Which browser do you use and why?
-
The Gnome browser (epiphany?) is actually quite good. But when I'm on windows I use Zen. On GrapheneOS I use IronFox.
I also recently tested Ladybird. It's still not usable for daily use, but I'm excited for it.
-
Firefox, while I dislike their new FAQ and TOS I build it from source and the TOS does not apply.
I wish they would make Firefox Sync a self hostable product that they also host for you for like 5 bucks a month. I would pay for it (or any other way to directly give money to FX instead of Mozilla) like I do for Bitwarden.
-
Switched to Librewolf on Linux and Ironwolf on Android. But looking forward to Ladybird!
-
Librewolf is pretty much standard hardened Firefox. So you should feel right at home with that one
-
Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?
-
Aren’t their services you can use to sync bookmarks and such like Floccus?
-
Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.
I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?
-
Do you mean IronFox or is there another fork I didn't know yet
-
Brave.
Because I installed it when it was pre-alpha version. Ended up to an ugly window with just an addresse bar. I though "this shit will never worked, yet another utopistic project, too bad..."
Then, came back 2 years later, gave him a 2nd chance and "OMG ! They fucking did it !". So I keep it as a redemption for not having believed in the project at first.
-
...Brave is just chromium by techbros, right?
-
Librewolf looks exactly the same to me
-
This is the only good critique in this entire thread (thank you) BUT librewolf is on the exact same version as Firefox. It appears their updates are pretty fast.
Would you have config recommendations beyond the obvious?
-
I have found Mozilla's sync across devices handy, but now I'm in the process of moving over to using Vanadium on my GrapheneOS phone and FireDragon on desktop.
FireDragon started out as a Librewolf fork, but is more recently based on Floorp. They are still keeping in sync with Librewolf's privacy enhancements, with some of their own thrown in. I like that the default search engine is Garuda's instance of Searx, with Whoogle as another option if you don't want to self host. FireDragon will also sync your Firefox account off Garuda's server instance if you like (which would be more useful if I weren't going with a Chromium fork on mobile). The Garuda project is certainly looking more trustworthy than Mozilla these days.

I use Firefox and Chrome as I am not a woke vegan
-
What do you mean by that
-
People that complain on little tiny thing
-
Perhaps right click on the sidebar -> disable compact mode? I haven't had any issues moving tabs between windows, but then again I keep the sidebar persistent
-
I've been using Zen for the past couple days and it's absolutely spectacular. I really really been enjoying it.
It claims to be a fork of Firefox but there's still Firefox under the hood and you can tell. But I find that it runs significantly faster than Firefox standard. So who knows. The author seems to be making it as ambiguous as possible so I would think that it's a soft fork that's basically stock Firefox with a few minor changes and a new look.
