I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what’s the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?
Currently use Librewolf. Have tried Floorp, waterfox, zen and some others but always come back to Librewolf
Librewolf for desktop, fennec for mobile
Librewolf is a pretty easy choice.
Zen is pretty cool.
I like the look of this, have you used it much? I’ve been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen’s features look pretty useful.
Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it’s a fork of Mull, so it’ll be a solid privacy upgrade!
It’s my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don’t use them that much.
I’ve been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It’s pretty good
Can’t wait to try out once have pc again
Firefox
i’m sad to see that no one has mentioned iceweasal/icecat. lol
What makes them (it?) good?
i’m only half joking and half raising awareness of this project since it too is a firefox based browser.
the thing i liked about iceweasel (before it became icecat) were the nightly builds; but i switched back to firefox once they started doing that too and i don’t know if icecat is still doing this.
Floorp is what I use and it is pretty decent.
