Vivaldi's a good European web browser

[โ€“] unknowablenight@piefed.social 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It is Chromium, however, and not fully Open Source. I recommend Librewolf or Waterfox, open source forks of firefox.

OP posted an android homescreen.

I'm still pretty new to the foss community (just installed Linux Mint on a VERY old computer so I can get some experience under my belt!) But I was wondering if you knew of a way to download Waterfox without using the Play Store? Thanks!

[โ€“] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 6 hours ago

I don't know where they release it tbh, i use Fennec on mobile which removes the mozilla tracking from Firefox just like Waterfox does, but you can install it from f-droid

Zen browser, while privacy isn't its main focus, has an awesome user interface and a bunch of QoL features and I ended up switching from Firefox.

[โ€“] imjustmsk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

you can install Ublock origin for the privacy, and change a couple settings to make it on par with librewolf

~~Zen is Windows-only~~

Edit: I checked their web and they do have a Linux and Mac version, but the other versions are pretty hidden.

FWIW, itโ€™s not only on Linux but Mac as well.

[โ€“] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Zen is on Linux as well, i'm using it on Linux

Maybe replace Brave with Cromite (assuming that OP needs Chromium based browser)? I'm not sure if Cromite is European but it's not controlled by a company and it's FOSS
