I want to switch to a more privacy focused browser, would like to hear what yall use currently and why.

Edit: I’m currently using edge.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with floorp (a firefox fork) with betterfox. Here's my decision process,

  1. Firefox based browser
    • To help with browser monopoly
    • I really like the sidebery extension
  2. I chose floorp instead of ff or other ff forks because of the ease of customization
    • I also tried zen browser but experienced a bug just from my short usage so I think it's not mature enough for me currently, but I do like the project.
  3. Betterfox + extensions for better privacy settings
    • Ublock Origin
    • ClearURLs
    • Decentraleyes

Did not choose to go with LibreWolf, Mullvad etc because I'm worried about site breakages.

Librewolf for anything that does work, Brave for anything that works only on Chromium based, and Mullvad for all the crazy.

On Android it's Mull and Mulch.

Does either Librewolf or Mullvad have a mobile version with sync?

[-] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

In all honesty, I am not sure if you can sync, but I think I've seen librewolf and Mull being able to sign in to a Firefox account. I don't sync anything unless I self-host, so I have my linkwarden for all my bookmarks needs.

I've heard of a self-hosted alternative to Firefox accounts, but I would need to research that a bit.

It can sync, most if not all Firefox based browsers can sync
