There are a few nowadays

  • Firefox vanilla
  • Librewolf: https://librewolf.net/
  • Arkenfox: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/
  • Floorp: https://floorp.app/en
  • Zen browser (similar to Arc): https://www.zen-browser.app/

Which one is your favorite, and why?

    Librewolf - Because it’s independent, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

    I don’t know much about them, I just use vanilla and pay attention to any new features I might want to disable. I think my threat model trusts Mozilla more than these unknown third party folk.

      I have Firefox, Floorp and Librewolf. They all have their perks and are solid options

          Crazy shit but no, I refer to them using simply an outdated Firefox with no humanpower to reasonably maintain that while not adopting any new standard like MV2

    Currently I’m residing with LibreWolf, only recently migrated away from standard FF after Mozilla announced their ad shenanigans…

    Floorp. Librewolf got too annoying having to change settings to fullscreen, set google as the default search engine, sites breaking, and all for benefits i never see.

    Floorp has the convenient sidebar, side by side tabs, and it Just Works
