It looks like IronFox is getting more recognition than I thought. I'm glad, because its a great android browser. Is it on F-Droid's main repository yet? I remember having to add the IronFox repository manually.

Number one on the list of why you should use Firefox, lol. Fuck Chrome.

I'm curious as to see how Floorp would work on Japanese sites. Its developed in Japan, so it should work good. I understand that there are still too many sites that won't work without Chrome though, it's a major pain.

I'm in love with Vim shortcuts as is. Having a bit of trouble figuring it out, though. Trying to track down the config folder. I have firefox-tridactyl added on Arch, but I also just installed it as an extension through Floorp. No idea where I'm supposed to find the configs for either. I'd like to make a theme using my custom astigmatism-friendly colors.

Well, I've been through the Arch sacred texts, so this won't be new to me. Time to get some reading in, lol.

Zen and Floorp both have multiple UI designs you can change through the settings. I think Zen only has side-style tabs, though. Floorp is more malleable and has several UI variants plus many options to change how it works alongside integrated Tree Style Tabs support.

If you don't want all the customization and such, Librewolf would be the choice. It's a "just the basics" Firefox fork. No additives, no telemetry, nothing. The settings page is incredibly short, lol.

I don't disagree. I was young and stupid.

I keep Zen around for the same reason. However, right now its fairly laggy and buggy so I keep checking back after updates.

Floorp and Firefox can play DRM, I think. There's a checkbox in the settings, at least. I've never tried it because I use third party apps to play DRM media.

You've just changed my life with Tridactyl. It even has themes... This is what I'm missing. I can't wait to try this. I love Qutebrowser, but no matter what custom lists I add (even using all three list types), I can't get it it block everything. And I can't find a Greasemonkey youtube script that works.

Tridactyl is going to be so much fun. Thank you!!

There's many options for browsers that can sync with your phone. I used to love Brave until all the shifty moves they pulled. Installing paid propietary software without consent, switching the telemetry on without saying anything and claiming it was an accident...

And their ad block is like a leaking sieve compared to uBO/Ad-Nauseum. Not to mention useless when they've been known to put ads on the homescreen and in the browser itself. Then underneath all that you have Google lurking in the shadows, ready to take your data and sell you advertisements tailored to your interests.

I had had enough of both Brave and Reddit when my umpteenth Brave search was being advertised to me on Reddit.

Librewolf might not sync due to how pure and barebones it is, but you could check out Zen or Floorp or Firedragon. Any FF fork that lets you login with a Mozilla account will work. I never sync, myself, but from what I've seen you should be able to.

I do like the Brave browser itself, so I get it. But even plain old Firefox might be the lesser of two evils here. Just search up "brave browser drama" and check things out. It gets kind of nasty. The devs are not the most trustworthy people...

Sorry if this sounded pushy. I'm not trying to be. I got burned with Brave and it still stings a bit, lol.

Ohhhh, okay. That would give me more of an incentive to try it. I always just assumed it was Garuda's browser to match its KDE Sweet theme aesthetic. Excuse me while I go download a fifth browser for this PC.

I agree. I also like to separate all of my activities. Not just for privacy, but also for organization. Sometimes I overdo it... I have ton of unused apps and programs.
