Any recommendations for iOS? I switched to Librewolf on my Linux pc and Fennec on my Android phone, but still have Firefox on my iPad. Looking for good alternatives.

Haven't used iOS in a while, but I remember Orion being really good. It can install chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons.

Vivaldi has been my pick for a bit. It can install Chrome add-ons but not Firefox.

They also have taken a stance not to include genAI:

Currently using Orion, it works well though I haven’t thoroughly paid attention to scrutinize it thoroughly.

Last I used librewolf/waterfox they lagged behind a few days on security updates, so I switched to regular Firefox with arkenfox user.js

Are there any plans to make a mobile browser?

I use Floorp on desktop. Since I got used to it, I just can't live without that advanced sidebar. Being able to open the mobile versions of web pages right on the side is just too useful.

I use Iceraven for my phone

Here is a github link for the android app https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

I use Fennec in Android and Librewolf in Linux.

Libre wolf needs a bit of tweaking at the begining but then works like charm.

I'm hopeful that firefox will get better, but I will switch to librewolf if it doesn't https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rkrikorian_youre-not-an-owner-youre-a-renter-thats-activity-7407449623365160960-eBba?rcm=ACoAAAEaOGUBcuQnpyDgX8X3tv2kNPamUFP1d5k

Mullvad Browser for the win!

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago

I use all 3 and generally bounce back and forth between them. They're all good.

Just pick one and go. They'll get the job done.
