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?

    Librewolf is my daily driver. Ironfox on mobile. If I have to use a Chromium based browser, then I use Brave.

    Kagi as my search engine in case you were wondering 👀

    Mostly vivaldi, occasionally firefox on desktop. I wish we had more options with better longevity.

    Firefox ESR with user js and some of my personal modifications, ESR because I don’t have to worry about new stuff for 2 years. Another idea if you don’t want to worry about new stuff in browser is using Mullvad as regular browser, all you have to do is turn of always private mode but if you don’t want to mess around I’d recommend LibreWolf or Waterfox.

    Using many. Firefox, waterfox, librewolf, Vivaldi, k-meleon and…errr…well…edge. On win, Linux and android.

    Tor Browser (daily driver) because I really hate surveillance capitalism. I have fallbacks but rarely need them. Can recc LibreWolf and Ungoogled Chromium.

    @Turd_Ferg PC (Linux): Librewolf for some things (fediverse, news outlets, mail providers, etc), Waterfox for other things (especially sites/platforms where I need to write Portuguese, because Librewolf’s “Resist Fingerprinting” breaks accent keys), upstream Firefox for more mainstream things (government services), as well as Lagrange for Gopher and Geminispace.

    Smartphone (Android): Fennec, with native Chrome active against my will for WebViews from certain apps (governmental and banking apps, for example) that require Chrome For My Security™.

    It’s been a while since I ditched Chromium-based browsers, although Firefox has some Chromium things inside its code. I’m waiting for whatever browsers that could bring third-party browser engines besides Chromium and Firefox-engine (yeah, there are Pale Moon, Basilisk, Safari/Webkit, among other browsers which are neither Chromium nor Firefox-based, but I’m talking about a browser as compatible as possible with features such as WebBluetooth, WebGL, WASM and other things as they can prove useful for personally-developed projects/self-hosted services).

      Things that I really like about Zen:

      • New tab URL input, it’s a dialog overlay
      • Tabs opening as the first instead of the last in the sidebar
      • the tab sidebar
      • opening external links is magic, they open in an overlay with the option to expand in a tab. This is probably my favourite, because often I need to open a link from an email, do one thing, then go back to the email. This feature keeps me in the context of what I was doing.
