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?

    I have been using Zen-Browser as my main desktop browser for around almost a year (I think). Initially just wanted to give it a try because it has nice vertical tabs that aren’t clunky or just an extension. It also looks better (imo) than most of the other FF-forks that I have tried.

    On Android I use FF since it isn’t Chrome/Chromium and most importantly can turn on basically “Dev Mode” in a similar way that you enable Dev Mode in Android. This allows you to install all normal extensions that you can on desktop FF. Even if that wasn’t an option, uBO is installable (unlike basically every Chromium-based option). Really really helps going to websites while on my phone or tablets not feel like a complete downgrade compared to just turning my desktop on.

    There are some Chromium and FF forks for Android that do allow some extensions, just not a lot to pick from. And I don’t want to use Chromium stuff since it further pushes sites to pull an IE and code sites to work only for Chrome/Chromium.

    Librewolf on desktop and IronFox on mobile (GrapheneOS) for daily browsing. I also use Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser on desktop for particularly sensitive browsing.

    Firefox because I just installed Nix and can’t figure out how to make anything else work 😂

    Usually I go with a firefox fork. Waterfox previously, almost since it first came out. But I’ve been hearing a lot about Floorp for a while now and I think sometime soon my brain might stop screaming “you CAN’T install that! it’s called FLOORP!” and let me try it. I’ve tried Librewolf but it’s a hassle to configure so it doesn’t break every website (not a criticism, I like that it does that by default, but it’s a hassle)

    Librewolf is my daily driver. Ironfox on mobile. If I have to use a Chromium based browser, then I use Brave.

    Kagi as my search engine in case you were wondering 👀

    Mostly vivaldi, occasionally firefox on desktop. I wish we had more options with better longevity.

    Using many. Firefox, waterfox, librewolf, Vivaldi, k-meleon and…errr…well…edge. On win, Linux and android.

    I switched to Chrome about 10 years ago because Safari was buggy and lost all my tabs one time too many. Also it made it easier to move between platforms. Still using it now. The main thing I wish it had is a visual tab overview like Safari does.

    LibreWolf is Firefox without the bullshit.
