Browsers I tried yesterday (on Linux):

  • Zen: neat, but the UI is too different for my taste
  • Floorp: also neat, but features I don't use
  • Waterfox: sweet spot for me

Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven't noticed any problems with websites and haven't run into any bugs.

One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.

Bonus: Waterfox is available on Android! πŸ₯³

Try Mullvad browser, it works well in my opinion. It should be used with a VPN (i.e. shared IP address space) though.

I found waterfox on aurora store android and below this stores page it lists trackers found: Mozilla telemetry, Sentry. What is the point if it gives Mozilla the same data? Or is this not whst i think it is?

I like Zen for its different interface. I like having a built-in vertical tab bar. It's not as focused on privacy and security as Librewolf is, though.

Is waterfox independent of system1 now?

ETA: they are apparently: www.farside.link/reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/14phsyl/a_new_chapter_for_waterfox/

Same for LibreWolf.

I was thinking I should ditch android FF, too...

Is Zen still a safe bet? I’m using it currently and quite like it actually so I’m hoping it’s still a good option. I just frankly am pretty ignorant of all this browser shenanigans.

What happened to proton?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 day ago (8 children)

The creator is pro-Trump and they also recently stopped posting updates to Mastodon citing "they don't have the resources" for it, or something like that.

Correct me if I have missed something; I've got no skin in the game, I just see the drama a lot.

So weird these business guys get involved into political crap. It's gotta alienate one side or another, simply lose lose.

constructs like companies and software come and go but the individuals, the movement that strives for freedom stays the same

I’m trying out 3 different browsers atm and I think I’ll just keep all 3 and cycle though or use at different privacy settings. I will miss Firefox and not having to think about my browser. Can’t wait to watch all 3 go to shit as well.

Librewolf seems exactly the same, but it breaks Lemmy for me. It's probably a setting I didn't know to turn off.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's likely the resist fingerprinting option. It breaks many websites or those that use bot checking thing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I'll try some testing around those features.

Don't hold out on us! Which browsers?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

This thread got removed where it listed all of the things reddit collects, but we shouldn't get complacent here either. We need to check our instances.

Some of the instances do this here. This is not a 100% haven. It’s great and waaaay better, but still, check into your instances, Lemmies.

The mozilla thing seems to be mostly bad PR, but yeah...

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They took out the clause in their policy about not selling user data.

It's pretty obvious what follows that

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

https://youtu.be/-8bTquKjzos That sums it up. The definition of what counts as "selling data" changed...

I've been trying the duckduckgo browser, I think I may stick with it. No idea what to do about email

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

I've started migrating from Proton to Mailbox.org. Mailbox supports IMAP, and they have a calendar as well. https://mailbox.org/en/
