I am FOSS-friendly? How can I do better?

Does anyone have a FOSS BROWSER recommendation?

Seriously, saying what they have is shit and providing no alternatives is counterproductive. I still use chromium on my device because firefox runs like buns. Y'all are saying Brave is not better, but again, do you have alternatives?

Thanks

For me firefox, or rather fennec, runs really well. What issues do you have? Maybe open a bug report after checking if others have similar problems. Maybe your specific performance issues can be fixed by someone with programming socks?

Can't use apps that require google play services.

Trying fennec now. Seems much better than last time I had it installed.

I'm running a modified Light phone 3. It's a bit of a janky setup but it's definitely been an interesting tinkering project

Have you tried microg to allow gapps to work? Or is that just not something you want to do?
