It depends. When I'm at work, I use Firefox, because I deal with so many web admin consoles, so I need those tabs.
However when I use the computer for personnal stuff, I prefer using surf to limit my browser usage to the bare minimum. I only browse one or two pages at a time, and I like that surf is so responsive and low on resources when I'm just coding in C or settings up stuff on my remote servers.
Forcing yourself to only use one or two browser window is a great experience IMO, as it helps you focus on one task rather than having 200+ tabs that you'll not even look at in the next 5 month. If I find something worth reading later, I grab the URL and put it in
~/.toread
or whatever.is surf usable tho, i tried it before i had some issues with it?
It is usable for me, I don't have issues.
Great to hear that I am installing Crux right now and wanted to use a simple browser, so I thought of Surf. The only thing that I am thinking about right now is how about ad blocking?
You don't have any plugins on surf. I personally use a DNS based ad blocker.
