    What browser should I use on mobile? I use Librewolf on desktop since it runs fine, and the vertical tabs are great, and it looks nice.

    On mobile though there’s a lot of problems with the browser space:

    • Chrome: runs great but is obviously not good for privacy
    • Firefox: what most people recommend, but it has terrible performance, looks not great, and doesn’t even have more than basic fingerprinting protection, and literally includes ads by default. It’s also less secure on Android because they don’t do per site process isolation, and the memory allocator is worse.
    • Brave: people tend to dislike brave here, but it runs well (since it’s chromium based) and has at least better fingerprinting protection.

    What other options are there?

      Tbh firefox performs great and works for me, and its issues can be fixed with extensions and settings, both on desktop and mobile. I never looked for anything else myself. I also like to use a browser that is not chromium-based, I do not want google to have the monopoly.

      maybe I am just not picky, but if you need more privacy than what can be achieved with a hardened firefox config you might be better off using TOR at that point.

      hmmm

      i never get the performance part.

      what the fuck are you doing where you can even notice performance differences?

      nobody should use vanilla firefox. the extensions are the vital part of it
