Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.

And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked

30p87 ,

And as a more advanced user, I need nightly (for custom compiled addons), and just configured everything relevant to be as close to LibreWolf as possible/good for privacy.

RustyNova ,

Fair enough. But can’t be assed to switch every little thing, and keep track of the new ones (like the ad tracker in 128)

the linux package manager in question

it’s not in the arch repos 💀

It’s in the AUR

everything is in the aur

but it’s available as flatpak

RustyNova ,

I mean an updater on the windows (the os). Sadly forced to use windows at work, but at least I got my Librewolf.

This is the argument I keep using for why people should use Linux more. The fact you have to run updater software for each piece of software is so stupid. It’s a horrible solution to a poorly designed problem. On Linux I just tell my package manager to update everything and it takes care of it all. There’s no need for the user to be handling all of that, and it also shouldn’t have to update in starting the application because that’s when the user wants to use it, not wait for an update.

(For reference: it’s the same thing as on your phone where it tells you the number of things that need updated and you just tell it to update whenever you feel like it.)

RustyNova ,

That’s a great point, but Linux Mint hasn’t a repo for Librewolf in a long time, meaning it was only available through Flatpak. It’s not a big issue, but it does break keepassxc, and is a pain considering the drama Debian got over it

Chocolatey ftw. I was already eyeing it when I jumped to LW so I did the setup for choc and now I have most of my software being managed through it. It’s not perfect but on a schedule, it’s as set-and-forget as it can be for Windows.

I guess with the exception of using the MS Store, but ew.

RustyNova ,

Was using scoop as I prefer it’s contained aspect. However, now I 'm on Linux, and my work blocked the repo’s so…

TrickDacy ,

VPN ads? Not sure I’ve ever gotten such a thing. Been using Firefox daily for several years

ccdfa ,

You know that tab that opens sometimes when you update Firefox? The welcome to Firefox or what’s new, whatever it is? If I remember correctly, there are sometimes ads for mozilla vpn on that tab. But you, like me, might just close that tab without ever looking at its contents

TrickDacy ,

Haha yeah… I actually like that there is a confirmation that an update was installed and there’s a list of changes if I want to view them. If that “ad” indeed is there, it’s inoffensive enough I never once noticed it. I loathe ads. Not one of those people who tolerates them

Firefox. Librewolf’s defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that’s what I’m doing.

Quill7513 ,

I just changed my browsing habits. Frankly I’ve also realized having the internet be less convenient has made me more mentally healthy

ahornsirup ,

My issue isn’t that it’s breaking sites. It’s the fingerprint resistance making the basic user experience unpleasant. Refusing to remember window size, forcing light mode, etc. I understand why, but those aren’t sacrifices I’m willing to make.

shotgun_crab ,

You can disable those and get CanvasBlocker to still have some degree of protection (not as much, though)

Quill7513 ,

Yeah those are the browsing adjustments I had to make. though I changed the window sizing to be letter boxing. After that I left it alone. Plus the resetting of all the cookies and cached data

communism ,
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

The only librewolf default I find inconvenient is no persistent cookies. I just disable deleting cookies when I close the browser and the other defaults ive not touched. Other than some Firefox defaults I don’t like the behaviour of, but none of the librewolf-specific defaults.

mrvictory1 ,

Librewolf enables fingerprinting preventation which makes some websites / fields very laggy. I can disable it but what’s the point of using Librewolf then? Also using FF is not paranoid, it is the only free software I installed that sticked with my family. Tor has a wholly different purpose.

Yes that’s what the meme is saying.

Librewolf is better than Tor in some ways. Tor has ads

Churbleyimyam ,

I rarely have a reason to use Tor and the ads always shock me when I do. I find it weird that most people are experiencing the internet with oldschool ads in their normal day-to-day browsing.

prunerye ,

Honestly, there are probably enough people using ublock with tor browser that you can still retain most of the benefits if you do the same. You’ll just be in a smaller cohort than if you didn’t.

Tor browser has ads? I’ve never seen them lol

Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.

NegativeInf ,

What is it when one fires up 30 selenium instances using the Firefox webdriver, all loading random sites and clicking links, then route all personal traffic through tor?

serpineslair ,

I have modified Firefox. Might as well be Librewolf.

communism ,
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

I was the same which was why I just switched to librewolf. Cut the work out for me.

hirage ,

Well, I use them all. It depends on the services I access and the threats that affect them (and therefore me). Firefox for studying and sites that use WebGL; Librewolf for everyday browsing. Oh yeah, and there’s Tor.

HotsauceHurricane ,

Librewolf. I yearn for something better for ios. I’m sticking woth firefox because all my tabs & shit are synced.

communism ,
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

Tor Browser serves a different purpose/use-case to the first two. The first two are intended for everyday browsing while I’ve never heard of anyone using Tor Browser as their daily browser—and if you log into websites then using Tor Browser as your daily driver would defeat the anonymity purposes if you’re logging in anyway.

I use librewolf for everyday browsing and Tor Browser for things requiring a higher threat model.

Clearly 🐺. Been on it like, 3y+? Maybe longer, it’s been my primary for a long time. 🦊 as a backup, and for DRM stuff. Chrome/Chromium for shit that just doesn’t play well with 🦎. Edge (for windows) is my ‘I need to test this with a vanilla browser’ and cba to disable ublock etc from chrome incognito.

Iceraven, with backup Vanadium, on mobile.

yetAnotherUser ,

For mobile, I’d recommend Mull instead of Iceraven

Pros:

  • Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
  • incorporates the arkenfox user.js
  • Doesn’t have “No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!” in its project description

Cons:

  • APKs are only on FDroid
  • awful name, no animal reference
  • awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is… an interesting choice

Here’s a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:
