    Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

    Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

      And on android, Firefox is the only browser that allows installing ublock-origin and user scripts

          Ah yes, I think I heard of it ages ago; though it’s based on chromium so add blocking may stop working in 6-12 months,

            No. It is already in effect for over half a year.

            It won’t compleatly stop working but it makes it way more useless

    Firefox, on my desktops and my phone. Several reasons:

    1. It’s relatively trustworthy.
    2. It uses the only non-WebKit-derived browser engine still in active development. Monoculture is bad.
    3. It supports uBlock Origin, and will continue to do so next year.

      Firefox FTW!

      I can’t imagine using any Chromium browser when ad-blockers stops working.

      Wait its going to be unsupported after?

        In Chromium and derived browsers, yes. It already doesn’t work in Safari and presumably other WebKit-derived browsers. Firefox will soon be the only browser capable of running a truly effective ad-blocking extension.

      DuckDuckGo is my default search engine now

      How is that working for you? I am thinking of switching in my quest to get out of google stuff

        Great, occasionally have to switch search engines to get certain kinds of results but that’s true with Google as well

        I tried that for quite a while but ultimately gave up. For many (technical or non-English) topics, I found no fitting result of my search on the first page.

    PC: Firefox (without the arkenson js yet) Android: Firefox too ^^

    I really like that Firefox is one of the rare breeds on the mobile scene which provides some browser extensions too.

      I just wish they’d add all the extensions to firefox android… and i’d like card style tabs too but i can live without them.

      yo question ab firefox coming from dude who knows very little ab it, i watched a video browser tier list by eric murphy and he listed hardened firefox in S tier, do u reach hardened firefox by downloading configs for it off github? how reliable is it and do things tend to crash if u try to have many options at the same time (like an amalgamtion of stuff from different ppl in order to reached a specific desired outcome, in terms of options, security settings and look)?

      😂 I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can’t use chrome anymore.

    Firefox, for tree style tabs, and to push back against homogenization of the web.

    Firefox.

    I used Chrome for the longest time, but I started having a problem that I thought was Chrome related so I installed Firefox to see if it solved my issue. It didn´t, and I eventually discovered the actual issue of my problem, but I ended up liking Firefox too much and stayed.

    I use Firefox (and I’ve used it since it was called phoenix, and I’ve used the free software mozilla suit before that).

    BUT I’ve been very unhappy about the corporate leadership of the project for a long time. I don’t trust them at all. They regularly do user hostile shit like ads and tracking and endorsing DRM, then act surprised by user backlash and backtrack partially, only to try again a couple of months later.

    Many people who work there are clearly shit-brained corporate silicon valley types, and the leadership most likely cynical money-grubbing grifters.

    I hope the various free software degoogled chromium forks all come together to make a good browser. A browser that works on both Linux and Android, that can sync all the stuff between both, and which has no tracking and good ad blocking.

    I have been using Firefox since 2005. Back then it was over 9000 kilometres ahead of Internet Explorer and was in so many ways better browser. These days it stands as the biggest alternative to Chromium and Google’s efforts of gobbling up the web. I don’t see any reasons to switch.
