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.
Edge isn’t private so you have plenty of ways to improve
firefox always and forever, anything else is almost nearly certain to be a honeypot.
That’s not very hexbear of you
firefox on desktop: to keep away a browser monopoly for another day.
iceraven on mobile: more extensions.
Brave
Firefox
Mull on mobile, mullvad and Firefox on desktop
Brave and Firefox
Zen Browser, love the split view feature, and native vertical tabs !
It’s a Firefox fork btw
Zen browser. Its a browser that looks like arc browser but its based on Firefox and has tracking removed. Its really nice. They also have their own theme system to change how the browser looks and acts
Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that
The say zen is suspicious. Brand new and not really tested. Keep an eye on it.
Firefox here
Firefox with a handful of extensions, same on phone.
Last time a site “needed” chromium based a user agent switch did the miracle…

Hardened Firefox on my PC and Waterfox on my phone. Reason: mostly because I have been using Firefox for a long time and I want to stay away from Chromioum-based browsers (but not out of privacy concerns :) ).
librewolf on my laptop, firefox with ublock origin at work and on mobile
I’m using primarily LibreWolf at home too, but every now and again there are websites that won’t work with it. So I still keep Firefox around for that because I haven’t figured out how to add exceptions to specific sites for LW.
Might actually be a good privacy strategy though. The sites that break are probably the most invasive. So it could be better to run them on a different browser that’s what you normally use, perhaps with efforts to spoof fingerprinting. Other than not visiting the site, of course, but it’s a decision you gotta make.
Depends on which computer I’m using. Netscape 4 still works relatively well, as long as you’re selective about which sites you try to access.
Librewolf + uBlock Origin on desktop. Mull + uBlock Origin on mobile.
