Ask Jeeves >>>>
Ask jeeves was a search engine you gormless zoomer.

But the AI tells me that in 2005 they did consider releasing a browser based on firefox (the best browser, because I like their logo and that it has a fox in it), so in an alternative timeline the Ask Jeeves browser could have been a real dominant player in the industry.
 
The Wii Internet Channel
I used to use that Wii browser for awhile. It was neat browsing the 'nets on CRT TV, but one cannot save anything. It fills up the RAM without emptying the more one browses, until one gets out of memory errors, and then one has to quit and reload. Now, with how rapidly websites are changing, the Wii browser is probably almost completely useless.

I've used Firefox since it first came out, though nowadays you have to customize the crap out of it to remove a bunch of soy BS. Before Firefox I used Mozilla, then Netscape 6 and 7 before that. And before all of that I used Internet Explorer, but abandoned that after getting rather annoyed with how vulnerable to scumware and advertising it was.
 
Vivaldi browser has a feature where its tab color adapts to a websites theme which is cool. It's also much faster than Brave and has no crypto.
Vivaldi is just a colored goymouflage wrapping around Chrome.
