There is only one answer, Firefox or a derivative. Anything else is a vote for a closed commercial web.
Some websites only work with Chromium (yes they suck), when that happens you would need Vivaldi, or maybe Ungoogled Chomium
Yes or sometimes it is just that the Firefox version is too old or your privacy setting too strict. So updating to latest version and switching to a new clean standard profile can help.
Firefox is spying on you, so a derivative is the only option. I also user Ungoogled Chromium because it’s really nice and works well after a couple of tweaks
Why do you think Firefox is spying on you any more then any of the other major browsers? Turn off all of the sponored content.
Because they said so in their updated ToS. They might not be as bad as Google but they’re not saints
That is not what they said. They said operationally nothing is changing. However, they are basically in-part ad supported and so with that comes some strings. All of this can probably be configued out but it is a pain.
For me, hard call. Fragmenting into maybe better browsers reduces Firefox popularity and that impacts wheather web developers will test against anything but Chrome. When that happens these other browsers become irrelevent. So using other browers has a consequence.
Regardless, the fact is unless you’re going through the code, you’re not sure if the tracking and telemetry is really disabled. LibreWolf does that for me, so I use it over plain Firefox
I can vouch for Vivaldi (as recommended by the article). Its pretty good.
Haven’t tried Librewolf yet, still using good old Firefox
I’m using DuckDuckGo without issues. I really like how it’s built. You can watch youtube ideos through a filter that blocks out ads. It’s amazing. I love it so much. I switched over to DuckDuckGo just recently. I think this might be my favourite. I doubled down and got adguard too.
I’m curious to test other browsers too though. There’s ones mentioned here I’ve heard good things about, like Zen and librewolf.
As stated by @furrowsofar@beehaw.org Firefox or a derivative. I use Firefox Developer Edition and have learned how to turn off all of the spying crap. Otherwise, I’ll use LibreWolf every once in a while.
Correct answer, all of them… except chrome, edge (same thing), or safari (because fuck apple).
Don’t use a catch all browser, have a browser for a specific task and use different ones.
currently using Vivaldi and I love it, but eyeing a switch over to Floorp (fork of Firefox) when uBlock is officially done for in chrome browsers. I’ll still need Vivaldi for some things, but I can’t live with ads.
