Perplexity AI Search in Firefox
On desktop, Firefox now includes Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine built into the browser. Perplexity delivers direct, conversational answers to complex questions, helping you get quick summaries, accurate references, or creative inspiration without digging through multiple sources. It’s rolling out worldwide from the address bar via the unified search button.
Again I must go into my 100+ line firefox configuration and remove this shit.
Vanadium is.... fine? It has a lot of security hardening and a little privacy stuff, but inadequate ad blocking and no extensions. The best choice for a general browser on Android is IronFox, a hardened Firefox distribution. I save Vanadium for sites that need Chrome.
I use Ironfox too ever since it was mull browser but people often bring up vanadium with details on how firefox on android is lacking compared to desktop. The ad thing sucks but I would have liked it as an option for android webview. I do use cromite webview though.
