I feel like I'm getting too old for the Internet. I still fondly remember the times where you could create a Geocities page and add it yourself to the Yahoo directory, and other netizens clicked through categories to get to your listing, instead of using a search engine.
But I digress. I'm finding myself browsing the www less over time, and I'm already limited to only a hadful of pages I visit regularly. For me personally, Vivaldi is the best choice for a desktop, and Brave is hands-down the best choice for my smartphone. But I appreciate that others may have different use cases.
Back in the 1990s and early 2000s you used to get an email address and some webspace included in your internet subscription. I remember making a small personal website on the 15 MB of web space I got. The URL was a bit cumbersome http://www.my.isp/www/somesuperlonguserid/index.html but it worked fine.
These times are sadly over.
Why did I click that link lol

I'm surprised to read the whole thread and nobody mentioned that TorBrowser is the goat for daily anonymous browsing.
That you're even suggesting this tells me that you don't use tor regularly. Many clearnet sites dont want to be accessed through tor and will just block you. If you encounter any recaptchas thats basically a dead end. The time from opening the browser to having a fully loaded site is minutes.
If you don't plan on doing serious crimes and your not an opposition leader in a totalitarian state, tor is not a good default browser.

Yeah, I used Brave for a few years. I made like $10-$40, but the popup ads were super annoying, especially as someone who uses 3 ad blockers. Not to mention the other issues... Not Worth It.
In recent history I've used Chrome -> Brave -> Firefox -> LibreWolf -> Floorp -> Midori... So far Midori is good but still testing.

I don't think an average person would listen to me if I instructed them to get rid of chrome and get Firefox and install couple extensions for privacy.
So, I just ask them to download brave and tell them it's just chrome but better, It blocks all the annoying stuff on the internet and atleast they will stop using the hell of a pacifier that chrome is and move on.
Yeah exactly, Brave is for people who are scared of installing extensions but clicking a big install button on a site that runs an executable is perfectly fine

Is there anything else with ad blocker for iOS?
Safari supports extensions. Install AdGuard. Edge supports extensions, install ublock origin lite.
Use it for the time being and never buy an iphone again.

Why not just use Firefox or it's forks?
People just want the next best easy supposedly privacy friendly solution. People who use Librewolf instead aren't any different. Just configure Firefox how you want it to and actually get timely updates. All forks suck because updates are massively delayed.
This! I never understand people who recommend Librewolf or other forks over Firefox just because some default settings are better.

I don’t use chromium based browsers for daily use, but I do keep chromium installed just in case
