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!
firefox, because ublock origin and sync with my desktop pc: same bookmarks on both and sending tabs to other device when i need to.
I’ll get killed here.
Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.
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.

Firefox because it works perfectly for me, and it’s customizable with extensions.
Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.
Firefox. I ain’t using anything else.
Firefox + the following addons:
TWP
uBlock origin
Dark Reader
Consent-o-maticIs 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.
Sometimes it works but simetimes it still has issues.
Firefox for general use. TOR browser (Firefox) for everything else. Privacy, security, and ad blocking are paramount.
Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I’m pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.
I"ve been using Fennec as my default.
Firefox.
I’m using Firefox too rn. I was using Vivaldi but I decided that it was time to abandon chromium.
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.

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

when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can’t be dismissed

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.
uBlock Originis the main oneSearch by ImageandWeb Archivesare two others that I like to have on mobileI’d love to learn some more as well :)
Cool, thanks.

Mull (available on F-Droid)…it’s like a hardened version of Firefox
