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!

    Went from Firefox to Brave, because the UX is better by a longshot. Also supports accountless sync.

      anything specific that firefox lacks that is keeping you on chrome?

        Not the one you replied to but I’m also on Chrome. Haven’t found a good reason to switch.

          Total cookie protection.
          Ublock origin.
          Breaking the google monopoly to prevent enshitification.

          Each of those on their own is a good enouh reson imho. But with all 3 firefox is a slam dunk ;)

          I’ll be honest, not a lot of pros to using Firefox if you don’t care about using the best adblocker (uBlock origin). That said, if you haven’t tried it recently, you should give it a shot. I would recommend installing uBlock Origin and Dark Reader (if you like your pages dark) for the best experience.

          It’s not as fast as Chrome (not noticeable on newer devices) but I personally disagree with giving Google so much power over the web, so I’m ideologically opposed to using anything based on Chromium or not open source, so my options are limited.

      Is TWP “Translate Web Pages”? Android Firefox has a built-in feature for that, since like this version or so. 🙃

        Yep.
        But I like that better as I can summon it by my own will and feel like it can translate some pages better than others (detection is a bit spotty)

      How has your experience with Content-O-Matic been? I noticed mixed reviews.

      Have you tested any alternatives for handling gdpr pop-ups?

        I’m on “I still don’t care about cookies”. As opposed to Consent-o-matic, it doesn’t attempt to opt-out, which makes it more reliable, but you want to use it together with Cookie AutoDelete.

        uBlock has an “EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices” filter that you can enable on both desktop and mobile, which is probably enough for most people.

    I switch between Firefox and Brave, I use Brave because it works a lot better with YouTube.

    It blocks ads really well, and the background play works nicely. YouTube is quite clunky in Firefox compared to Brave

    I’ll get killed here.

    Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.

    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.
