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?

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

      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.

    I switched to Chrome about 10 years ago because Safari was buggy and lost all my tabs one time too many. Also it made it easier to move between platforms. Still using it now. The main thing I wish it had is a visual tab overview like Safari does.

    I just switched back to Brave after using Firefox for a couple years. I switched away from Brave over the Manifest V3 thing but it turns out they’re preserving compatibility with V2 extensions and their built-in shields have gotten pretty good at blocking most things without even needing uBO. I had lots of little issues with Firefox that are like known-issues that have been around for years or things I haven’t been able to find solutions to, so I was glad to switch back. Brave isn’t perfect either, but.

      The thing about braves adblock is, it ain’t customizable at all. For sites that are constantly changing, with Firefox and ublock, you can somewhat debug whats wrong. With brave, you’ll have to wait for an update on their end.

        Huh, I didn’t think about that. But I can just install uBO and disable the built-in ones if it ever becomes a problem, right? I thought I saw an option about disabling them.

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

    Librewolf on desktop and IronFox on mobile (GrapheneOS) for daily browsing. I also use Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser on desktop for particularly sensitive browsing.
