Firefox on Debian at home, mostly Chrome on Windows at work (sometimes Edge too) and Chrome on Android on my work phone due to practical reasons.

Firefox and sync my mountain of addons between all the machines I have it on. Fennec on android.

Mull on phone, Librewolf on PC

Waterfox (Firefox fork), since it lets me put tabs below address bar natively, without a css file, and Vivaldi for sites that need Chromium.

Mull on phone, hardened Firefox on desktop.

IceRaven (for the addons and a few enhancements) and Bromite. Both are not good choices as they are poorly supported, but that's the reality of mobile browsers I guess.

Tbh I hate mobile browsers in general. I don't understand why they have to be so crippled, especially FF and its forks that keep getting worse with every major version.

Aside from needing to have grapheneOS, Is there any reason not to use vandium on mobile?

Brave - works mobile and desktop for me.

I use Arc and Orion for my computer. Mobile I use DDG and Orion

[–] Mir@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Is Arc still mac only?

[–] SpacemanSpiff@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Using Orion on iOS currently (there’s a macOS version too). It’s made by the same people behind the Kagi search engine. I’m loving it. Built with WebKit and on mobile it utilises some power saving feature Safari does not.

They plan to release a Windows version eventually too, and using WebKit! (Not Chromium).

I like to split tasks/genres between browsers.

Chrome: day job Gmail, calendar etc, and other work related research Vivaldi: web dev testing Firefox: everything else

Firefox on mobile

[–] JshKlsn@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox because of the manifest v3 crap.

Before I switched back to Firefox, I was using Edge. Edge is probably the best browser out there currently. It has so many amazing features built in that make every other browser look featureless.

Even though manifest v3 is on hold, I don't care. I am staying on Firefox. Even though Mozilla broke label printing a few months ago, and despite bug reports being submitted, they haven't fixed it. Mozilla is definitely REALLY slow at development. (It took years for Firefox on Android to get pull to refresh, and it's still a buggy mess lol)

Waterfox G5, because it's literally just modern Firefox ESR but with the ability to install legacy add-ons re-enabled.

I use this to make my own personal CSS themes and JS add-ons (as well as use existing ones like in the link above) and manage them in a way that's more elegant and streamlined than userChrome.

[–] jmp242@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi. I was a huge Opera fan before they sold out, and Vivaldi is as close as possible to that in a modern browser. I also sometimes use Firefox, but find Vivaldi is faster, has features that work better together than a mishmash of extensions, and works with more stuff because chromium.

[–] okbin@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

how about mullvad browser? that’s what i started using. based on tor but less overkill :)

[–] shufflerofrocks@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personal Use:

  • Firefox with all privacy guards enabled on PC
  • Samsung Internet and Firefox on mobile

Work Use: Edge. Honestly such an impressive browser - much faster than other browsers ime, great set of built in tools. If it wasn't for the privacy concerns, I would probably shift to Edge.

Chrome for anything Google related. Firefox + NoScript for most browsing. I have pi-hole running on my network and don't permit anything but that node to query outbound for DNS.

[–] raubarno@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Either Firefox or Librewolf (fork of Firefox). On my Lineage, I use Fennec. I usually restrict it even more with custom uBlock Origin filters and dnsmasq sinkholes to get away from 'Sign in with Google'-like popups, though.

[–] cynetri@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox all the way. Vanilla on desktop and Iceraven (a Firefox fork) on mobile. I also have Wolvic installed on my Quest 2 which came from Firefox's VR browser, but I never browse the internet in VR lol

[–] excel@lemmy.megumin.org 1 points 1 year ago

I use Vivaldi, because it just has a better UI and better usability features.

[–] jmsw22@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I’m really enjoying Arc - the keyboard functionality is great, I like the way spaces work, and it’s quite pretty. I recommend checking it out if you can get an invite.
