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.
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.
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 on Linux, Fennec on Android
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?
Zen Browser on desktop, IronFox on mobile.
Zen on desktop. Still using Firefox on android.
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
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
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.
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 on my personal devices, Chrome for work.
