I’m currently using firefox and thinking of switching, would love some more features and a better aesthetic, but I’m interested in what others are using!
Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I’m pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.
Firefox + the following addons:
TWP
uBlock origin
Dark Reader
Consent-o-maticYep.
But I like that better as I can summon it by my own will and feel like it can translate some pages better than others (detection is a bit spotty)
How has your experience with Content-O-Matic been? I noticed mixed reviews.
Have you tested any alternatives for handling gdpr pop-ups?
uBlock has an “EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices” filter that you can enable on both desktop and mobile, which is probably enough for most people.
Sometimes it works but simetimes it still has issues.
Chrome. ~pls don’t hurt me~
Not the one you replied to but I’m also on Chrome. Haven’t found a good reason to switch.
Total cookie protection.
Ublock origin.
Breaking the google monopoly to prevent enshitification.Each of those on their own is a good enouh reson imho. But with all 3 firefox is a slam dunk ;)
I’ll be honest, not a lot of pros to using Firefox if you don’t care about using the best adblocker (uBlock origin). That said, if you haven’t tried it recently, you should give it a shot. I would recommend installing uBlock Origin and Dark Reader (if you like your pages dark) for the best experience.
It’s not as fast as Chrome (not noticeable on newer devices) but I personally disagree with giving Google so much power over the web, so I’m ideologically opposed to using anything based on Chromium or not open source, so my options are limited.
Adblocking isn’t a good reason to switch?!
I’m afraid I have to hurt you, sir
Firefox.
I’m using Firefox too rn. I was using Vivaldi but I decided that it was time to abandon chromium.
I’ll get killed here.
Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.
Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use
I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that’s what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I’m not sure what changes I’d like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head
-
when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can’t be dismissed
-
Unable to disable chromecast
What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I’m always interested in hearing about other good ones.
Cool, thanks.

Mull (available on F-Droid)…it’s like a hardened version of Firefox
Firefox. I ain’t using anything else.
Firefox because it works perfectly for me, and it’s customizable with extensions.
Kiwi browser! It’s the best!! Built in ad blocker, privacy respecting, can use extensions, very customizable, and so much more!

Yes! I use Kiwi daily, as well as Firefox. Some things work better in one, some the other. It’s a shame it seems to be abandoned (no updates since April).
Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.
