LibreWolf (and Ungoogled Chromium) on Linux, Vanadium (and Mull) on phone. Parenthetical ones are what I use when my main browsers refuse to load something.

Firefox on PC, Mull on phone and Brave on tablet (until Firefox has tab bar for tablet UI). I can't browse the internet with awful ads, so ublock origin is a must.

Firefox. It's faster and more lightweight than chrome and has bigger fonts. I find chrome's label's eye-straining. Also it's not owned by Google or Microsoft. DuckDuckGo on mobile because I don't like the mobile version of Firefox, and I can delete all cookies using the fire button (On my laptop Cookie AutoDelete does that for me.)

librewolf on PC, Mull on my android.

Firefox because its pre-installed on pretty much every Linux distro I'd want to try. I've used it for a long time, back in version 2.x. Then I tried out chrome for quite awhile but their pushback against adblockers made me migrate back to firefox. Haven't regretted it!

I use firefox because I feel like it's one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn't have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain't a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.

Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox

[-] Sowatee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.

On desktop I use librewolf, and occasionally vivaldi when I need to access something that requires chromium.

On mobile I use the duckduckgo browser, which has a lot of the features built in that I would require an add-ons with firefox. I used to use fennec, but it had the problem of being bloated with all of the default options on desktop like the sign in, which I do not like, and at the same time being anemic with only like 5 add-ons.

Also, fennec really annoyed me by hijacking anything that required a browser, even if one was built into a program I was using, or was a secondary option. I had the most annoying time trying to sign into SoundCloud, until I finally deleted fennec and I was presented with a normal, native login screen.

Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I've flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.

[-] smartwater0897@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Firefox. And I even installed Thunderbird again after all these years, since they are going to have a UI refresh this summer. It's a very nice nostalgic feeling to once again use a local email client.

If the new theme is good, it's going to be a keeper. :)

Firefox most of the time, portable/standalone chromium for the rare occasion where Firefox doesn't work.

[-] any1th3r3@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

mull on mobile and firefox on desktop, ungoogled chromium if i really have to.

[-] swiniowaty@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Firefox + Librefox on a PC, Brave on my phone. At worka Firefox as well.

[-] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Firefox and Firefox.

I also use qutebrowser on one machine and I've been using Pulse which is a Firefox fork that is rather nice.

Honestly I'm just stick of all the Chromium browsers out there - stop giving Google such a massive lead in everything.

[-] mook@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

cough chrome. It just works. I've been sucked into the g-verse of things. I was a long time f-fox user but there was a particular print to pdf instance that I couldn't do any longer on f-fox, so I just surrendered

[-] citizensv@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Firefox, Epiphany web browser and midori. When I'm using windows I use Firefox.

I use Firefox wherever I can will continue to do so in the forseeable feature. Why? Because Firefox is currently the biggest actor in FOSS web browser space. It makes most sense to support them.

[-] Wistful@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...

I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.

[-] taur10@venera.social 5 points 2 years ago

@Bicyclejohn Firefox, whatever version is default on LM😁E, with containers, NoScript and Ublock for privacy purposes

[-] JoKi@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

I also use Firefox on Windows, Linux and Android.

[-] Wololo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Vivaldi, because it has amazing tab management.

[-] oishiiburger@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

[-] calcifer@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

You will hate me for this, but I use chrome and chromium mostly on my PC. It is just easier. Chromium being less spy-y than chrome.

[-] anders@rytter.me 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@Bicyclejohn I use Firefox because of its features and better performance.

[-] markkdark@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Firefox or Vivaldi on pc & notebook, Vanadium & Fennec on Android - Grapheneos.

[-] Bicyclejohn@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Good to see another grapheneos user

[-] Muntjac@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I use Brave. It's not perfect but I like the built-in adblock and the crypto stuff is an added bonus.

[-] Tumbleweed@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Firefox on desktop, and DuckDuckGo on the iPhone I'm stuck with :)

[-] Skimmer5728@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

on desktop - firefox

on android - mull (hardened firefox with telemetry and proprietary blobs removed)

for several reasons: its extremely customizable, open source, extensions like ublock origin work best on it, great privacy, not chromium based (fuck google and a browser monoculture), etc.

mozilla isn't perfect and i don't agree with all of their decisions for sure, but despite that, overall firefox ftw

[-] Mir@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Safari for everything. I'm deep in the apple ecosystem. Edge when I'm on my PC, once in a blue moon.
