Firefox is the alternative to a Chrome hegemony (batsov.com)

I try to Tor at home when I can. For everything else, generally Firefox.

Since I work at MSFT, I use Edge on my work computer. My personal computer I use Chrome. I like to keep my bookmarks and browsing history separate between work and personal.

I use some of the same extensions (Bitwarden being the most important, and Freedom for blocking social media and other timewasters, until 8pm each day).

Chrome at home, Edge at work. I should probably think more about it, but I really don't. I use 1Password for everything and the only feature I lean on in any browser is bookmarks.

Computer: Firefox and occasional Ungoogled Chromium. Firefox for the plugins and standards.

Mobile: Fennec, IronFox (Mull discontinued), Bromite, Ungoogled Chromium. I much prefer tab management in Fennec/Firefox variants.

Firefox, with lots of tweaks. Out of box it is as dumb as chrome. After tweaks it’s half as dumb, but bearable.

My “truly satisfies” is in vivaldi / presto opera sector. I switched to avoid sudden dead end due to mv3.

Can you share your couple of tweaks?

Firefox.

Simple.

Had been using ungoogled chromium but now I use zen browser. There was an issue with firefox based browsers but removing the cache fixed it.

Zen is lovely

Safari purely because of the integration with Apple Passwords / Mail / iMessage

Iridium. Great if you want a privacy-respecting Chromium but seldom updated.

DuckDuckGo. Very performant, maybe because of the tracker blocking.

I read HN content from Falkon Browser.

Arc at work, Safari at home.

Safari personal. Edge for work.

Firefox

Safari for everything personal.

Chrome for work.

Android - Fennec

Desktop - Icecat

Brave.

Chrome
