    Firefox. I'm not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I'm not switching to a Firefox fork unless there's actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.

    Firefox, begrudgingly.

    It's the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it's still a bit of a resource hog. It's just that everything else is worse (slower, lacking essential features, or most often both).

    Zen, at least until Ladybird is ready.

    A new FOSS browser made by a complete and utter asshole

    It makes me sad because initially I was so excited for Ladybird. Finally a new browser engine instead of another shitty chrome fork. Then I find out what and absolute douche canoe the developer was and killed all of my excitement.

    He moved from Sweden to Silicon Valley, made a bunch of money, but came to hate the "limousine liberal" culture, and felt he was severely discriminated against (in a professional sense) as a hetero white man.

    So he left California, got sober, and went full time FOSS developer.

    He is an asshole because he now enforces a strict "anti-woke" policy among his contributors, and bans anyone who falls out of line. It's one thing to ban controversial or political topics, but his interpretation takes things way past any semblance of reason.

    A wild one i remember was when he banned someone for using singular they in some documentation, which has been a part of the English language since the Norman period at least. He said it was "political language".

    Dang, I was not aware of any of this. A quick search pulls up a bunch of stuff. I'll look more into it for sure, but come on, can't we just have nice things?

    Yeah me too. Didn't know. Frustrated. I was hopeful that ladybird was going to save us.

    In fairness, the lemmy lead dev also has some... very strongly held ideological views incompatible with my own... yet here we are.

    I use many, usually Firefox.

  • source
  • [–] 7 points 7 months ago

    Firefox, Firefox developer edition, Firefox focus, waterfox, Fennec, and Tor

    Waterfox and Zen. I switched to Waterfox a while ago and have had no problems with it. It's basically "Firefox minus AI," which is what I wanted it to be.

    I started trying out Zen Browser a few days ago, too. It's another Firefox fork, but Zen is more willing to try new things with the UI. So far I like it.

    So it's been Waterfox on Android and Zen on desktop lately. (Zen does not have an Android version.) They both support Firefox sync, and syncing works between the two of them. Pretty cool.

    I mainly use Firefox as it's the best non-chromium browser I'm aware of for both Linux and android. But I also have Vivaldi installed on Linux for the rare cases where something doesn't work in Firefox, Waterfox on some of my older android devices because Firefox no longer supports the versions of android they run, and I also have F-Droid's Fennec on one of my phones because it used to be my primary browser on android and I just never got around to switching to Firefox on that phone.

    For anyone wondering why I stopped using F-Droid's Fennec, it's just because at some point (possibly a few years ago) they announced that their browser was outdated and missing several security features from Firefox. It's possible that the browser is fully updated now, as it does seem to be receiving updates regularly, but I currently have no reason to switch back to using it as my primary browser on android. Now, if they were to revert the UI back to previous one, I'd have a reason to use it again. I really don't care for the UI both Firefox and Fennec have currently on android.

    Floorp, a Firefox fork. It's fine, just trying it out.

    And Firefox on mobile.

    Daily driving Mullvad Browser now, it’s Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that’s the price you pay.

    LibreWolf is the only right answer.

    Firefox. It's fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing's caused me enough pain to switch yet

    I use Librewolf almost always I try others just for comparison an fun, here are they:

    • Librewolf: I use it for its privacy defaults and because it comes with no bloat and no nonsense.

    • Konform Browser: A fork of Librewolf but based on Firefox ESR rather than the regular release and focusing in smaller settings improvements. I've talked to the developer and they are very nice and seem to fix issues rather quickly. By the looks of it I will be moving to this browser permantly.

    • Ungoogled Chromium: For testing webpages, like styles and stuff for my blog.

    • Glide Browser: Its basically the Vimium extension + BetterFox. It's stil in early developement and it looks promising. I prefer Librewolf settings better than Betterfox so this keeps me from using this one.

    Primary: Zen Browser.

    Reserve: Edge

    Zen was the beginning it was little odd but now I love it. Fast, feels great to use and no nonsense.

    I can't use either Zen or Firefox at work so there I use Edge. Edge is also a nice browser, I really like the sidebar for mail and drop.

    Firefox mainly and some forks (Floorp, Librefox, Fennex, Ironfox) also Vivaldi

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 7 months ago

    Zen is my default browser, is what I use on my Desktop and my Steam deck. I also use Firefox on mobile, cause there isnt a Zen mobile.

    I use Safari on my iPad with uBlock Origin lite to watch youtube.

    If I need to use a chromium browser, I currently have Helium installed, but I will probably grab Vivaldi as a backup browser.

    I dont really have any plans to change away from Zen and Firefox, works for everything that I need, and anything that doesnt I kinda just walk away from. I also love the Zen interface and workflow.

    Mullvad on desktop rn

    Librewolf or Mullvad on desktop, Firefox on mobile. Downloaded Ecosia on mobile to try the search engine, so I’m trying out their browser too.

    Right now I use Vivaldi on my work computer. For my personal devices (MacBook, iPhone, two iPads), I've been mainly using Kagi's Orion browser for about a year. It's a WebKit browser but even on iOS it can run (some) Chrome/Firefox extensions, which I think is pretty neat. I also dabble with iCab. It's a very eccentric browser with an interesting history that goes back to the 90s.

    So far, I main Vivaldi, with a back up of Mullvad Browser when I am doing research and don't want to be fingerprinted easily!
