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.

Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

[-] markkdark@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.

[-] Bicyclejohn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Good to see another grapheneos user

Firefox.

I've been using it since the Phoenix days. I occasionally go to Vivaldi (which is currently my secondary browser), but currently I'm back with Firefox.

[-] excel@lemmy.megumin.org 1 points 1 year ago

I use Vivaldi, because it just has a better UI and better usability features.

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.

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.

Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.

Firefox, Epiphany web browser and midori. When I'm using windows I use Firefox.

[-] Manbart@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I like Epiphany, but I think it leaks memory or something. After running for a while it starts taking tons of memory and closing tabs doesn’t seem to release it (the computer goes back to normal when it’s closed completely though). Maybe it’s just the Fedora build, I’m not sure

There’s also Otter Browser for another WebKit based choice, but it’s pretty rough and developed slowly

[-] citizensv@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't experienced that. It's been running smoothly when I've used it.

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).

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] FarmerDrone@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

i stand corrected: i just found an incredible browser, allowing html file import and a lot more!: soul browser. Now also testing as my main browser

Firefox on PC and Android. DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now

[-] solairusrising@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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@feddit.it 1 points 1 year 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)

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.

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.

Uncensored DNS, one of my all time favourite recommendations.
