I’m currently using firefox and thinking of switching, would love some more features and a better aesthetic, but I’m interested in what others are using!
Chrome. ~pls don’t hurt me~
I’m afraid I have to hurt you, sir
anything specific that firefox lacks that is keeping you on chrome?
Not the one you replied to but I’m also on Chrome. Haven’t found a good reason to switch.
Adblocking isn’t a good reason to switch?!
I’ll be honest, not a lot of pros to using Firefox if you don’t care about using the best adblocker (uBlock origin). That said, if you haven’t tried it recently, you should give it a shot. I would recommend installing uBlock Origin and Dark Reader (if you like your pages dark) for the best experience.
It’s not as fast as Chrome (not noticeable on newer devices) but I personally disagree with giving Google so much power over the web, so I’m ideologically opposed to using anything based on Chromium or not open source, so my options are limited.
Total cookie protection.
Ublock origin.
Breaking the google monopoly to prevent enshitification.Each of those on their own is a good enouh reson imho. But with all 3 firefox is a slam dunk ;)
Firefox + the following addons:
TWP
uBlock origin
Dark Reader
Consent-o-maticHow has your experience with Content-O-Matic been? I noticed mixed reviews.
Have you tested any alternatives for handling gdpr pop-ups?
uBlock has an “EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices” filter that you can enable on both desktop and mobile, which is probably enough for most people.
Sometimes it works but simetimes it still has issues.
I’m on “I still don’t care about cookies”. As opposed to Consent-o-matic, it doesn’t attempt to opt-out, which makes it more reliable, but you want to use it together with Cookie AutoDelete.
Is TWP “Translate Web Pages”? Android Firefox has a built-in feature for that, since like this version or so. 🙃
Yep.
But I like that better as I can summon it by my own will and feel like it can translate some pages better than others (detection is a bit spotty)
Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use
I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that’s what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I’m not sure what changes I’d like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons.
What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I’m always interested in hearing about other good ones.
uBlock Originis the main oneSearch by ImageandWeb Archivesare two others that I like to have on mobileI’d love to learn some more as well :)
Cool, thanks.
Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I’m pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.
I switch between Firefox and Brave, I use Brave because it works a lot better with YouTube.
It blocks ads really well, and the background play works nicely. YouTube is quite clunky in Firefox compared to Brave
I use the Video Background Play Fix extension in Firefox for Android
Firefox for the add-ons, sync, and other features, but I have set Firefox Focus as the default that most apps open pages in. From there I can open pages in regular Firefox if I need or want to. Firefox Focus acts as a sort of default private browsing mode.
I have to keep using Firefox for the mobile add-ons and because my account is synced with my desktop browser. I’m not willing to switch unless a better desktop/mobile pair comes along.
I"ve been using Fennec as my default.
Zen Browser, which is based on Firefox. Has few neat features like split view
It’s not available on Android.
I like Zen though
I’ll get killed here.
Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.
I’m using Vivaldi.
firefox, because ublock origin and sync with my desktop pc: same bookmarks on both and sending tabs to other device when i need to.
Mull and Vivaldi.
Exactly my same combo with Vivaldi a Chromium backup
Mull (Firefox)
Firefox, it has ublock origin
