Original question by @Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works

Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?

IceRaven on mobile mostly. Was diehard for Kiwi, but it's stopped development and is being absorbed into Edge. Tried all the current stuff, and IceRaven was the most like what I was used to.

    Librewolf and Brave for the 3 websites that don't work

    I just curl and wget everything.

  • Mullvad Browser on desktop (Tor Browser minus Tor, developed by the Tor project)

    IronFox on mobile to replace Mull (RIP DivestOS)

    Ungoogled Chromium if a website absolutely requires Chrome

    For android, IronFox ( from their repository that I added to F-Droid ) or I started recently using the DuckDuckGo ( also from F-Droid ) for those rare websites that don't work on IronFox ( like justtherecipe or just earlier justbeamit ).

    On my laptop running Linux, I have the default Firefox, an ungoogled chromium for websites that don't work on FF, and TOR.

    As for my desktop running win10 ( and definitely Linux by the end of the summer, I hope ), I have FF, Librewolf, Tor, and just recently got Mullvad VPN's browser. Probably shouldn't have that many browsers as once, but I'm an idiot.

    Ironfox on my phone and Librewolf on my laptop, and I shut off JavaScript in the uBlock origin options on both

    Safari for primary. Firefox for YouTube channels that I download from. Waterfox for a secondary Lemmy instance where I have another account for privacy reasons.

    Firefox for Linux and Android

    Firefox until there is consensus about which is the correct replacement. In FOSS, dispersion is dangerous.

    LibreWolf, IronFox

    Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android

    I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

    I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

    The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn't it?

    Vivaldi because I want to support EU based products. It has a good feature set.

    Waterfox

    Edit: on my computer only as I don't surf the web with my phone (I don't know if there is a mobile version of Waterfox)

    The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn't bother you?

    I use Firefox, but tbh I don't know why. Chrome is usually always faster when I have tested..

    I think it's def nice to give attention to the only other big browser that doesn't use chromium under the hood

    Firefox, both on desktop and Android.

    If there is a good alternative that's both available on Linux desktop (Fedora) and Android... AND can install uBlock origins (without manifest 3 limitations) then I'm all ears.

    I use Librewolf 90% of the time.

    10% Edge (but with ShutUp10 ran over it) for HDR Youtube and if adblocking is broken on one browser at the moment.

    I'm very uncomfortable with having all web browser engines owned by Americans.

    Mostly FF for personal stuff, Vivaldi for work stuff that expects Chrome. Actively looking for a FF replacement, though.

    Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.

    Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.

    I use Librewolf on my PC and I use Brave on my phone (it's the only way I can use a uBlock on IOS)

    Orion on iOS supports uBO too. It’s from the Kagi search engine people. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I like it a lot.

    I knew that Orion supported Firefox and Chrome add-ons, but for some reason I assumed that they won't work unless it was something I could find on the iOS App store. 😅 I'm def going to add uBO to Orion, Brave's CEO is such a pos and I've always felt icky using it but there wasn't a good mobile alternative.
