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.
And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts
That’s actually not true. There’s also Kiwi Browser
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,
No. It is already in effect for over half a year.
It won’t compleatly stop working but it makes it way more useless
Firefox gang 😎 I don’t get the hate, the browser has great for decades
Firefox on PC and Android. 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
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)
Great, occasionally have to switch search engines to get certain kinds of results but that’s true with Google as well
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.
I know all you nerds use firefox, but i’m still on the plebian chrome
Boo, not even chromium
😂 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.
I did the same, except I just switched back to Firefox this past fall. Trying to degoogle myself
You pleb! (jk)
Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.
for tree style tabs
Is there a way to turn off the top bar tabs when using the tree tabs?
You can with userchrome I am pretty sure. There’s no on/off switch though sadly for that, but it does work.
Firefox, and ill continue to use it for as long as possible. No thanks Chromium.
Firefox.
I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didn´t, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.
I use Firefox (and I’ve used it since it was called phoenix, and I’ve used the free software mozilla suit before that).
BUT I’ve been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don’t trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.
Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.
I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.
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.
It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.
Wait its going to be unsupported after?
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 FTW!
I can’t imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.
@Bicyclejohn Firefox
Is this working
I think? Are you trying to figure out if you can react to comments?
Somewhat trying to figure out why federation isn’t working on this instance and this was the first post that I could find on both my home instance in this one sorry
Firefox. after the manifestv2 deprecation was approaching for chome I packed up and switched to firefox. I rely on uBlock Origin too much to be lest stuck on a browser it doesn’t run on. also the pleasant surprise of full extension support on the nightly android version was a nice touch!
Firefox, I mean, its pretty much the default considering where we are
I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google’s efforts of gobbling up the web. I don’t see any reasons to switch.
Historically Firefox but I’ve recently been trying out Brave and really like it. I especially like brave on mobile because it automatically strips all the ads out of YouTube.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the link, makes me think about it a little more in a different light.
firefox on android has ublock origin and when google kills support for what lets adblockers work, apps like brave that are based on chromium will stop working
Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it’s been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.
