    Firefox beta with ublock and a paywall block list, works perfectly for 99% of the web

    Firefox because nothing has blocked ads as well as Ublock Origin has. DNS is for other apps but for browser Firefox has been king.

      This: Fennec has better security configuration than Firefox about:config settings in regards to telemetry and whatnot.

      Mull is also great! Even more secure and better at stopping phoning home, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Though, Mull tends to break quite a few websites. I use Mull, and switch to Fennec selectively when Mull doesn’t work

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

    Firefox because it’s plugins make mobile browsing bareable. I have a folding phone so I wish that Firefox would hurry up and copy Chrome’s multi window feature, and then it would be the perfect browser for me.

    I use Firefox on desktop too, but I’ve been experimenting with Arc the last few weeks to see what the fuss is about.

      There’s also Zen browser that’s Arc-like and based on Firefox instead of Chromium. Zen lets you sync tabs with Firefox elsewhere (including mobile Firefox), run the full uBlock Origin, and it is a fully open source browser.

      https://zen-browser.app/

      It’s also available on Linux too (in addition to Windows and macOS), unlike Arc.

      What’s the multi window feature in Chrome? Is that like containers in Firefox?

    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.

    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.
