Ironfox mobile, Librewolf desktop.
Occasionlly Vivaldi if I have to use chromium for something on rare occasion.
I use Firefox on all platforms.
Firefox. I’m not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I’m not switching to a Firefox fork unless there’s actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.
wait wait, what happened to LibreOffice? I’m trying so hard to not give microsoft money ;-;
Don’t worry, this is very old news.
OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn’t really do major decisions without the leaders’ approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved.
Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something.
OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there’s been very minimal maintenance on it ever since.
LibreWolf is the only right answer.
Vivaldi, so far very happy with it!
How is it in terms of privacy?
I just had a quick search, I can be wrong so do not take these as facts but some parts seems to be open source and some UI parts closed, like many web browsers they get sone revenues from a start page but the owners seems very decent and advocates for internet privacy since the 1999.
Also they are based in EU which i trust way more than US servers.
Librewolf
Firefox
Firefox mainly and some forks (Floorp, Librefox, Fennex, Ironfox) also Vivaldi
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
!waterfox@programming.dev is literally identical to Firefox, but the AI removed
Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version
Ironfox on smartphone, Librewolf on desktop
Vivaldi.
Second this because, they based in the EU and ain’t adding AI. The only con is that it is not open source
I can’t close tabs and have hundreds open (I have a problem). Between their workspaces that only show specific tabs, tab stacking, and tab memory management that kills the memory of any that I haven’t used in a while so it’s not absurdly slow… I don’t think I could switch.
edit: Also, it’s EU based.
Firefox tweaked to the point it’d really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn’t already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it’s important to support an engine besides chromium
Firefox on Android, iPad and PC.
Netscape navigator.
PSA that SeaMonkey is basically rebranded netscape suite still being updated
Primary: Zen Browser.
Reserve: Edge
Zen was the beginning it was little odd but now I love it. Fast, feels great to use and no nonsense.
I can’t use either Zen or Firefox at work so there I use Edge. Edge is also a nice browser, I really like the sidebar for mail and drop.
I love Zen.
I’m in the same situation with Edge at work, it’s surprisingly not THAT bad. I’d probably use it over Chrome if ever the need to make that decision came up.
