Librewolf - Because it's independent, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

Librewolf, though I don't really consider it a fork, more like a repackaged FireFox with sensible defaults. So far it's been great and I hope it stays around for a while.

Librewolf is a build script and build system with custom configs.

I don't know much about them, I just use vanilla and pay attention to any new features I might want to disable. I think my threat model trusts Mozilla more than these unknown third party folk.

I'm a Waterfox user.

No particular reason. It doesn't have much fluff and it works well. That's all I ask for in a browser.

What about the MullVad browser? I'm really liking it so far, been using it as my daily driver for a bit now, it's rad!

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

Its not Torbrowser but built from it. I see no place for it in my browsing behavior.

Librewolf with Cookie deletion, containers etc over a VPN makes more sense for me.

Right now i’m with Floorp , but I jump from fork to fork often. I’ll probably give a shot to librewolf soon

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago

Librewolf on Linux, Mull (not Mullvad Browser) on Android

[-] kenkenken@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

Tor Browser.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

On mobile? Mull. I don't bother with forks on the desktop.

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Librewolf desktop, Mull mobile.

Thanks for mentioning this. I‘ll check some out. Which one is yours?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago

I have Firefox, Floorp and Librewolf. They all have their perks and are solid options

LOL

(I hope you dont use that daily, it is damn insecure)

[-] madeindjs@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Do you refer to this?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Crazy shit but no, I refer to them using simply an outdated Firefox with no humanpower to reasonably maintain that while not adopting any new standard like MV2

[-] sparkle@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Floorp

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

What a name 🤣

Currently I'm residing with LibreWolf, only recently migrated away from standard FF after Mozilla announced their ad shenanigans..

Floorp. Librewolf got too annoying having to change settings to fullscreen, set google as the default search engine, sites breaking, and all for benefits i never see.

Floorp has the convenient sidebar, side by side tabs, and it Just Works
