Using firefox but concerned now

Read about some alternatives:

Edit 2/28: It seems there is no general consensus if we should switch and/or to what.

    Firefox because I don’t fuck around. ublock origin, betterfox, and nextdns. My config ensures there is that one site I need to use ungoogled-chromium for, once a month.

    I have found Mozilla’s sync across devices handy, but now I’m in the process of moving over to using Vanadium on my GrapheneOS phone and FireDragon on desktop.

    FireDragon started out as a Librewolf fork, but is more recently based on Floorp. They are still keeping in sync with Librewolf’s privacy enhancements, with some of their own thrown in. I like that the default search engine is Garuda’s instance of Searx, with Whoogle as another option if you don’t want to self host. FireDragon will also sync your Firefox account off Garuda’s server instance if you like (which would be more useful if I weren’t going with a Chromium fork on mobile). The Garuda project is certainly looking more trustworthy than Mozilla these days.

        All these downvotes really prove your point.

        I think I might switch to that.

        I used Firefox for cross-platform password management. That’s the biggest impact on me.

          Who cares about downvotes from people which become irrational about a browser engine, lol.

    Brave, FOSS. Because it’s the best one I have found for my use case. Been using it since 2021, after some 20 years with FF. No regrets.

      I am surprised by the lack of people mentioning brave, i swear it used to be mentioned everywhere.

      Did something happen or did a newer better browser come out?

        It’s chromium, thus evil, according to the narrow minded community.
