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?
Firefox for Linux and Android
Firefox until there is consensus about which is the correct replacement. In FOSS, dispersion is dangerous.
Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android
LibreWolf, IronFox
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.
Firefox. Fast and light as usual. I see people say it isn’t and I just don’t get it.
Linux, compared to chromium its the same speed, but with better features of course.
Vivaldi because I want to support EU based products. It has a good feature set.
Vivaldi for years now. I’m genuinely surprised it doesn’t get more attention. Its tab management is god tier.
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.
Floorp for pc and fennec for mobile
I use exactly the same browsers as you, can recommend.
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
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?
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?
https://www.waterfox.net/blog/a-new-chapter-for-waterfox/ - looks like that isn’t the case any more. Good news!
It is not anymore as far as I know, right?
it hasn’t been since 2023
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.
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
Cachy browser since its the default browser on my OS and was too lazy to change. Before that, i used Floorp
