I like Librewolf on my PC. It shuts down a bunch of stuff right off he bat.

I'm looking for some recommendations for android devices.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Can second LibreWolf, though you have to be aware that it tweaks quite a few things in the name of privacy that you may want to turn back on.

For example, I was unable to use my FoundryVTT webapp until I re-enabled WebGL in the settings. Which reminds me, I need to see if that feature can be whitelisted per-domain or if it's all-or-nothing...

So, for those, I keep another, less private browser around. Like chromium or Water Fox.

Man, missed opportunity there on WaterFox. Could've been WaterBear lol

edit: tardigrade joke, though I imagine most will catch that.

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Ha yeah. it plays hell with AboveVTT too. Tookvme a while to work out it was that.

Go with ironfox on android. Can't recommend fennec they skip updates

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago

right now i think the best android browser is ironfox

[–] ttyybb@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Libreworlf(PC) /waterfox & fennec (phone) right now. Have my eye on ladybird for the future

[–] url@feddit.fr 3 points 5 days ago

Be careful fennec skips updates

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Duckduckgo for Android works for me.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Booo, now they got an AI image generator.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, the more ai by default DDG puts in, the more I look elsewhere. AI assists wouldn't bother me nearly as much if it was all opt-out by default and a toggle to opt in.

i use ironfox, it works for me, haven't tried anything else.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

At this point I use tor for most things, with ironfox as a quick fallback.

[–] nublug@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

fennec is the best ff fork on android imho and pretty much exactly like librewolf with it's defaults, it's on fdroid. i also see ironfox recommended but i haven't tried it personally. it's prolly good, too.

[–] Psychonaut1969@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What is with the antifeatures listed for it on f-droid? "This app tracks and reports your activity" "connects to various Mozilla services that can track users".

[–] nublug@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

didn't realize that. it apparently leaves some mozilla telemetry enabled that you can disable by going to about:config and searching 'telemetry' to quickly find all options and set to false. this makes me want to check out ironfox now.

[–] url@feddit.fr 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Over biggest problem with fennec is that they skip regular Firefox updates

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Are they skipping minor bug/tweak/feature stuff or security patching?

[–] url@feddit.fr 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For example they skip everything between 145.0.0 - 146.0.0. I once asked the fdroid team about it and they were like if I was affected by those crashes. It's like if it doesn't crash don't touch

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Weird. I guess solely from a stability standpoint it makes some sense. Or from a limited Dev team. But not much else makes much sense for skipping all that.

Ironfox is excellent
