Librewolf, Hardened Firefox, ungoogled-chromium
librewolf is hardened firefox AND ungoogled XD
The first two of which are just Firefox…they’re not browsers in their own right, and they only continue to exist because Mozilla and Firefox continue to exist.
And Mozilla and Firefox continue to exist because they make money off of the completely optional things that this video is raving about.

Then get off the internet, I guess? I mean, are you expecting one to come along at some point? Are you going to pay for it?
Mozilla is a non profit, which puts them leagues ahead of all competition in terms of trustworthiness. They have minor telemetry and sponsored things that can all be disabled, and that’s entirely because they need to make some money somehow. No one donates, so what do you expect them to do?
They respect your privacy by giving you the option to disable everything. That is far more respect than you will ever get from any of the chromium browsers.
Important to note there are options.
I’ve been relatively pleased with the duckduckgo mobile browser. There are a reasonable amount of chromium forks that aim for privacy oriented browsing as well, although I don’t have a specific one to endorse.
I guess in defense of Mozilla: it isn’t really playing a different game in the browser space, they’re just trying to mitigate some of the toxicity of ad revenue as a foundation. They’re still a non profit hiring from the same pool as the tech industry money printing machine.
There’s still a limited pool of support they have to pull from, and I like it better with them around so the big 3 don’t have a total monopoly on browser architecture.
That said it’s maybe the best example the model is flawed at the jump.
the DuckDuckGo mobile browser is brilliant, wish it had add-ons like Firefox though. the mobile Firefox browser right now seems to keep becoming more unstable over time :/
It’ll get more support with some time. For now it’s a nice browser to keep separate for not polluting what you doing mind putting out in public. I’ve had a lot more smooth experiences with PWAs I load through the ddg browser.
Actually one area I think it’s got an immediate edge on firefox while the wild wild fediverse sorts out is just how many fewer attack vectors it’s presenting with the pared back features.
Choosing a browser has been picking between terrible choices for a long time now. It’s a shame.
Both sides are absolutely not the same, here. Drawing a false comparison between Firefox and Chromium because Firefox has some suggested content is an hysterically ridiculous take.
Use IceCat browser plus do some about:config changes.
I have used bromite for ages it’s a custom chromium fork but is no longer maintained.
One of the Devs forked it and now I use his version.
Orion, based on WebKit, for iOS and macOS looks interesting. Supports chrome and Firefox add ons. I would like it to get a little more refined, still early days. Looks very promising
On Android I highly recommend Privacy Browser. It’s on Fdroid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard/
There is also Ladybird browser
Is it just me or is this video stupid af? You can easily disable all of the telemetry in Firefox. Like yea, no shit if you keep recommendations on, it’ll collect data for that. How else would it recomend shit to you? Am i missing something here?
