I want to switch to a more privacy focused browser, would like to hear what yall use currently and why.
Edit: I’m currently using edge.
Edit: Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with floorp (a firefox fork) with betterfox. Here’s my decision process,
- Firefox based browser
- To help with browser monopoly
- I really like the sidebery extension
- I chose floorp instead of ff or other ff forks because of the ease of customization
- I also tried zen browser but experienced a bug just from my short usage so I think it’s not mature enough for me currently, but I do like the project.
- Betterfox + extensions for better privacy settings
- Ublock Origin
- ClearURLs
- Decentraleyes
Did not choose to go with LibreWolf, Mullvad etc because I’m worried about site breakages.
Did everyone forget the crypto thing
No one forgot about it. It just isn’t that big of a deal. You can turn it off pretty easily and it isn’t really forced. Still way better than Chrome or Edge as those browsers are designed to track you in order to show ads. I think the hate against Brave was blown way out of proportion. It is still better to use hardened Firefox but from a absolute defaults perspective Brave is better. As soon as you start hardening Firefox that changes of course especially with Manifest v3

how is that any different than what firefox is doing lmao
Firefox has weaker protections out of the box. You are welcome to prove me wrong. Last time I tested that’s what I found.
