What browser do y'all (who hopefully are more informed than me) recommend? I've switched from Chrome to Firefox and now to Brave...

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Librewolf on desktop, Ironfox on mobile

Iron Fox isn’t on iOS.

DuckDuckGo browser. Also, all browsers on iOS are just reskinned Safari (aka they all use the WebKit engine). IIRC DuckDuckGo browser has decent adblocking? Or just use Safari with uBlock Origin Lite which is probably safer and better.

Firefox is still perfectly fine.

I use Librewolf for corporate attention-economy sites. It strips the bloat, and of course, has the venerable ublock. Vimium-c is my other must-have extension to make FF-based browsers more usable.

My all-time favorite and primary is vimb. Since migrating to webkitgtk-6.0, it works quite well. Every instance is bubblewrapped, but if anonymity is your goal, you'd want to make sure it's carefully configured. You are probably aware, but browserleaks.com is a nice site for privacy testing.

Why the fuck would you choose Brave? What was appealing about that mess when you had Firefox which works absolutely fine to begin with? Anything built on Chromium is not in your best interest.

Go back to Firefox or any of the various derivatives.

If you must have a back up chromium browser at least choose something like Vivaldi.

LIbrewolf is my personal choice along with mulvad browser but I don’t use chromium browsers
