No, I agree. I've had 0 problems with it and it will be my first recommendations to newer users, as well. I always tell people to be careful with extensions though, as Mozilla states that they do not review every extension and you could add something nefarious.
I mean, that could be the same for Chrome, but it's been so long since I've touched that browser that I don't even know what it looks like anymore, let alone what their addon policy is.
I may have to mess around with it a bit. I like writing custom CSS for browsers and having more power would be fun to play with.
Lol, brief time and more in the general public. Very brief time, before it even had a mobile app. I was still on Reddit then, and it was the number one recommended everywhere. I'm foggy, but I believe it didn't even have the wallet at the time (though correct me if I'm wrong, because I may be).
I've been following browser trends since Netscape Navigator, and I catch the small shifts, no matter how brief. Though, admittedly, it may have just been the groups I ran in that used it. I can't speak for everyone, just what I saw at the time.
Weird. For me, I can't stop Fennec from switching back to desktop mode occassionally. I can't figure out if its a setting I have on or a bug, tbh, but its inconsistent, so I'm going to say its the latter. I'm fairly sure it can do it, though.
I used a browser that had this... lemme take a look at my phone, I might be able to figure which one. Ah! Fulguris. It's a pretty decent underdog browser, and even lets you customize how wide you want desktop pages to be per orientation, from what I'm seeing. I remember being able to get the tabs to view as desktop tabs, but it's been a while since I've used it.
I have a Pixel 7 Pro I've been itching to put Graphene on. The fact that everything can be containerized in a stock environment is just too good. ROMs have come so far since the old days of Resurrection Remix. I remember flashing that on my old Moto X, specifically because I bought it secondhand and there was no connections at all, even after factory resetting.
LTE, 3g, Wifi, nothing worked. So I rooted it and made sure to install the drivers alongside Resurrection Remix (which were called the modem drivers, iirc) and was surprised that everything was working. The fact that we now can run whole systems in containers is an amazing win for technology.
I need to try Librewolf. I've seen the praises it gets here on Lemmy. I've been holding off, because I feel like Floorp is very similar. I may try Firedragon as well, but I feel like it may be rather bloated as far as FF forks go.
That's a big one for me. It's why I mainly use Firefox forks. I'm feeling pretty anti-Google these days, anyway. Though there is a stripped down Chromium browser that's supposed to be de-Googled and I think still allows ad blockers. I think, I'm not 100% sure. It's just simply called Chromium. I used to run it on my Pi4, because it took the least amount of resources and was the smoothest experience.
I had a very brief stint with base Opera on mobile, too, but it was so brief that I didn't really dig into it. When I used it, it did have some QoL things I liked, but Firefox mobile caught up pretty quick and I ditched it. Before Opera, I was using Dolphin for a while.
Have you seen Fennec or Iceraven? Nice little Firefox forks for Android that prioritize privacy and add a few great tools. I would have mentioned Mull, too, but sadly it was abandoned recently.
I've heard lots of good things about Kiwi, and I vaguely remember trying it. Never dug into FF Nightly. I'm a little wary of Mozilla right now, but part of me is also confident that they're not being malicious, despite what's been happening. I'm just more of an "err on the side of caution" person.
Does Nightly have anything that's radically different than stable? I'm curious.
This. The second Premium landed I was out, and it was slipping long before that.
Yeah, screen resolution is still used sometimes, I think. Fonts is a big one. I believe there's software and extensions that makes it look like you have a bunch of random fonts, but I haven't looked too hard into it.
Just never have money. You'll almost never interest anyone. I'm broke af, so I'm boring and worthless af.
I saw that Mullvad had a browser now. It's one of my favorite VPNs. I'd still use it if I didn't need port forwarding. Now I'm on AirVPN (for better or for worse) and run it through Eddie on Arch.
