librewolf on PC, Mull on my android.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Same here. Couldn't be happier with those two.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Firefox across mobile and desktop. Tried some more obscure browsers, but keep coming back to Firefox.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.

Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox. And I even installed Thunderbird again after all these years, since they are going to have a UI refresh this summer. It's a very nice nostalgic feeling to once again use a local email client.

If the new theme is good, it's going to be a keeper. :)

Historically Firefox but I've recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

firefox on android has ublock origin and when google kills support for what lets adblockers work, apps like brave that are based on chromium will stop working

I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

@Bicyclejohn Firefox, whatever version is default on LM๐Ÿ˜E, with containers, NoScript and Ublock for privacy purposes

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox wherever I can will continue to do so in the forseeable feature. Why? Because Firefox is currently the biggest actor in FOSS web browser space. It makes most sense to support them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Firefox + Librefox on a PC, Brave on my phone. At worka Firefox as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Firefox and Firefox.

I also use qutebrowser on one machine and I've been using Pulse which is a Firefox fork that is rather nice.

Honestly I'm just stick of all the Chromium browsers out there - stop giving Google such a massive lead in everything.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

mull on mobile and firefox on desktop, ungoogled chromium if i really have to.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I've flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I went and checked and have discovered I'm the resident browser hipster.

Ecosia.

It's a reskinned version of chrome or chromium or something where your default search engine is Ecosia. The Ecosia search engine is just Bing reskinned and the ad revenue you generate goes towards planting trees!

I've been using it for quite a while, I'm probably responsible for a couple hundred new trees at this point, if not more. They keep a running tally for you but I've used the search engine on multiple devices and haven't bothered to see if you can synch the tally across all of them.

The entire project is up to 175,500,000 trees so far.

Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@Bicyclejohn I use Firefox because of it's features and better performance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Fennic on the phone and Firefox on the desktop.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...

I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Tor browser and librewolf, but I still have firefox installed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Firefox, and have done for the past 20 years

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Good to see another grapheneos user

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

PC: Qutebrowser (nice, quick, and good native keybinds)

iOS: Ecosia (fork of Firefox app that I think is better for my use considering I use Ecosia as my search engine)

Firefox for me.

I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.

Firefox is such a great browser. I like that it allows all of the extensions and adblockers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.

Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

You will hate me for this, but I use chrome and chromium mostly on my PC. It is just easier. Chromium being less spy-y than chrome.
