Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here? (mander.xyz)

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

I switched to https://librewolf.net/ on Desktop and https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox on Android.

Using this as an opportunity to promote the LibreWolf community on Lemmy: !librewolf@lemmy.ml as well as their new Mastodon account: @librewolf@chaos.social

I'm not affiliated with them btw

I've been trying ironfox but it crashes when i tap "customize homepage"

have you experienced this?

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 7 months ago

I just tried now for the first time and no it doesn't crash when I press "customize homepage".

Same, I’m done with Firefox / Mozilla…
Librewolf, Waterfox, Floorp seem like viable options.

Let me add FireDragon, a Floorp fork with librewolf and other changes.
