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?

    Tor Browser (daily driver) because I really hate surveillance capitalism. I have fallbacks but rarely need them. Can recc LibreWolf and Ungoogled Chromium.

    @Turd_Ferg PC (Linux): Librewolf for some things (fediverse, news outlets, mail providers, etc), Waterfox for other things (especially sites/platforms where I need to write Portuguese, because Librewolf’s “Resist Fingerprinting” breaks accent keys), upstream Firefox for more mainstream things (government services), as well as Lagrange for Gopher and Geminispace.

    Smartphone (Android): Fennec, with native Chrome active against my will for WebViews from certain apps (governmental and banking apps, for example) that require Chrome For My Security™.

    It’s been a while since I ditched Chromium-based browsers, although Firefox has some Chromium things inside its code. I’m waiting for whatever browsers that could bring third-party browser engines besides Chromium and Firefox-engine (yeah, there are Pale Moon, Basilisk, Safari/Webkit, among other browsers which are neither Chromium nor Firefox-based, but I’m talking about a browser as compatible as possible with features such as WebBluetooth, WebGL, WASM and other things as they can prove useful for personally-developed projects/self-hosted services).

    I just switched back to Brave after using Firefox for a couple years. I switched away from Brave over the Manifest V3 thing but it turns out they’re preserving compatibility with V2 extensions and their built-in shields have gotten pretty good at blocking most things without even needing uBO. I had lots of little issues with Firefox that are like known-issues that have been around for years or things I haven’t been able to find solutions to, so I was glad to switch back. Brave isn’t perfect either, but.

    I use zen browser. It has some quirks, but overall the best browser I have found. At least for me.

    On Linux, I’m using Firefox as my main browser and Vivaldi as my secondary browser.

    On android, some of my devices have Firefox, some of them have Fennec F-Droid and the devices that don’t have very much storage space have Via Browser. If you’re wondering why I have both Firefox and F-Droid’s Fennec, it’s because I used to just use Fennec but then at some point F-Droid announced that Fennec was outdated and it was missing several security updates that were present in Firefox. I switched to Firefox on the devices I use browsers on more actively but I didn’t see a reason to switch all of them.
