Firefox, something Firefox based or something entirely other?

    Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc

      There is no excuse for ads on Firefox or its forks. Installing uBlock Origin blocks any and all ads just like on desktop.

          Hasn’t been the case for a good while now. Feel free to switch back if you ever want to.

    Is there an Android browser that has ad blocking but still allows you to sign into your Google account?

        Ah, apologies. I should’ve specified: Preferably Chromium based. Thank you for your suggestion though, I appreciate it.

          Brave has a builtin ad blocker, though not as good as uBO in Firefox. You also have Cromite, which uses Adblock Plus and also the Kiwi Browser, which supports extensions so you can install uBO.

    Chrome because of the integration and syncing and my passwords being available across my devices without having to install another app, and memorising yet another set of login details.

    Ghostery. Protects privacy. I like the UI. Just wish it had a working image search.

    Mull, which is based on Firefox, but removes all the telemetry and stuff. I forget why I chose it over other versions of Firefox. Someone here on Lemmy recommended it.

    Firefox because I like the UI and I think chrome has gotten too dominant.

    Brave if I need to chromecast something

    I’ve been using Fennec F-Droid, which is based on Firefox. I mostly use it because I want a non-chromium based browser and Firefox and it’s derivatives have browser extensions on android. I chose Fennec F-Droid because, while I could be wrong, it seems to be slightly smaller and run slightly faster than Firefox.

    Kiwi browser. It is a fast one and has a smooth scrolling. I tested a lot if them. Also address bar at the bottom is a must.
