LibreWolf (and Ungoogled Chromium) on Linux, Vanadium (and Mull) on phone. Parenthetical ones are what I use when my main browsers refuse to load something.
Firefox because its pre-installed on pretty much every Linux distro I'd want to try. I've used it for a long time, back in version 2.x. Then I tried out chrome for quite awhile but their pushback against adblockers made me migrate back to firefox. Haven't regretted it!
librewolf on PC, Mull on my android.
Same here. Couldn't be happier with those two.
Lmao I guess Iβll be the only person to say Safari. Itβs fast, privacy focused, and secure. I donβt care about extensions and I like the UI.
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.
Firefox + Librefox on a PC, Brave on my phone. At worka Firefox as well.
Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I've flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.
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.
Firefox across mobile and desktop. Tried some more obscure browsers, but keep coming back to Firefox.
vivaldi cus its just too gorgeous and so many things packed in face with heart eyes
I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.
Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox
mull on mobile and firefox on desktop, ungoogled chromium if i really have to.
I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.
Firefox most of the time, portable/standalone chromium for the rare occasion where Firefox doesn't work.
Firefox, Epiphany web browser and midori. When I'm using windows I use Firefox.
You will hate me for this, but I use chrome and chromium mostly on my PC. It is just easier. Chromium being less spy-y than chrome.
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.
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
Vivaldi, because it has amazing tab management.
Firefox, I've used it for years and I never quite got used to any other browsers. Plus I hate google and even forks of chrome I distrust a little since IDK how much google can get into those. Firefox works on most websites I throw at it, and whenever I have troubles I put it on safari or vivaldi as a last minute thing.
Firefox imo, gets better every day, containers, the built in pdf editor, and privacy features make it incredible. Plus you can still customize it with userchrome. I made mine look like the old australius layout from the mid 2000s with the wavefox customization.
@Bicyclejohn Firefox, whatever version is default on LMπE, with containers, NoScript and Ublock for privacy purposes
Firefox. And I even installed Thunderbird again after all these years, since they are going to have a UI refresh this summer. It's a very nice nostalgic feeling to once again use a local email client.
If the new theme is good, it's going to be a keeper. :)
Firefox and Firefox.
I also use qutebrowser on one machine and I've been using Pulse which is a Firefox fork that is rather nice.
Honestly I'm just stick of all the Chromium browsers out there - stop giving Google such a massive lead in everything.
Fennic on the phone and Firefox on the desktop.
Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)
I use Firefox wherever I can will continue to do so in the forseeable feature. Why? Because Firefox is currently the biggest actor in FOSS web browser space. It makes most sense to support them.
Firefox user here :/ The only extension that I really use is the tree based tabs, but I wouldn't mind dropping that.
Trying to push over to qutebrowser because it fits a lot better with my setup.
Didn't know mullvad had a browser though, will have to check that out for sure.
I went and checked and have discovered I'm the resident browser hipster.
Ecosia.
It's a reskinned version of chrome or chromium or something where your default search engine is Ecosia. The Ecosia search engine is just Bing reskinned and the ad revenue you generate goes towards planting trees!
I've been using it for quite a while, I'm probably responsible for a couple hundred new trees at this point, if not more. They keep a running tally for you but I've used the search engine on multiple devices and haven't bothered to see if you can synch the tally across all of them.
The entire project is up to 175,500,000 trees so far.
I just recently switched to Arc, and it is soo good. Really changing my workflow for the better. So nice to experience a product where people have opiniated ideas about how something can be done differently. It might not be for everyone, but damn its something for me.
Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...
I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.
Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.
Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.
on desktop - firefox
on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)
for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.
mozilla isn't perfect and i don't agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw
Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.
Good to see another grapheneos user
