I used to play around with a lot of internet browsers and executed on top of that scripts in greasemonkey, add-ons, plug-ins, ... . But the trustworthiness of these things were not clear for me anymore. So now I'm at using Edge Chromium. Better the devil you know 🙂

The time for everyone to do that was 10 years ago. It's too late, Chromium won. I'm pretty sure even manifest v3 isn't going to kill it's market share when it finally drops.

How is brave compared to firefox in terms of privacy? If they are at least equal brave should be better because chromium-based browsers should have better compatibility on most websites.

Al my passwords are in google. I just don't have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.

Firefox is alright, it served me adequately after Opera got sold off, but Vivaldi is so much better.

Even though it's based on a fork of chromium Vivaldi has an extremely strong focus on innovation as well as privacy, they've commited themselves to working around Mv3 for instance and their in-built ad-blocker is absolutely top notch but you can also install uBlock Origin to work with it in tandem on their desktop browser if you want.

And even though it's extremely feature rich, with speed dial, ad-blocker, password vault and side bar being some of their out of the box features all their power user functions are opt in through the settings where you can choose to stack your tabs vertically or enable mouse gestures (couldn't live without these) and a whole bunch more, it really offers everything you could think of and probably a whole bunch more.

This is a funny take on internet privacy. You do you. I'm sure you've already left multiple footprints all over the place, thus making this post flawed and irrelevant. Your info, whatever it may be, is already out there.

Using “Now” in the title linking an article from 3 years ago 💩

If you truly value privacy you'll use mullvad vpn and tor browser?

Firefox on Android is just not good enough. Mostly slow and glitchy, last time I checked a few months ago. And at least one website wouldn't load the mobile version properly. In fact, I'm still struggling to find a really good browser for mobile.

I'll keep using the browsers that serves me the best, and it's not FF. Thank you for your concern.

If only Firefox wasn’t so slow and such a terrible developer experience. Oh, and my bosses don’t give a fuck about Firefox so I’d have to retest in Chrome/Safari anyways.

Lastly Mozilla sucks. Like wtf are they doing over there? They put all their effort into shitty product they kill faster than Google does. Then they turn around and half-ass their browser while taking money from Google to make it the default search. Mozilla sucks and Firefox leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been using firefox wince forever, never really cared about privacy tbh…i just like it 🤷🏼‍♂️

What’s the real concern about privacy anyway? I mean google (gmail) and apple (iphone) already know more about me than my family…

Chromium should be gucci though

Chrome just werks

Firefox is starting to crack. I get these stupid refresh your browser things on my servers and all these sign in pop ups. Firefox used to just be a browser.

I don't understand what's wrong with tracking me for advertising. If I have to see ads they might as well be something I might be interested in. Google can give more relevant search results. Things cost less. What are the downsides to selling my information to advertisers?

I understand how tik tok can be used for cyber warfare so I don't use that. I don't know what china can do with millions of people's personal information. Chrome doesn't collect nearly as much data as tik tok.

My dual core Celeron laptop tells me you should go fuck yourself and your slow browser

Nah. The real advice here is use uBlock Origin and control your cookies. Both Chrome and Firefox contains things that go against user privacy.
