What browser are you using and why?

If it works, it's only Tor over VPN. VPN over Tor is still only possible with Eddie so far.

Google Chrome. It's fast and customizable

I have been considering trying out "ungoogled chromium", but I do not have any experience in building programs from source code. Normally I just use the Debian repositories and APT commands to install or remove programs.

Can anyone give me any pointers there? I read the instructions but it is pretty much greek to me. 

It doesn't seem like Debian has a repo that I can put in sources list and just use APT commands. 

I did like the Brave browser but for whatever reason it no longer works. It just won't open.

And it's not necessary, there are binaries. The disadvantage is that you have no automatic way of updating for now unless you use Arch or a derivative and can use the Arch User Repository.

I could've sworn I read a few things around here about Brave. I remember that the devs started to unblock some ad domains or something like that, not sure anymore, which made me slightly sceptical.

I saw that and tried installing using the binaries using the gdebi and it gave me errors and wouldn't work. 

I might try again over the weekend.

Which errors? If there are dependencies missing, you can install them with

sudo apt-get -f install

So far Brave has been my favorite web browser, but I am always looking at different privacy focused browsers for fun. 

I came across Iridium, but I haven't tested it yet. 

What do you guys think?
