Firefox, something Firefox based or something entirely other?

    Firefox because nothing has blocked ads as well as Ublock Origin has. DNS is for other apps but for browser Firefox has been king.

      Ublock origin – best ad blocker

      Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

    Firefox, with ublock origin and yt high definition plugins, so I can have a decent yt player. I have disabled/hide chrome, I have no need for it.

    Fennec, which is a Firefox clone, and I use it because it allows (allowed) me more customization than the default Firefox.

      This: Fennec has better security configuration than Firefox about:config settings in regards to telemetry and whatnot.

      Mull is also great! Even more secure and better at stopping phoning home, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Though, Mull tends to break quite a few websites. I use Mull, and switch to Fennec selectively when Mull doesn’t work

    firefox for most things. Chrome for my banking. The banking app refuses to run on my unrooted phone, because I have apps from f-droid installed, and I have a custom keybooard. And their site only works in chrome. Fuck hsbc

      You can change the source of installation to Play Store by using this adb command: adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r "path to apk"

        would be cool, but it won’t solve the whole problem. Apps like kde connect need accessib ility permissions to sync notifications with the desktop, for example. It won’t run if any unknown app has those. (like, my custom keyboard compiled from source)

    Mull, which is based on Firefox, but removes all the telemetry and stuff. I forget why I chose it over other versions of Firefox. Someone here on Lemmy recommended it.

    Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc
