      Chromium has superior security

      I hadn't heard that before. Do you have a source that I can read up more on it?

        Should we also be comparing rendering engines?

          interesting, so you just back up your ~/.password-store directory? You use the same thing on Android or something else?/

          I am using KeePass, it generates password and also TOTP. Works fine but I want to switch to something more Linuxy. Keepass is great but you really depend on a 3rd party.

                It's a casual English language construction of the 90s. It's equivalent to "FF is evil?" And implies that the writer believes that it didn't used to be.

                  Zen, absolutely love the workflow and the fact that it is not chromium based.

                  Basically a firefox skin, although they have a VPN as a sponsor, did somebody did a thorough check on that browser?

                    Fennec on mobile, haven't gotten around to replacing FF on Desktop yet.

                          Gotta say, you have a point. Too lost in the privacy sauce to really notice it earlier. 😉

                            Isn't Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues?

                              I use Firedragon, because it's the only browser I could find that has a vertical tab-bar that collapses. Supposedly Zen does it, too, but I couldn't get it to work.

                              Firedragon also has a toolbar to the side with a notepad and other neat stuff. I haven't used that yet, but it could be cool.

                                Currently on Firefox with Betterfox and Lepton. I might change it to Librewolf as a base for its better defaults. Ungoogled Chromium flatpak when I need a Chromium browser. Fennec on GrapheneOS for its extension support even if it might not be as secure compared to Vanadium.

                                  Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?

                                  The UI and dialogue boxes look a bit dated, not sure why

                                    Librewolf is pretty much standard hardened Firefox. So you should feel right at home with that one

                                      Ah fair enough, can't argue with personal preference.
                                      You sure you weren't using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.

                                      I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

                                        I'll give librewolf a go. Can I just copy my profile with all my extensions across?

                                          Waterfox is based on esr, so quite outdated. Just use librewolf and some css. You have firefox-one that will make it look pretty and similar to zen. Zen is no good if you care about privacy.
