Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.

I’ve been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:

  • Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.

  • Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I’m a drug lord.

  • Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it’s using Mozilla services for tracking.

What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?

    The issue is that any firefox-based browser on Android lack of per-site isolation unlike chromium browser. It’s a security issue that Mozilla doesn’t seem interested in fixing. And it does impact every fork such as IronFox (previously Mull)

    I am mainly using Firefox engine on all my computers but on Android I am using either Vanadium when on GrapheneOS and a tweaked brave when not.

    For me personnaly it has nothing to do with supporting Google’s monopoly on web tech or not. It’s not about telemetry either, it is a security concern.
