Netscape Navigator
LibreWolf is the only right answer.
Firefox tweaked to the point it’d really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn’t already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it’s important to support an engine besides chromium
Firefox mainly and some forks (Floorp, Librefox, Fennex, Ironfox) also Vivaldi
waterfox and librewolf mainly.
links2 with -g if I am in a tty terminal.
Dillo for my super-minimalist setups.Surprised I ly a few people has mentioned this but Zen (and Cromite on mobile)
Icecat for pc, lightning for phone
Mac and iPhone: safari. Mac secondary: mullvad. Linux: waterfox
The last switch I made was on mobile I went from Brave (for ad blocking) to Firefox since Firefox for Mobile has extensions and I found a good cookie whitelisting extension.
Waterfox desktop, Fennec mobile
Ungoogled chromium. Has no googleslop and is very fast.
Firefox. I’m not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I’m not switching to a Firefox fork unless there’s actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.
wait wait, what happened to LibreOffice? I’m trying so hard to not give microsoft money ;-;
Don’t worry, this is very old news.
OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn’t really do major decisions without the leaders’ approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved.
Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something.
OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there’s been very minimal maintenance on it ever since.
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
!waterfox@programming.dev is literally identical to Firefox, but the AI removed
Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version
FireDragon based on Floorp
Nice try, Stephen Fry.
Kidding.
Android smartphone: Brave
Linux desktop: LibreWolf
Windows virtual machine: Mullvad Browser
Kinda weird to use brave on Android but then use LibreWolf on Linux, no?
I don’t use the sync functions on browsers amyway, so it’s of no consequence. Privacy wise, Brave is already built atop degoogled chrome and the fingerprint resistance of LinreWolf and the Tor Browser derived Mullvad Browser is too good not to use. I haven’t vetted any Firefox based browsers for Android yet as I have done with LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser for desktop, and Brave integrates really well with Android - as in, the user experience is great - so… XD
