    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.

    Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

    Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to “user interactions”, whatever that means.

    TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.

      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

    I’m in web dev, so I have a bunch of browsers. My main driver on my desktop is Librewolf with a bunch of extensions that make browsing the web enjoyable at best and tolerable at worst. I use DuckDuckGo Lite as my main search engine on all my browsers.

    Other browsers I use are Brave (main browser on my mobile device). Vanilla Firefox (for web dev or logging in as Librewolf isn’t best for many aspects of web development and many sites trip up when you try to log in with LW). Ungoogled Chromium when Brave is too slow (Brave is slowest of the ones I use).

    I also read news from the Links terminal browser. Yes the original Links Browser, not Lynx, or elinks, or links2, or w3m, etc.

    I don’t use Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge. I use Safari sparingly just to be sure some of my sites are working on it. I have played around with Tor, but generally don’t have a need to set anything up on the Dark Web at the time of this writing, so yeah.

    librewolf on the desktop. works for me. Came from vivaldi, which is too big for my old laptop setup (takes ages to load). Using fennec on android. But, recently i needed a browser for android which allows a bookmark.html file to be imported (camera froze with sync) and couldn’t find one. everything today MUST go over the sync (cloud).

      Same for me, but I’ve started using fulguris on android. I think it just uses the android webrenderer unfortunately, but it is open source.

    Firefox with uBlock Origin hard mode across Android, Linux and Windows, and strong systemwide HOSTS blocking and a good DNS provider. Fallback option is Firefox profile with uBlock Origin easy mode in the rare scenario website with whitelisting subdomains will not work.

    Ungoogled Chromium is touched once or twice a year atmost.
