Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?
Using many. Firefox, waterfox, librewolf, Vivaldi, k-meleon and…errr…well…edge. On win, Linux and android.
LibreWolf for daily personal, Mullvad Browser most private check EFF tests coveryourtracks.com or TOR, Brave mobile tweaked.
Librewolf on Linux and Orion on iOS, fennec on android
Firefox.
LibreWolf is Firefox without the bullshit.
Librewolf and water Fox are the best Firefox alternatives.
Tor Browser (daily driver) because I really hate surveillance capitalism. I have fallbacks but rarely need them. Can recc LibreWolf and Ungoogled Chromium.
Zen, I don’t remember why I picked it
Things that I really like about Zen:
- New tab URL input, it’s a dialog overlay
- Tabs opening as the first instead of the last in the sidebar
- the tab sidebar
- opening external links is magic, they open in an overlay with the option to expand in a tab. This is probably my favourite, because often I need to open a link from an email, do one thing, then go back to the email. This feature keeps me in the context of what I was doing.
yeah I like these features too
LibreWolf on desktop, IronFox on Mobile.
Zen on desktop Vanadium on mobile
@Turd_Ferg PC (Linux): Librewolf for some things (fediverse, news outlets, mail providers, etc), Waterfox for other things (especially sites/platforms where I need to write Portuguese, because Librewolf’s “Resist Fingerprinting” breaks accent keys), upstream Firefox for more mainstream things (government services), as well as Lagrange for Gopher and Geminispace.
Smartphone (Android): Fennec, with native Chrome active against my will for WebViews from certain apps (governmental and banking apps, for example) that require Chrome For My Security™.
It’s been a while since I ditched Chromium-based browsers, although Firefox has some Chromium things inside its code. I’m waiting for whatever browsers that could bring third-party browser engines besides Chromium and Firefox-engine (yeah, there are Pale Moon, Basilisk, Safari/Webkit, among other browsers which are neither Chromium nor Firefox-based, but I’m talking about a browser as compatible as possible with features such as WebBluetooth, WebGL, WASM and other things as they can prove useful for personally-developed projects/self-hosted services).
Super informative, thank you
til of waterfox and fennec; thanks for the reply.
Firefox on both Android and Linux
Safari. It’s really good! :D
I just switched back to Brave after using Firefox for a couple years. I switched away from Brave over the Manifest V3 thing but it turns out they’re preserving compatibility with V2 extensions and their built-in shields have gotten pretty good at blocking most things without even needing uBO. I had lots of little issues with Firefox that are like known-issues that have been around for years or things I haven’t been able to find solutions to, so I was glad to switch back. Brave isn’t perfect either, but.
Librewolf, Ungoogled Chromium flatpak for anything that doesn’t work in Librewolf, and Fennec on Android
I use zen browser. It has some quirks, but overall the best browser I have found. At least for me.
