I use geh Firefox forks mull and fennec, I occasionally use vanadium. I just like privacy but tor is overkill for me

Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.
Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.
- pushka ( @pushka@beehaw.org ) 9•11 months ago
And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts
- zekiz ( @zekiz@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
That’s actually not true. There’s also Kiwi Browser
- pushka ( @pushka@beehaw.org ) 1•11 months ago
Ah yes, I think I heard of it ages ago; though it’s based on chromium so add blocking may stop working in 6-12 months,
- zekiz ( @zekiz@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
No. It is already in effect for over half a year.
It won’t compleatly stop working but it makes it way more useless
- LolaCat ( @LolaCat@beehaw.org ) 25•11 months ago
Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.
- InstructionsNotClear ( @InstructionsNotClear@midwest.social ) 22•11 months ago
Firefox on desktop and mobile. Better privacy and more trustworthy than a browser tied to a billion dollar corp.
- argv_minus_one ( @argv_minus_one@beehaw.org ) 20•11 months ago
Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:
- It’s relatively trustworthy.
- It uses the only non-WebKit-derived browser engine still in active development. Monoculture is bad.
- It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.
- XLRV ( @XLRV@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months ago
Firefox FTW!
I can’t imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.
- Poopasite1 ( @Poopasite1@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months ago
It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.
Wait its going to be unsupported after?
- argv_minus_one ( @argv_minus_one@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months ago
In Chromium and derived browsers, yes. It already doesn’t work in Safari and presumably other WebKit-derived browsers. Firefox will soon be the only browser capable of running a truly effective ad-blocking extension.

Firefox gang 😎 I don’t get the hate, the browser has been great for decades
- linear ( @linear@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 16•11 months ago
firefox.
nearly every other browser out there except Safari is just chromium with a coat of paint, and i am not a fan of monopolies.
- Dave ( @Dave@lemmy.nz ) 16•11 months ago
I use Firefox.
It’s 90% because I remember the days of Internet Explorer and how they had a monopoly and could do whatever they liked - and they did. It was pretty common to have to write two versions of code so that it would work on IE as well as other browsers.
These days Edge, Chrome, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, pretty much all the major browsers except Firefox all use the Chromium engine, which puts them in a similar position as IE were in during the 90s and early 2000s. It scares me, so I use Firefox.
- Clinodactyl ( @Clinodactyl@lemmy.ml ) 14•11 months ago
Firefox for me.
I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.
Just normal Firefox? I used to be a chrome fanboy before learning about the privacy movement
- Clinodactyl ( @Clinodactyl@lemmy.ml ) 9•11 months ago
Yeah, just regular Firefox with a few add-ons like adblockers and script blockers and such. It’s got a pretty seamless sync with Firefox on my mobile too.
You have good taste. Fox is the best browser
- wintrparkgrl ( @wintrparkgrl@beehaw.org ) 13•11 months ago
Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now
- solairusrising ( @solairusrising@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now
How is that working for you? I am thinking of switching in my quest to get out of google stuff
- AnagrammadiCodeina ( @AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it ) 2•11 months ago
Not op but I’m using DDG since many years and I feel like is continuously improving.
In case you miss google or you need a different search you can simply add !g to the search and search on google from DDG (it opens a google page)
- LlamaLover ( @LlamaLover@feddit.de ) 1•11 months ago
I tried that for quite a while but ultimately gave up. For many (technical or non-English) topics, I found no fitting result of my search on the first page.
- wintrparkgrl ( @wintrparkgrl@beehaw.org ) 1•11 months ago
Great, occasionally have to switch search engines to get certain kinds of results but that’s true with Google as well
- goblingreen ( @goblingreen@lemmy.ml ) 13•11 months ago
I know all you nerds use firefox, but i’m still on the plebian chrome
- Hagarashi8 ( @Hagarashi8@sopuli.xyz ) 7•11 months ago
Boo, not even chromium
- fluffman86 ( @fluffman86@lemmy.ml ) 5•11 months ago
😂 I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can’t use chrome anymore.
- solairusrising ( @solairusrising@lemmy.ml ) 5•11 months ago
I did the same, except I just switched back to Firefox this past fall. Trying to degoogle myself
- Lemminary ( @Lemminary@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
You pleb! (jk)
- Kerrangutan ( @Kerrangutan@lemmy.one ) 13•11 months ago
Firefox, and have done for the past 20 years
- YoTcA ( @YoTcA@feddit.de ) 12•11 months ago
Firefox. Fascinating what a bubble of Firefox user is active here. Should be way different with most statistics show a lot more chrome users.
Lemmy and the fediverse contain ore tech savvy people. Surprised its not hardened Firefox
- AnomanderRake ( @AnomanderRake@lemmy.ml ) 12•11 months ago
I just use Vanilla Firefox, I use chrome for work but all my personal stuff on Firefox, left chrome after there was talk of stopping ad blockers.
- PrivateNoob ( @PrivateNoob@lemmy.ml ) 12•11 months ago
PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^
I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.
- Communist ( @Communist@lemmy.ml ) 4•11 months ago
I just wish they’d add all the extensions to firefox android… and i’d like card style tabs too but i can live without them.
- PrivateNoob ( @PrivateNoob@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
Definitely agreed, but at least they provide you with the essentials.
- Communist ( @Communist@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
It’s kinda weird to me that they still haven’t added an oled theme, now that I think about it.
- PrivateNoob ( @PrivateNoob@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
Oh, really? Damn you’re right, I absolutely forgot about it. XD
- bruhsoulz ( @bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
yo question ab firefox coming from dude who knows very little ab it, i watched a video browser tier list by eric murphy and he listed hardened firefox in S tier, do u reach hardened firefox by downloading configs for it off github? how reliable is it and do things tend to crash if u try to have many options at the same time (like an amalgamtion of stuff from different ppl in order to reached a specific desired outcome, in terms of options, security settings and look)?
- GissaMittJobb ( @GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml ) 12•11 months ago
On desktop: Firefox On Android: Firefox
The extension support is the killer feature, and the open source+supporting a diverse web ecosystem is a close second.
- terevos ( @Terevos@lemmy.ml ) 7•11 months ago
I’m Firefox on desktop and Android as well.
For me, I care about privacy and tracking. I use Unlock Origin, which imo is the best ad block and tracker system.
Mozilla is also non-profit FOSS, so I trust them far more than other browser makers.
- crisisingot ( @crisisingot@beehaw.org ) 3•11 months ago
AdBlock and privacy blockers on mobile are a lifesaver
