I’m reading that Firefox has gone all AI and corporate and Brave is supported by Satan. I have a Lenovo 14 Gen 1 coming tomorrow and I’m putting Mint on it. What browser do you all like?

Librewolf is what I always use.

[–] Durandal@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

LIbrewolf will basically be a 1:1 for firefox, minux the bs, if you want to stick with that. They keep a newer codebase than waterfox.

Vivaldi I generally like, though I had some issues on my linux install... but 50/50 it was something I was doing specifically. It's a solid browser.

I keep Helium around for when I just need a plain vanilla chromium browser because sometimes you do for some sites.

For me, Librewolf had some buggy things and my banking app had trouble and so on. Vivaldi with all blocks ON works with everything. I am running Vivaldi everywhere, even on my phone.

Using waterfox on both mobile and desktop with ublock, great times.

My current setup is Waterfox on mobile with ublock and blokada then Vivaldi on desktop. It's been great.

I am liking Vivaldi right now

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I am considering that. Haven’t tried it yet. Thanks.

I use different browsers depending on how much data I have to give up.

Librewolf/self hosted Searxng with noscript, libredirect, ublock, chameleon, and a bunch of about:config settings is my standard "I just wanna find some info, everybody get out of my way".

Firefox /DDG Lite with AI disabled for "I gotta login to something goddamn it".

And Ungoogled Chromium/DDG Lite for "That damn developer on that one site is lazy/hates Firefox, what an asshole."

I have similar on Graphene OS sort of, except it goes Ironfox, Vanadium, and Chromium.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lol, thanks

Firefox with a few addons like ulock,AdBP, night mode, Ghostery, video downloader

[–] Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Firefox ESR, but that wasn't installed by default and I'm not in the mood to browser hop so I'm settling for just straight Firefox.

[–] network_switch@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have Firefox and Waterfox installed. No strong feelings either way. I just like having numerous browsers

[–] winni@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Librewolf, for incompatible web pages epiphany (banking page does not work for me on librewolf)

[–] lucaspeed@mastodon.uno 1 points 3 weeks ago

@Kintarian Chromium here for connection to my organization. Librewolf for everything else.

Just using FF,have Throium installed if there is some web fuckery needing chrome and playing with Zen (based on FF)

Using latest LMDE

[–] flesh@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago

Zen. I still keep brave around for those times a website needs something chromium based to run properly.
