Which browser do you use and why?

Recent news about Firefox finally got me to go with LibreWolf.

Zen Browser is a free and open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox, with its main focus being privacy, customizability and design, and it is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0).
Seems to be a fork.
Chromium browsers are affected by any changes to chrome, I wonder if the same is true for Firefox forks.

Simple forks, sure. Independent forks? No. So I guess it depends on if Zen considers itself independent or not, and I can't seem to find that information.

FireDragon because it's the version of Firefox that Garuda ships with and I never saw a reason to change from it.

Thanks for this. I'm using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they're going.
I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.

Looking into Librewolf and Waterfox now!
OK! You've had 1 hour to check them out.
What's the difference between the two? -

I used Floorp, it's balanced well between looks and privacy, you can't even enable data collection if you wanted to
-

Apparently, Floorp is another Firefox fork. Has anyone tried this?

There was some sort of bullshit going on in like 2003 with Internet Explorer so my dad switched us to Firefox, I’ve been on it since. Never felt the need to go to Chrome when it cane around.

Trivalent, i.e. "a hardened chromium for desktop Linux inspired by Vanadium". Vanadium, for the uninitiated, is the browser found on GrapheneOS; the most secure and privacy-friendly/conscious OS for phones.

i've been using firefox and its predecessors since the very beginning, all the way back to pre-release navigator.
i do have (and have always had) other browsers installed (using 'portable' installations of them, mostly, these days). currently those include vivaldi, opera, librewolf and waterfox. at least one of which is added along side firefox on each desktop (most often also with a firefox dev edition). these are mostly for testing but also to separate specific online tasks into their own browser. the chromium-based ones are used for very specific things requiring addons that don't work well or at all with firefox.
unless i need to in order to assist a client, i do not use chrome as provided by google, and i do not use edge from microsoft except for its primary function: downloading another browser when i don't have a flash drive handy with its installer already downloaded and saved to it.
having actually read the policy documents in question and considering the intent and purpose of the changes that mozilla is making, i have no plans on changing my primary browser.

I love Librewolf for PC and Mull for Android.

I use Mullvad Browser. It's maintained in coordination with the Tor Project, and is essentially the Tor Browser with Tor itself stripped out. Same browser fingerprinting protections, however, among other things.

While I'm not sure dropping Firefox is necessary at this juncture, I've had good a experience using LibreFox. Hearing a lot about Zen, though.
Check out Mozilla's clarification:

I use Floorp as my main browser! I like it, it's very customisable and kind of weirdly Japanese lol

I gave up on firefox 1 year ago and went to the dark side with Brave. I am really happy with it even tho part of it is closed source.

Well how do you interpret them then

Looking into Librewolf and Waterfox now!
Long time Firefox user. Installed Librewolf today and so far so good. I used Firefox sync to get all my settings, bookmarks, open tabs, etc. back.
At some point I will probably find an alternative yo Firefox sync but it'll do for the time being. -

What's the difference between the two?I found a decent answer here https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/18g8tez/what_am_i_gaining_if_i_switch_from_librewolf_to/
That mod sums up a lot that I found. I don’t know the answer because they both have odd downsides.
Yes they’re both forks!
