Original question by @Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works

Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?

    I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

    I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

    Firefox. Fast and light as usual. I see people say it isn’t and I just don’t get it.

    Linux, compared to chromium its the same speed, but with better features of course.

    The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?

    I use Librewolf 90% of the time.

    10% Edge (but with ShutUp10 ran over it) for HDR Youtube and if adblocking is broken on one browser at the moment.

    I’m very uncomfortable with having all web browser engines owned by Americans.

    Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.

    Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.

    Firefox, both on desktop and Android.

    If there is a good alternative that’s both available on Linux desktop (Fedora) and Android… AND can install uBlock origins (without manifest 3 limitations) then I’m all ears.
