Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?
Firefox for Linux and Android
Firefox until there is consensus about which is the correct replacement. In FOSS, dispersion is dangerous.
LibreWolf, IronFox
I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.
I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.
Firefox on Linux, Fennec on Android
Vivaldi because I want to support EU based products. It has a good feature set.
Vivaldi for years now. I’m genuinely surprised it doesn’t get more attention. Its tab management is god tier.
Firefox. Fast and light as usual. I see people say it isn’t and I just don’t get it.
Linux, compared to chromium its the same speed, but with better features of course.
Floorp for pc and fennec for mobile
I use exactly the same browsers as you, can recommend.
The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?
I use Floorp on PC and Ironfox on mobile.
Zen on desktop. Still using Firefox on android.
Edit: on my computer only as I don’t surf the web with my phone (I don’t know if there is a mobile version of Waterfox)
The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn’t bother you?
It is not anymore as far as I know, right?
it hasn’t been since 2023
https://www.waterfox.net/blog/a-new-chapter-for-waterfox/ - looks like that isn’t the case any more. Good news!
Zen Browser on desktop, IronFox on mobile.
Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.
Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.
Mostly FF for personal stuff, Vivaldi for work stuff that expects Chrome. Actively looking for a FF replacement, though.
