    on desktop - firefox

    on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)

    for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.

    mozilla isn’t perfect and i don’t agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw

    Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

    Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

    Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

    I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.

    Firefox.

    I’ve been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I’m back with Firefox.

    Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

    Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to “user interactions”, whatever that means.

    TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.

      Question, is there a way to silence all of Vivaldi’s updates? I’m ok with updating in the background but I had to uninstall it because it was so annoying

          Yeah, I guess I got used to other software keeping it out of sight/out of mind. At least on FF it just opens a new tab to let you know but it’s otherwise seamless so I was half-expecting the same. Maybe I’ll give it another go if I can find a solution or it’ll drive me nuts lol

      I like Epiphany, but I think it leaks memory or something. After running for a while it starts taking tons of memory and closing tabs doesn’t seem to release it (the computer goes back to normal when it’s closed completely though). Maybe it’s just the Fedora build, I’m not sure

      There’s also Otter Browser for another WebKit based choice, but it’s pretty rough and developed slowly

    I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.

    Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).

    I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.

    I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.

    librewolf on the desktop. works for me. Came from vivaldi, which is too big for my old laptop setup (takes ages to load). Using fennec on android. But, recently i needed a browser for android which allows a bookmark.html file to be imported (camera froze with sync) and couldn’t find one. everything today MUST go over the sync (cloud).

      Same for me, but I’ve started using fulguris on android. I think it just uses the android webrenderer unfortunately, but it is open source.

      DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now

      How is that working for you? I am thinking of switching in my quest to get out of google stuff
