Librewolf - Because it's independent, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

Librewolf, though I don't really consider it a fork, more like a repackaged FireFox with sensible defaults. So far it's been great and I hope it stays around for a while.

Librewolf is a build script and build system with custom configs.

I don't know much about them, I just use vanilla and pay attention to any new features I might want to disable. I think my threat model trusts Mozilla more than these unknown third party folk.

I'm a Waterfox user.

No particular reason. It doesn't have much fluff and it works well. That's all I ask for in a browser.

Right now i’m with Floorp , but I jump from fork to fork often. I’ll probably give a shot to librewolf soon

Librewolf on Linux, Mull (not Mullvad Browser) on Android

What about the MullVad browser? I'm really liking it so far, been using it as my daily driver for a bit now, it's rad!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Its not Torbrowser but built from it. I see no place for it in my browsing behavior.

Librewolf with Cookie deletion, containers etc over a VPN makes more sense for me.

Librewolf desktop, Mull mobile.

~~What's mull mobile?~~

Mull (Privacy oriented web browser) https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Tor Browser.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

On mobile? Mull. I don't bother with forks on the desktop.

What a name 🤣

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for mentioning this. I‘ll check some out. Which one is yours?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I have Firefox, Floorp and Librewolf. They all have their perks and are solid options

Crazy shit but no, I refer to them using simply an outdated Firefox with no humanpower to reasonably maintain that while not adopting any new standard like MV2

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Currently I'm residing with LibreWolf, only recently migrated away from standard FF after Mozilla announced their ad shenanigans..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I main Mullvad on desktop and Mull for mobile. They are not related. You get used to it.

Floorp. Librewolf got too annoying having to change settings to fullscreen, set google as the default search engine, sites breaking, and all for benefits i never see.

Floorp has the convenient sidebar, side by side tabs, and it Just Works
