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 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

      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.

    Vivaldi has been very good on my desktop as well as on Android. It’s a chrome fork made by some people who left the Opera dev team.

          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.

    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.

      Since you have SponsorBlock installed, I assume you use it to watch YouTube videos? Why don’t you just use LibreTube or Tubular (NewPipe fork with built-in SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike)?

    Firefox, especialy because of extensions like ublock, and sponsor block. But also because of features like total cookie protection. Where cross site 3rdparty cookies are sandboxed for each site.

    Firefox. Everyone complains about it but it’s never given me any problems. Adblock works great!

      Vivaldi works so good on my phone it’s insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.

    Mull with plenty of extensions and changes in about:config and JavaScript off by default.

    Vanadium if on GrapheneOS if more features needed (i.e. JavaScript), barring that, Mulch appears to be equivalent.

    I have to keep using Firefox for the mobile add-ons and because my account is synced with my desktop browser. I’m not willing to switch unless a better desktop/mobile pair comes along.
