only what I use, and if I need it I can add it later, and if I don't need it, there is no room for it; just takes away space for what I do like and need.
What I'm not sure of though, is you say is you have problems with all of them in one sense or another. I'm curious on what your perfect browser would be?

[Jekubman]

I mostly use Vivaldi and sometimes Firefox. Opera used to be my main browser until a few years ago, but stopped using it because of its new owners.

I normally use the Brave Browser on Arch Linux, but I also installed the Edge Browser as a sideline and it's actually 20 points faster than Brave with the identical extensions. Funny that a browser from Microsoft is so fast on Linux.

[me_uzair]

At last one honest review I got in years about these benchmark tests. I have used and checked almost all of the browsers myself because articles on internet shows edge as fastest almost everywhere. Great work Chris 👍
Keep up these kind of honest review that's why I follow and like your channel. ✌️

Firefox has some compatibility issues, and its PDF text search has a 7-year-old bug in it that causes it to miss matching text.

Brave lacks autoscrolling on Linux, and extensions cannot fully restore it. Brave also lacks persistent user agent spoofing without extensions (many of which are horribly outdated), though your OS might come with settings to reduce the amount of info the browser can reveal about your system.

The best privacy does still come from Firefox, but I go with Brave because it’s a bit less annoying.
