I want to switch to a more privacy focused browser, would like to hear what yall use currently and why.
Edit: I’m currently using edge.
Edit: Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with floorp (a firefox fork) with betterfox. Here’s my decision process,
- Firefox based browser
- To help with browser monopoly
- I really like the sidebery extension
- I chose floorp instead of ff or other ff forks because of the ease of customization
- I also tried zen browser but experienced a bug just from my short usage so I think it’s not mature enough for me currently, but I do like the project.
- Betterfox + extensions for better privacy settings
- Ublock Origin
- ClearURLs
- Decentraleyes
Did not choose to go with LibreWolf, Mullvad etc because I’m worried about site breakages.
@JustMarkov @dethada
Is Librewolf any different than Firefox with good privacy extensions?
Yes
How so? I already use both, I’m just curious
It’s just a hardened version of Firefox. You can archive this with Firefox, but it is a hassle.
@EherNicht
Based on their website i don’t see how.
Firefox with ublock (blokada on mobile), do not track, a few settings tweaks, and using ddg or startpage for search seems to be pretty much what librewolf is.
Do not track request makes you stick out which results in easier tracking.
It is not. It is pretty much a completely tweaked Firefox.
