Ironfox mobile, Librewolf desktop.
Occasionlly Vivaldi if I have to use chromium for something on rare occasion.
LibreWolf is the only right answer.
Netscape Navigator
Firefox tweaked to the point it'd really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn't already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it's important to support an engine besides chromium
Firefox mainly and some forks (Floorp, Librefox, Fennex, Ironfox) also Vivaldi
Firefox. I'm not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I'm not switching to a Firefox fork unless there's actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.
wait wait, what happened to LibreOffice? I'm trying so hard to not give microsoft money ;-;
Don't worry, this is very old news.
OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn't really do major decisions without the leaders' approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved.
Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something.
OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there's been very minimal maintenance on it ever since.
Waterfox desktop, Fennec mobile
waterfox and librewolf mainly.
links2 with -g if I am in a tty terminal.
Dillo for my super-minimalist setups.
Surprised I ly a few people has mentioned this but Zen (and Cromite on mobile)
Icecat for pc, lightning for phone
Mac and iPhone: safari. Mac secondary: mullvad. Linux: waterfox
The last switch I made was on mobile I went from Brave (for ad blocking) to Firefox since Firefox for Mobile has extensions and I found a good cookie whitelisting extension.
I use Firefox on all platforms.
Ungoogled chromium. Has no googleslop and is very fast.
its still watchin u
Firefox
Firefox. It's fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing's caused me enough pain to switch yet
!waterfox@programming.dev is literally identical to Firefox, but the AI removed
Hm maybe I'll try that. Looks like there's an android version
FireDragon based on Floorp
Librewolf
I use Librewolf almost always I try others just for comparison an fun, here are they:
-
Librewolf: I use it for its privacy defaults and because it comes with no bloat and no nonsense.
-
Konform Browser: A fork of Librewolf but based on Firefox ESR rather than the regular release and focusing in smaller settings improvements. I've talked to the developer and they are very nice and seem to fix issues rather quickly. By the looks of it I will be moving to this browser permantly.
-
Ungoogled Chromium: For testing webpages, like styles and stuff for my blog.
-
Glide Browser: Its basically the Vimium extension + BetterFox. It's stil in early developement and it looks promising. I prefer Librewolf settings better than Betterfox so this keeps me from using this one.
Primary: Zen Browser.
Reserve: Edge
Zen was the beginning it was little odd but now I love it. Fast, feels great to use and no nonsense.
I can't use either Zen or Firefox at work so there I use Edge. Edge is also a nice browser, I really like the sidebar for mail and drop.
I love Zen.
I'm in the same situation with Edge at work, it's surprisingly not THAT bad. I'd probably use it over Chrome if ever the need to make that decision came up.
firefox and seamonkey on desktop
iceraven(ff fenix) or kiwi(ik it's eol) on android phone
I use many, usually Firefox.
Nice try, Stephen Fry.
Kidding.
Android smartphone: Brave
Linux desktop: LibreWolf
Windows virtual machine: Mullvad Browser
Kinda weird to use brave on Android but then use LibreWolf on Linux, no?
I don't use the sync functions on browsers amyway, so it's of no consequence. Privacy wise, Brave is already built atop degoogled chrome and the fingerprint resistance of LinreWolf and the Tor Browser derived Mullvad Browser is too good not to use. I haven't vetted any Firefox based browsers for Android yet as I have done with LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser for desktop, and Brave integrates really well with Android - as in, the user experience is great - so... XD
Firefox on laptop, and Firefox and Safari on phone
Firefox on Android and PC
Orion on iPad
Firefox, begrudgingly.
It's the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it's still a bit of a resource hog. It's just that everything else is worse.
Netscape navigator.
PSA that SeaMonkey is basically rebranded netscape suite still being updated
