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!

Vivaldi has been very good on my desktop as well as on Android. It's a chrome fork made by some people who left the Opera dev team.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Mull plus uBlock and Sponsorblock addons.

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

And Read Outlout! So handy for all these news stories on Lemmy.

Firefox, it has ublock origin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Mull & brave

[–] [email protected] 26 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 16 hours ago

Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

Firefox. I ain't using anything else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I know a lot of the current issues are about ideology and privacy. Mozilla seemingly pivoting away from fighting for privacy and into AI, supposedly most recently including integration with remote AI, including Google's, while not implementing the top feature requests... I'm personally sticking with Firefox for now, but it does make me wary.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 17 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

Mull (Firefox)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

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 :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Cool, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Tried all. Brave works perfectly on Android. No need for extra add-ons etc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I"ve been using Fennec as my default.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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

Exactly my same combo with Vivaldi a Chromium backup
