Just firefox really, never had any real issues

Firefox for Android doesn't use chrome and has extensions including adblockers

runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 297d

That also makes it the ideal YouTube app for Android

There is like 2 browsers, Firefox, or all the chromium based ones?

cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 298d

That's pretty much it for Android currently. There are a few more choices for PC.

There is a new browser in development called Ladybird, but a stable release is still years away and they are focusing on desktop support first.

ironfox + ublock
fDroid repository = https://fdroid.ironfoxoss.org/fdroid/repo

for sites that i don't visit regularly which need java & cookies
fDroid guardianProject repository = https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo

That iron fox link doesn't seem to work

merde@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 296d (2 replies)

works for me 🤔

Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 296d (1 reply)

Hmmm

I'm not sure why its not working for me then

merde@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 296d

maybe it "is not publicly accessible" for browsers and fDroid or droid-ify has permissions to connect to it as a repository.

did you try "add repository"?

you can also add https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox to obtainium.

digger@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 298d (1 reply)

I use the one that's funded by Google.

breakcore@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 298d

I see what you did there

hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org · 7 pts · 298d

i use fennec f-droid with ublock origin and numatrix

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 298d (1 reply)

Firefox. My daily driver is an iPhone and I just use Safari there, but we have uBlock Origin Lite now. But on Android it's Firefox with full fat uBlock Origin. As it happens, I'm on the Android device now! I love its keyboard so much. Apple couldn't make a keyboard to save their arse if it came to it.

Ulrich@feddit.org · 3 pts · 297d

I tried iOS for about 5 months and the absolute worst part was the horrendous keyboard...

JASN_DE@feddit.org · 5 pts · 298d

Define "best"?

Not much people know Iceraven, yet its pretty good android web browser I can trll. Extensions make it even better :)

Oberyn@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 298d
zemon@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 297d

Iceraven for browsing, Ironfox for anything that screams "don't open this", Fennec for stored logins only and Cromite if I ever needed a Chromium browser.

rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 298d (1 reply)

DuckDuckGo, i like the "burn everything" animation (and functionality, but mostly the animation)

Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 297d

Waterfox. For really powerless machines dillo or "links2 -g."

For android I just use firefox.

altphoto@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 298d

Netscape Navigator 1.0. I think there's probably an update for it now.

rabbitcat@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 295d

IronFox with ublock origin

9skyguy0@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 297d

I use Fennec F-Droid with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, and HTTPS Everywhere.

Though sometimes I've contemplated switching to the Guardian Project's Firefox Klar

Ulrich@feddit.org · 2 pts · 297d (1 reply)

Every browser that I know of is open source. But I use Orion!

NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 297d

I love Orion! It's a little clunky but I love being able to use the full UBlock Origin.

zer0bitz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 298d

I've liked to use Fennec for few months now.

radswid@feddit.org · 2 pts · 298d (3 replies)

Mull for everyday-use or Vanadium for pages which need a chromium-based browser

pogmommy@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 298d (2 replies)

Isn't mull discontinued? Work on it is continuing as IronFox

radswid@feddit.org · 4 pts · 298d

oh, thx, I missed that news. time to change

Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 298d

I thought Fennec was the continuation of Mull, but I checked and you're right, it's IronFox. Am dummy.

waterfox seems to have a partnership with ecosia which shares your information with microsoft

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 298d

Ironfox I think

EDIT : typo

claudiom@blendit.bsd.cafe · 1 pts · 294d

On Android, I use Firefox. If Falkon were available on Android, I'd use that as well. I use both of those on Linux and BSD.

DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 293d

IronFox for Android, at least until Google blocks it, and LibreWolf for desktop.

BrikoX@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 298d

Best is subjective and recommendations would depend on your use case. Iceraven is my primary.

sudoer777@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 298d

Vanadium for web apps, Cromite with auto delete for random websites, and IronFox with various plugins for web searches

KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 294d

Firefox since v1.0.1 RC :)

thermogel@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 298d

Ironfox & Vanadium as main search, and Tor as the default, for opening links.

cdzero@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 297d

Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

bluemoon@piefed.social · 1 pts · 298d

StartPage browser and one simply named Browser with a blue shield icon

LemUrun@pawb.social · 0 pts · 298d

I use Ultimatum. It's more sirious take on Chromium with extension support, which was only a test.

PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 297d

All browsers are based on an opensource model, even google chrome. A privacy respecting, fully opensource browser, in my opinion LibreWolf, make sure you can update it semi-automatically. If not Arkenfox or Brave.

Engywuck@lemmy.zip · -1 pts · 298d

Brave for me.
