Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?
The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn't it?
I knew that Orion supported Firefox and Chrome add-ons, but for some reason I assumed that they won't work unless it was something I could find on the iOS App store. 😅
I'm def going to add uBO to Orion, Brave's CEO is such a pos and I've always felt icky using it but there wasn't a good mobile alternative.
IceRaven on mobile mostly. Was diehard for Kiwi, but it's stopped development and is being absorbed into Edge. Tried all the current stuff, and IceRaven was the most like what I was used to.
Safari for primary. Firefox for YouTube channels that I download from. Waterfox for a secondary Lemmy instance where I have another account for privacy reasons.
Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.
Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.
For android, IronFox ( from their repository that I added to F-Droid ) or I started recently using the DuckDuckGo ( also from F-Droid ) for those rare websites that don't work on IronFox ( like justtherecipe or just earlier justbeamit ).
On my laptop running Linux, I have the default Firefox, an ungoogled chromium for websites that don't work on FF, and TOR.
As for my desktop running win10 ( and definitely Linux by the end of the summer, I hope ), I have FF, Librewolf, Tor, and just recently got Mullvad VPN's browser. Probably shouldn't have that many browsers as once, but I'm an idiot.
