I saw in one of the comment saying "We need alternative browsers." So, what are the best alternatives to Chrome, Mozilla and Opera. (lemmy.ml)

I like lagrange for browsing the web on desktop and I use deedum on my phone.

It would be prudent to mention these are Gemini protocol browsers, and don't support HTTP. Great programs though, I use them too.

I think the crux of the issue should not be just about diversifying the market share. The more important factor is that web standards are basically decided by large corporations especially Google which is what should be more democratic.

The process of Chrome dominating the browser ecosystem is more top-down than people give it credit for. No other organization or corporation can compete with Google because of ridiculous amount of capital they have. They will be playing catch-up with the web standards that Google will be implement better since they decided what they are anyways.

Konqueror, maybe ?

Opera has been based on chromium for some time now.

NetSurf is pretty good if you can sacrifice uBlock Origin and instead block tracking and ads at system HOSTS level. Without JS it becomes a comically lean experience.
