I'm currently using firefox and thinking of switching, would love some more features and a better aesthetic, but I'm interested in what others are using!

Firefox + the following addons:
TWP
uBlock origin
Dark Reader
Consent-o-matic

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Is TWP "Translate Web Pages"? Android Firefox has a built-in feature for that, since like this version or so. 🙃

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yep.
But I like that better as I can summon it by my own will and feel like it can translate some pages better than others (detection is a bit spotty)

[-] taxon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

How has your experience with Content-O-Matic been? I noticed mixed reviews.

Have you tested any alternatives for handling gdpr pop-ups?

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm on "I still don't care about cookies". As opposed to Consent-o-matic, it doesn't attempt to opt-out, which makes it more reliable, but you want to use it together with Cookie AutoDelete.

[-] sp6@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

uBlock has an "EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices" filter that you can enable on both desktop and mobile, which is probably enough for most people.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes it works but simetimes it still has issues.

[-] stardust@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.

[-] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 34 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

firefox, because ublock origin and sync with desktop/laptop pc: same bookmarks on both and sending tabs to other device when i need to.

[-] sep@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox, especialy because of extensions like ublock, and sponsor block. But also because of features like total cookie protection. Where cross site 3rdparty cookies are sandboxed for each site.

Firefox, it has ublock origin

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox. I ain't using anything else.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 21 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I'm pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.

[-] Unknown1234_5@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

I'm using Firefox too rn. I was using Vivaldi but I decided that it was time to abandon chromium.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 16 points 2 weeks ago

Mull plus uBlock and Sponsorblock addons.

[-] unrushed233@lemmings.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Since you have SponsorBlock installed, I assume you use it to watch YouTube videos? Why don't you just use LibreTube or Tubular (NewPipe fork with built-in SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike)?

[-] helmet91@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox because it works perfectly for me, and it's customizable with extensions.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use

I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that's what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/mobile-browsers/

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I'm not sure what changes I'd like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I'm always interested in hearing about other good ones.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

uBlock Origin is the main one

Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile

I'd love to learn some more as well :)

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Cool, thanks.

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I"ve been using Fennec as my default.

[-] JTskulk@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox. Everyone complains about it but it's never given me any problems. Adblock works great!

[-] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

Mull (Firefox)

[-] folekaule@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox for the add-ons, sync, and other features, but I have set Firefox Focus as the default that most apps open pages in. From there I can open pages in regular Firefox if I need or want to. Firefox Focus acts as a sort of default private browsing mode.

[-] Artemis@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Mull (available on F-Droid)...it's like a hardened version of Firefox

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'll get killed here.

Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mull & brave

[-] ByteMe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Vivaldi works so good on my phone it's insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.

[-] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm using Vivaldi.

[-] maxenmajs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have to keep using Firefox for the mobile add-ons and because my account is synced with my desktop browser. I'm not willing to switch unless a better desktop/mobile pair comes along.

I use Mull (hardened firefox) and Cromite (chromium but a bit hardened and an ad-blocker)

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Mull with plenty of extensions and changes in about:config and JavaScript off by default.

Vanadium if on GrapheneOS if more features needed (i.e. JavaScript), barring that, Mulch appears to be equivalent.

[-] occultist8128@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

firefox fork, iceraven. i got some issues in firefox that's why i'm using its fork

[-] Acamon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Can I ask what issues? I'm using Firefox but open to changing if there's better options!

[-] occultist8128@infosec.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago

i dont know if it's just me but since i updated firefox in february this year, if i close firefox with a tabs open, the tabs are gone too. i cant find the settings on it but in iceraven

Went from Firefox to Brave, because the UX is better by a longshot. Also supports accountless sync.

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

Kiwi browser! It's the best!! Built in ad blocker, privacy respecting, can use extensions, very customizable, and so much more!

Firefox for general use. TOR browser (Firefox) for everything else. Privacy, security, and ad blocking are paramount.

[-] 0x30507DE@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Iceraven (firefox fork that lets me do more with it) and Mull.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I use chrome (because of work) Firefox and duckduckgo.
