A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Librewolf (PC) or Fennec (Android) if you want to stay in the Firefox ecosystem. Vivaldi if you don't mind A Chrome based browser.
Fennec is good. Ironfox is better, it is the successor to Mull.
Can you explain why it's better?
I would also love to know. It is not on F-Droid so I'm a bit suspicious at first. (Not all is open source? Or is it too new?)
You have to add its repository from here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox
A proprietary chrome based browser that is. But nevertheless one that seems to superior I'm considering seeking refuge there until Servo is ready.
After a few months in LibreWolf I still don't feel at home.
Someone really needs to make a general purpose fork of librewolf that turns on the features you need for compatibility and ease of use by default, and the regular librewolf can stay hardened.
I moved from Chrome to Firefox / Fennec to Vivaldi for Windows and Android, and after disabling a lot of the UI bloat I've honestly not had an issue with it. Synced tabs across devices, fast performance, and built in ad-blocking with option to add extensions.
IIRC the only portion of Vivaldi that isn't open source is their UI code, for what that's worth. Guess they want to keep an edge there? I'm Currently migrating my Android from Vivaldi to Brave; using xBrowserSync (bookmarks), Proton Pass (passwords), and KDE Connect to keep it synchronized to desktop (debian 13 using KDE Plasma) instead of Vivaldi's sync. Kind of a pain after using a single service for some time but I don't trust anyone anymore.
