Firefox alternatives
I’m thinking of switching to some Firefox alternative, but there are too many. So far, I’m thinking of Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf, but it is hard to decide on one specifically. Is there are suggestion in terms of privacy, security, maintanability, etc?
What problem are you trying to solve?
I’ve heard Mull is good on mobile and Mullvad Browser is probably good on desktop. I just use Firefox on both though since it solves my problems.
i use librewolf on pc and mull on android
I’d go with LibreWolf.
A few years ago, Waterfox was purchased by System1, and advertising company. It also collects more user data. Edit: Looks like the dev bought it back. I’d still recommend LibreWolf though.
In my experience, LibreWolf is a good balance between privacy and functionality. I’ve never had problems with LibreWolf.
It seems like last year the dev purchased back the project and the ad company is no more involved
@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone thanks, I’m using it for a few days for now
I have been using Librewolf for several months now, and I am quite happy with it. In terms of user privacy, Librewolf by default has some strict settings enabled, like Resist Fingerprinting. Resist Fingerprinting does cause some minor problems, like incorrect timezones, but there is a workaround, as stated on the Librewolf website.

I use icecat and it’s pretty nice, main issue is you have to manually approve all JavaScript scripts and cross-site requests manually, so it makes visiting almost any website for the first time a pain in the ass.
Luckily most stuff is concentrated to a few sites and I use private frontends liberally so it’s not a huge pain.
