MODERATORS
Orion
Floorp (main), Mullvad (Social media), Ungoogled Chromium (websites that break)
Librewolf and Brave for the 3 websites that don't work
I use Librewolf 90% of the time.
10% Edge (but with ShutUp10 ran over it) for HDR Youtube and if adblocking is broken on one browser at the moment.
I'm very uncomfortable with having all web browser engines owned by Americans.
Firefox. Fast and light as usual. I see people say it isn't and I just don't get it.
Linux, compared to chromium its the same speed, but with better features of course.
I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.
I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.
Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.
Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.
For android, IronFox ( from their repository that I added to F-Droid ) or I started recently using the DuckDuckGo ( also from F-Droid ) for those rare websites that don't work on IronFox ( like justtherecipe or just earlier justbeamit ).
On my laptop running Linux, I have the default Firefox, an ungoogled chromium for websites that don't work on FF, and TOR.
As for my desktop running win10 ( and definitely Linux by the end of the summer, I hope ), I have FF, Librewolf, Tor, and just recently got Mullvad VPN's browser. Probably shouldn't have that many browsers as once, but I'm an idiot.
Firefox until there is consensus about which is the correct replacement. In FOSS, dispersion is dangerous.
Firefox for Linux and Android
LibreWolf, IronFox
Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android
I use Librewolf on my PC and I use Brave on my phone (it's the only way I can use a uBlock on IOS)
Orion on iOS supports uBO too. It’s from the Kagi search engine people. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I like it a lot.
I knew that Orion supported Firefox and Chrome add-ons, but for some reason I assumed that they won't work unless it was something I could find on the iOS App store. 😅 I'm def going to add uBO to Orion, Brave's CEO is such a pos and I've always felt icky using it but there wasn't a good mobile alternative.
I won’t use Brave for the same reasons, but not having uBO was the worst part of switching to iOS until Orion released.
Vivaldi because I want to support EU based products. It has a good feature set.
Vivaldi for years now. I’m genuinely surprised it doesn’t get more attention. Its tab management is god tier.
I use Firefox, but tbh I don't know why. Chrome is usually always faster when I have tested..
I think it's def nice to give attention to the only other big browser that doesn't use chromium under the hood
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn't it?
Floorp for pc and fennec for mobile
I use exactly the same browsers as you, can recommend.
Firefox on my personal devices, Chrome for work.
Edit: on my computer only as I don't surf the web with my phone (I don't know if there is a mobile version of Waterfox)
The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn't bother you?
It is not anymore as far as I know, right?
it hasn't been since 2023
Safari for primary. Firefox for YouTube channels that I download from. Waterfox for a secondary Lemmy instance where I have another account for privacy reasons.
Mostly FF for personal stuff, Vivaldi for work stuff that expects Chrome. Actively looking for a FF replacement, though.
Zen Browser on desktop, IronFox on mobile.
Zen on desktop. Still using Firefox on android.
Tor
IceRaven on mobile mostly. Was diehard for Kiwi, but it's stopped development and is being absorbed into Edge. Tried all the current stuff, and IceRaven was the most like what I was used to.
FF and Mullvad
I’m on iOS using Orion on my iPad and Quiche on my phone
Ironfox on my phone and Librewolf on my laptop, and I shut off JavaScript in the uBlock origin options on both
Notepad.
