Firefox because nothing has blocked ads as well as Ublock Origin has. DNS is for other apps but for browser Firefox has been king.

    Fennec, which is a Firefox clone, and I use it because it allows (allowed) me more customization than the default Firefox.

    This: Fennec has better security configuration than Firefox about:config settings in regards to telemetry and whatnot.

    Mull is also great! Even more secure and better at stopping phoning home, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Though, Mull tends to break quite a few websites. I use Mull, and switch to Fennec selectively when Mull doesn't work

    Mull, which is based on Firefox, but removes all the telemetry and stuff. I forget why I chose it over other versions of Firefox. Someone here on Lemmy recommended it.

    Firefox because it's plugins make mobile browsing bareable. I have a folding phone so I wish that Firefox would hurry up and copy Chrome's multi window feature, and then it would be the perfect browser for me.

    I use Firefox on desktop too, but I've been experimenting with Arc the last few weeks to see what the fuss is about.

    Vivaldi mainly for desktop sync, it's chromium so it has good compatibility, PWA support, and it has ad/tracker blocking though personally I use adguard systemwide. also it's very customizable with navigation and appearance

    Cromite. It's easily the fastest browser i've used. Good baked in adblock is all I really need, and the increased performance and compatibility vs firefox is nice.

    Firefox Nightly because of the extensions, Libredirect, uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc.

    Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript.

    I don't like ads, or websites using JavaScript for anything I don't approve of, or unnecessarily.

    Firefox bc it has ublock and I think more useful extensions are on the way And I can send my tabs to all my devices very easily

    I've been using Fennec F-Droid, which is based on Firefox. I mostly use it because I want a non-chromium based browser and Firefox and it's derivatives have browser extensions on android. I chose Fennec F-Droid because, while I could be wrong, it seems to be slightly smaller and run slightly faster than Firefox.

    Firefox. It's a slow buggy mess, but it's a slow buggy mess with an adblocker.

    Firefox because I like the UI and I think chrome has gotten too dominant.

    Brave if I need to chromecast something
