Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.

I’ve been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:

  • Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.

  • Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I’m a drug lord.

  • Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it’s using Mozilla services for tracking.

What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?

    I think I might give IronFox a go, just a bit weary as never heard of it before, not sure who is the owner of the project and where they are based, GitLab project only has ~125 stars.

    Have you ever used the Accrescent app store? That’s their recommended option for installing it.

      I haven’t used Acrescent but I believe it’s made by the GrapheneOS team. It’s focused on security, rather than totally FOSS programs.
