    On desktop I use librewolf, and occasionally vivaldi when I need to access something that requires chromium.

    On mobile I use the duckduckgo browser, which has a lot of the features built in that I would require an add-ons with firefox. I used to use fennec, but it had the problem of being bloated with all of the default options on desktop like the sign in, which I do not like, and at the same time being anemic with only like 5 add-ons.

    Also, fennec really annoyed me by hijacking anything that required a browser, even if one was built into a program I was using, or was a secondary option. I had the most annoying time trying to sign into SoundCloud, until I finally deleted fennec and I was presented with a normal, native login screen.

      Why Vivaldi over something like Brave or Ungoogled Chromium for your odd thing that requires it?

        Honestly that would be better. I use Vivaldi out of pure convenience. It is in my package manager as a native app. Brave is awkward, only through flatpak, which I don’t mind but not a first choice. I am hesistant to use anything that pushes cryptocurrency. I would rather outright pay for a browser than look at advertisements.

        The odd thing is actually the Peterson Strobe Tuner app, and I guess it needs chromium for direct access to the hardware.
