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!

          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?

        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’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.

    Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use

    I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that’s what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

    https://www.privacyguides.org/en/mobile-browsers/

    It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I’m not sure what changes I’d like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head

      What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I’m always interested in hearing about other good ones.

    Firefox for general use. TOR browser (Firefox) for everything else. Privacy, security, and ad blocking are paramount.

    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.
