My employer pushes custom certs to Edge and Chrome for their internal sites, so I can't use firefox exclusivelyπŸ₯΄.

Zen browser at home, with firefox as backup when Zen breaks, which it seems to do with some frequency.

Waiting patiently for LadybirdπŸ™

Librewolf on my PCs, IronFox on my GrapheneOS phone

[–] dubs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago

Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.

[–] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Two browsers in my android phone - Firefox (routed through Mozilla VPN) for anonymous browsing, and Ironfox (excluded from Mozilla VPN) for logged-in browsing, e.g. banks and social media.

But just one browser in my windows device - Firefox, since windows Firefox supports multi-account containers, and it's compatible with Mozilla VPN, so I can do domain-level inclusion/exclusion.

And of course I have the usual protections in each, I.e. uBlock Origin, LocalCDN and the like.

Waterfox.
Sometimes dillo.

Same, desktop and mobile.

Also DuckDuckGo browser on mobile because it opens a tab in that automatically when I do a search from the home screen search bar on my Pixel phone. But I never log in to any services on that browser. Treating it as a perpetual incognito browser.

[–] likebudda@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

floorp on desktop. The developers are a team of Japanese students and it works well enough. I've had weird right click behavior after some of their many updates but it syncs with mozilla just fine.

[–] Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Stock Firefox.

[–] grandel@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago (4 children)
[–] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same, where it's available.

On my phone it's Waterfox, on my iPad, Firefox. And have FF sync active on all of them.

I love Librewolf and wish it was also on Android.

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 2 points 14 hours ago

Try IronFox

I like librefox the best so far. Waterfox didn't work out for me as well.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Same, almost exclusively- at work and home.

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Same. Love it. ❀️

Desktop: Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromium

Mobile: Ironfox

On the desktop, I moved from vanilla (but hardened) Firefox to Librewolf to Floorp and then to Waterfox. Ungoogled Chromium is for the times some stubborn website refuses to work with Firefox (and its forks). For mobile, I only have Ironfox and if websites don't work there, I just get my ass to the desktop.

[–] last_mango@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Mullvad on my desktop. They don't have a mobile app available, unfortunately.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

i use seamonkey, firefox esr and (occasionally) w3m

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Vivaldi and firefox

[–] defrostedLasagna4921@piefed.zip 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

LibreWolf on PC. Like Firefox but with stronger protections and I love it. I used Firefox for years, but growing concerns over AI integration and Mozilla made me try it, and I'm not going back.

IronFox on Android. Works great, has good privacy controls like LibreWolf does, and websites work. I used to use Cromite, but switched due to ethical concerns over chromium and the fact that many websites were broken on that browser, even after enabling JavaScript and cookies. I was basically locked out of my college Microslop account because login was broken until I switched. Also, go to hell Microslop.

Edit: Also Tor Browser on both PC and mobile. I hate using it on websites with ads though (like seriously, how can anyone without a blocker handle such a bombardment day to day?), so I often use LibreWolf or IronFox instead.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Waterfox with sidebery, ubo and vimium c as essential extensions

[–] ClobberBobble48@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Zen Browser. At this point I'm using it almost exclusively for the glance feature, which loads a page in an overlay above the current tab. This is incredibly useful in webmail for short-term page visits, like email verification links, etc.

Qutebrowser. It's a bare chromium engine (QtWebEngine) with some very neat vim bindigs. I even have a key sequence to toggle my proxy!

[–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 4 points 1 day ago

Mobile: Ironfox

Search Engine: SearXNG (Disroot)

PC: Firefox, Librewolf and Tor

Search engine: I go back and forth between DuckDuckGo and Startpage

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago

Ecosia on the phone

Duckduckgo on the computer.

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

[–] darcmage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

99% zen, 1% helium on desktop/laptop.

99% firefox beta, 1% titanium on mobile.

[–] SmokeInFog@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago

Zen (Firefox fork)

Firefox on desktop as I haven't taken the time to migrate to a fork like Librewolf. Ironfox on mobile.

uBlock Origin on both, Rethink DNS on mobile as a local VPN style ad blocker across all apps.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago
