Ironfox mobile, Librewolf desktop.
Occasionlly Vivaldi if I have to use chromium for something on rare occasion.
LibreWolf is the only right answer.
Firefox tweaked to the point it’d really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn’t already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it’s important to support an engine besides chromium
Firefox on Android, iPad and PC.
Firefox mainly and some forks (Floorp, Librefox, Fennex, Ironfox) also Vivaldi
Nice try, Stephen Fry.
Kidding.
Android smartphone: Brave Linux desktop: LibreWolf Windows virtual machine: Mullvad Browser
Kinda weird to use brave on Android but then use LibreWolf on Linux, no?
Waterfox desktop, Fennec mobile
Ungoogled chromium. Has no googleslop and is very fast.
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
!waterfox@programming.dev is literally identical to Firefox, but the AI removed
Primary: Zen Browser.
Reserve: Edge
Zen was the beginning it was little odd but now I love it. Fast, feels great to use and no nonsense.
I can’t use either Zen or Firefox at work so there I use Edge. Edge is also a nice browser, I really like the sidebar for mail and drop.
Firefox. I’m not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I’m not switching to a Firefox fork unless there’s actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.
wait wait, what happened to LibreOffice? I’m trying so hard to not give microsoft money ;-;
Don’t worry, this is very old news.
OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn’t really do major decisions without the leaders’ approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved.
Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something.
OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there’s been very minimal maintenance on it ever since.
i honestly tried cromite in the last week, but dark mod is buggy, ublock disables every second day, embedded videos dont show up sometimes, extensions are super slow, ui looks like ass. maybe the reader mode is better just a tad bit…but im back to ironfox.
isn’t cromite almost just vanilla chromium?
Firefox on Android and PC
Orion on iPad
librewolf on my personal machine and firefox on my work machine (I’m only allowed vanilla firefox or chrome on there)
It’s pretty shocking that Firefox has so much use here! In a quick scan through the thread, I haven’t seen ANY Chrome users! But it’s supposed to be the clear winner of the browser wars, how come so many Lemmy users avoid it? I’m not complaining mind you, I use Firefox itself, but the cultural difference is striking.
I’ve been thinking a bit at how users self-select in different communities. I often make the same comment on Mastodon and Bluesky, and tech topics do MUCH better on Mastodon, despite the considerably smaller userbase, while general social media stuff does a little better on Bluesky. It’s so interesting!
As a web dev: Remember IE6? The stagnation, self-prioritization with nonstandard features, laden with spyware? That’s Chrome now. They’ll egg websites into enabling proprietaryBullshitStandard() when it’s still just webkitProprietaryBullshitStandard() and give little room for discussion. Their “move fast and break the web” attitude is why Edge, which used to be a unique browser maintaining a third competing rendering engine, gave up and became a Chrome fork. The team at Microsoft couldn’t even keep up with Chrome’s bullshit, and now 90% of the browsers people list just use their engine.
It all boils down to the echo chambers. People who surf web without any adblockers are usually the ones that are not tech savvy as much as the ones who would never surf without uBO. We are on Lemmy after all. This is not a “normie” social media.
