    Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

    Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

    Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

    I have changed browser maybe every five or so years, whenever I had issues with the one I’m using. I’ve been back on Firefox as primary for a couple of years now.

    Firefox.

    I’ve been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I’m back with Firefox.

    Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

    Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to “user interactions”, whatever that means.

    TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.

    I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.

    Ungoogled Chromium.

    I was looking for private browsers, and found myself astonished at how the market is saturated in Chromium-based browsers, and how every website seems to only support theses browsers, so I had to accept that Chromium will be all there is until a new big thing appears, and wound up finding a Chromium fork that seems to remove all google aspects from it. I’ve had to tweak a few things but the experience has been very smooth so far.

      Question, is there a way to silence all of Vivaldi’s updates? I’m ok with updating in the background but I had to uninstall it because it was so annoying

          Yeah, I guess I got used to other software keeping it out of sight/out of mind. At least on FF it just opens a new tab to let you know but it’s otherwise seamless so I was half-expecting the same. Maybe I’ll give it another go if I can find a solution or it’ll drive me nuts lol

    PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^

    I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.

      yo question ab firefox coming from dude who knows very little ab it, i watched a video browser tier list by eric murphy and he listed hardened firefox in S tier, do u reach hardened firefox by downloading configs for it off github? how reliable is it and do things tend to crash if u try to have many options at the same time (like an amalgamtion of stuff from different ppl in order to reached a specific desired outcome, in terms of options, security settings and look)?

    I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.

    Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).

    I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.

    I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.
