I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what’s the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?
Librewolf is a pretty easy choice.
Currently use Librewolf. Have tried Floorp, waterfox, zen and some others but always come back to Librewolf
Zen is pretty cool.
I like the look of this, have you used it much? I’ve been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen’s features look pretty useful.
Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it’s running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.
Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it’s a fork of Mull, so it’ll be a solid privacy upgrade!
What’s the add-on situation like? I’ve been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla’s curated list. But privacy centered it is not.
I’ve been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It’s pretty good
It’s my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don’t use them that much.
Can’t wait to try out once have pc again
Librewolf for desktop, fennec for mobile
Floorp is what I use and it is pretty decent.
Firefox
i’m sad to see that no one has mentioned iceweasal/icecat. lol
What makes them (it?) good?
i’m only half joking and half raising awareness of this project since it too is a firefox based browser.
the thing i liked about iceweasel (before it became icecat) were the nightly builds; but i switched back to firefox once they started doing that too and i don’t know if icecat is still doing this.
Tor for privacy
