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
Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android
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.
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?
Floorp for pc and fennec for mobile
I use exactly the same browsers as you, can recommend.
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
Zen on desktop. Still using Firefox on android.
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
Zen Browser on desktop, IronFox on mobile.
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, both on desktop and Android.
If there is a good alternative that’s both available on Linux desktop (Fedora) and Android… AND can install uBlock origins (without manifest 3 limitations) then I’m all ears.
