I’m currently using firefox and thinking of switching, would love some more features and a better aesthetic, but I’m interested in what others are using!

    Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use

    I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that’s what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

    It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I’m not sure what changes I’d like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head

      What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I’m always interested in hearing about other good ones.

      Since you have SponsorBlock installed, I assume you use it to watch YouTube videos? Why don’t you just use LibreTube or Tubular (NewPipe fork with built-in SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike)?

    Firefox for the add-ons, sync, and other features, but I have set Firefox Focus as the default that most apps open pages in. From there I can open pages in regular Firefox if I need or want to. Firefox Focus acts as a sort of default private browsing mode.

    Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I’m pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.

      Vivaldi works so good on my phone it’s insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.

      Loved it & used it for such a long time because at the time it was the only android browser with extension capability …but it’s on an outdated version of Chromium & development seems to have ceased. Switched to Firefox which is great, though I still miss “open new tab in group”

    I have to keep using Firefox for the mobile add-ons and because my account is synced with my desktop browser. I’m not willing to switch unless a better desktop/mobile pair comes along.

    Mull with plenty of extensions and changes in about:config and JavaScript off by default.

    Vanadium if on GrapheneOS if more features needed (i.e. JavaScript), barring that, Mulch appears to be equivalent.

    Firefox. Everyone complains about it but it’s never given me any problems. Adblock works great!

    Firefox, especialy because of extensions like ublock, and sponsor block. But also because of features like total cookie protection. Where cross site 3rdparty cookies are sandboxed for each site.

    Vivaldi has been very good on my desktop as well as on Android. It’s a chrome fork made by some people who left the Opera dev team.
