Which is the Best Browser to access bitcointalk ?
What do think which browser is fast and quick and recommended for use for bitcointalk.

I don't think if there is the most advisable browser that we can use for bitcointalk because for me all browsers can be used for bitcointalk. I have tried 3 browser for bitcointalk, the google chrome, cryptotab browser and internet explorer, there are all okay nothings different with these browsers.

It will all depends on your internet connection because nothing's different with other browsers, all can be recommended as long as you have good and stable internet connection.

It's really up to each and every user.
I prefer Chrome. Others prefer Brave or more privacy oriented browsers (but beware, going through ToR is slow).
And then there's Firefox, which is quite a good choice, especially since (afaik) it's best for custom/user scripts. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148488.0

Brave browser has an ad-blocker and that helps speed up your browsing experience.

If you are having an issue with accessing Bitcointalk in your current browser, maybe you should check your device first if it is still capable or if it still compatible with the updated version of different browsers.

The last few weeks I have tried a number of browsers to access bitcointalk.org like chrome, Firefox, UCBrowser but all of them I think are the same. I dont know why lately accessing forums is very slow and makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I think the OP question also has to do with what I feel, I have looked for a solution by installing several browsers but the results remain the same. Are there other solutions?

Other than security preference. Some dont mind which browser is good to use, for me Ive just using chrome browser and sometime I am using brave, both runs the same speed. But I like Brave which has ad blocker. But there is nothing special aside from the free tokens using this browser.

There are new browser on the block. Feel free to check them out. Osiris Browser, and Boogle Browser. Both are affiliated on blockchain, lile brave you might wanna check them out.

Are these two new browsers Osiris and Boogle are similar to brave browser which give free tokens while using them and are these tow safe to use too ?
I do not want that my passwords etc are hacked by these new browsers in the market.
It will be appreciated that you give links to download both of these browsers.

Any server can access Bitcointalk it depends on your internet connection, I'm alternately using Brave, Mozilla and Chrome and all browsers works fast, but of course Brave is giving rewards to all their users, so it's popular among Bitcointalk posters.

There is no clear answer, given that the features of the site are simple and can work on any browser, but you will have difficulty dealing with it in the browsers associated with your phone because the site does not have an Android/ISO phone browser version.
So if you are talking about computers, all browsers are good enough.

I'm just using mobile device for accessing this forum and the browser I use is Google Chrome. So far so good :), I haven't yet experience any problems when it comes to browsing. The data consumption is fair as well so I recommend you try too.

Hmmm, another on my list would be UC Browser. It performs fast especially on video streaming and downloading.

Tor if you need something approaching anonymity. Firefox if you don't. Install uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, and Privacy Badger.

Google Chrome is spyware. Avoid it.

I'm using TOR browser without any problem. If I'm not wrong, with TOR, usually it would be slower but still it's okay here. If you're not giving a fuck to anonymity, use Google Chrome. That would be the best.

I guess using Internet explorer is way more boring than TOR. IE seems to be pretty slower than any other explorer. It's a pain in the ass for captcha for me.

Tor for privacy like o_e_l_e_o said, if you don't mind sacrificing a bit of speed for the privacy advantages.

With that said, Bitcointalk's forum software doesn't need much technical mumbo jumbo to work well compared to other sites you open that has so much scripts and animations running in the background to make the site look good. Just go with what browser you prefer.

Welp, good news, Bitcointalk has a captcha bypass feature! https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php

Since your focus is on how fast your browser is actually performing tasks, I think you still need to consider other factors such as your internet speed, amount of RAM, CPU, and operating system. No matter how good your browser is, if you have an old computer that has very limited resources (RAM/CPU), you won't expect good results when browsing the Internet.

If you look at the results of some research, you can see that it mostly comes down to 4-5 browsers that hold the largest share of the market. For example this research (https://www.cloudwards.net/fastest-browser/) say that Vivaldi is the fastest browser, which may be true, but again it depends on the user's configuration.

My advice is to download and test each browser and choose the one that works best for you.

I used Internet explorer for some time but then left it because IE often hangs and i have to reload the browser. Secondly it keeps on saying "Recover Web page", i don't know why ?
I am using firefox and i think it is best both in terms of privacy and also it will consume less ram in your laptop.

You don't need a fast browser to visit bitcointalk, Bitcointalk is a static page website with barely and Javascript, very little images, no videos, canvas and other resource-consuming elements. You'd better pick browser that doesn't sell your browsing history and other sensitive information to third parties. Firefox is easily the best choice here, ToR browser might be an overkill, unless you are very-very paranoid about privacy.

Come on mate who uses IE anyway. What is this? 2005?

As for Firefox, it's definitely one of those privacy-respecting ones; I don't suggest using it bare-bones though. If you really want to increase the privacy, you'd have to install some plugins like:

• uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
• HTTPS Everywhere: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/

Depends on what device you're using. On a PC it doesn't really matter. They're all much of a muchness. There are far fewer annoying things to route around on this site than most others.

On a phone then you may quickly be driven mad unless you have the right option. I tend to use the wap2 version just for browsing but if I need to use all the functions then Opera on mobile does a very good job of rescaling on the fly. I do think it's becoming increasingly spyish and spammy though.

Firefox is good but I do not have problem with Tor browser. Only in some situations, Tor browser is slow, but it do not happen too often. So it is fine for me to use it to log in my account in the forum. Take a while sometime to log in without capcha code, and it will be faster with a capcha code. However, the code should be kept safely. If not, account is under risks of hack (by bruteforce password).

I did use Vivaldi browser for a while in the past which is not the best in the browsing speed to be honest compared to google chrome so who doesn't care about popping ads and wanted the fastest browsing experience then chrome is the option.

