Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?
I use Librewolf 90% of the time.
10% Edge (but with ShutUp10 ran over it) for HDR Youtube and if adblocking is broken on one browser at the moment.
I’m very uncomfortable with having all web browser engines owned by Americans.
Firefox for Linux and Android
Vivaldi because I want to support EU based products. It has a good feature set.
Vivaldi for years now. I’m genuinely surprised it doesn’t get more attention. Its tab management is god tier.
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
Firefox until there is consensus about which is the correct replacement. In FOSS, dispersion is dangerous.
The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?
Mostly FF for personal stuff, Vivaldi for work stuff that expects Chrome. Actively looking for a FF replacement, though.
Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android
Notepad.
LibreWolf, IronFox
Edit: on my computer only as I don’t surf the web with my phone (I don’t know if there is a mobile version of Waterfox)
The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn’t bother you?
It is not anymore as far as I know, right?
it hasn’t been since 2023
I use Librewolf on my PC and I use Brave on my phone (it’s the only way I can use a uBlock on IOS)
Orion on iOS supports uBO too. It’s from the Kagi search engine people. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I like it a lot.
I knew that Orion supported Firefox and Chrome add-ons, but for some reason I assumed that they won’t work unless it was something I could find on the iOS App store. 😅 I’m def going to add uBO to Orion, Brave’s CEO is such a pos and I’ve always felt icky using it but there wasn’t a good mobile alternative.
I won’t use Brave for the same reasons, but not having uBO was the worst part of switching to iOS until Orion released.
Firefox on my personal devices, Chrome for work.
I use Firefox, but tbh I don’t know why. Chrome is usually always faster when I have tested…
I think it’s def nice to give attention to the only other big browser that doesn’t use chromium under the hood
Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.
Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.