Ive just seen the Osiris Browser in a project of Spyce. A newly launch one. But I am not sure of the details yet. While Boogle has been listed on coinmarketcap but I check their platform it works like google but the difference is you can create their own wallet and earn their coin while browsing. Here check their website. https://boogle.com (https://boogle.com), with the sound I feel like their imitating Google, but Ive seen photos of their company on Singapore as they have huge building there. Looks good and has potential, the speed of the browser is also not bad if you compared to existing one.

I always use firefox browser when accessing bitcointalk and I haven't problem with it. There are many browsers out there that you can use and it depends on you what browser you will use. They are right there is no best browser that you can use to access bitcointalk forum anytime you want.

I mostly just use the mobile phone's browser when I use my mobile phone and google chrome/firefox when on a desktop. I do notice that some browsers are very slow to load a site compare to other browsers. I suggest to use browsers that are suggested here and choose what browser suits your taste or satisfied with it.

Any browser is fine except for Tor which most people complain that it's slow.
On mobile, I mostly use Google chrome, but I use both firefox and chrome on PC. Anyone my cursor clicks on on first  ;D. I use both of this because of the website extensions(plugins).

In good conditions, of the Internet connection generally and the forum's operation status in particular, Tor browser works well. When Internent connection is bad or the forum's operation status is bad, don't use Tor browser. The browser can make you feel uncomfortable if you can not surpass captcha code but if you want to go through it smootly, you can use capcha code to log in. It will make your life better with Tor browser but the code has to be kept as safely as possible. Losing it to the others will result in your account lost/ hacked.

Many people use Chrome but if you are seriously about your privacy, don't use it.

I often use Google chrome to access bitcointalk and many other websites, before everything was fine until recently I felt the access was very slow and did not find a specific cause. Perhaps the plague made the internet connection slow.

I used Brave Browser for browsing bitcointalk as well as other site. Basically, Brave is the modified version of Google Chrome because google chrome is an open-source software. So if anyone using chrome, they can try this one because all functionality are same and there are some other features to use in brave . Like Brave hast "Ad-blocker"( though firefox also has this one),  "Tor Window" option, also there is an inbuilt wallet just like metamask which also can be used for crypto related any transections. Those who are aware of their privacy, they can definitely check this out. By the way, all other browsers are good as well becasue i use all the browsers like google chrome, firefox, Cryptotab and yandex  :D

I use kiwi on android, just cause it supports extensions, and we have many.

For desktop you can use literally any.

(wow, that rhymes well)

I think any browser is good for opening this forum.
I only used a few internet browser so far and i haven't faced any issue I guess it would only depend on our internet connection.
I used to access the forum on different internet cafe back then so I would use any internet browser that they have.

Any browser works well with the forum, but for many, browser selection depends mainly on the level of anonymity of the browser. As I understand it, most use Mozilla Firefox or Tor because the anonymity level of these browsers is higher than the others.

Any server can access Bitcointalk it depends on your internet
Bitcointalk is a static You'd better pick browser that doesn't sell your browsing history and other sensitive information to third parties. Firefox is easily the best choice here, ToR browser might be an overkill, unless you are very-very paranoid about privacy.  Firefox is good but I do not have problem with Tor browser. Only in some situations, Tor browser is slow, but it do not happen too often. So it is fine for me to use it to log in my account in the forum.

as long as a browsers user is update there will be no issue using any, it depends on the users taste of an interface in a browser,
every browsers has its own characteristics , and features so it will solely on the users choice, keep in mind that in my experience sometimes
chrome sometimes hangs, if you are opening multiple sites and in a lots of tabs, while mozilla sometimes unexpectedly closes, but as long as you are updated, you may experience this minimally, but they are the browser most user use.

I use Chrome and it works well for me. It is the internet speed that affects not the browser.

If you have got answer to your query, please lock this thread. @OP

I used TOR that's browser based on firefox. but i have problem access bitcointalk if circuit guard connecting into rusia.

I already tasted in many bowser and The result is positive for Google Chrome browser because in this browser you can access Bitcointalk fastest way and it is also very secured browser which provides huge protection from phishing sites.

Chrome is one of the least secure browsers when it comes to phishing. It obviously defaults to Google as a search engine, which is infamous for displaying ads at the top of search results from anyone who is happy to pay, including phishing sites and scammers, without vetting them for authenticity in the slightest. Just look at the number of topics in this board regarding phishing sites showing up at the top of Google results. If you want protection from phishing, then you are better off using Firefox with uBlock Origin installed, and DuckDuckGo, SearX, or similar as a search engine. And that's all without mentioning the fact that Chrome spys on and tracks all your online activity and sells that information to third parties.

The worst browser you can ever think of using is opera mini or uc browser. This two browser has loading problem of btt. I highly recommend chrome and Firefox to access btt fully

I would use Brave browser or something like Firefox browser with privacy modified settings.
Tor browser is also an option if privacy is most important thing for you.

Opera is okay, however uc I agree with, if you are privacy conscious you should stay miles away from it.

They encrypt the traffic through their proxy and due to this site not using a mobile-friendly design by default it might look ugly there. If you use these 2 browsers better use it for anonymous browsing (no log in etc) only. That being said, Opera has no compression option on their newest browser though.

Does UC snoop alot on privacy, just like Chrome?

I used them some years ago when they claimed to be super fast with ad blocking.

Any browser would do, but since we love crypto, we support the product of crypto, and with that I am already using BRAVE BROWSER.
With this browser, it gives me a good experience, especially with preventing ads in any site and in youtube most especially.

After going through it, it's a good thing I've stopped using it.

Surprised how those vulnerabilities remain unpatched. This reminds me of a time I used a screen recorder (made by a Chinese developer) and later it was pulled from the Play Store because of the click frauds and privacy concerns.
