It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox::Firefox's extended add-on support for mobile is coming with version 120, a good reason to switch to the browser permanently.

Inb4 people start shilling Brave, it's spyware and nobody cares about your shitcoins

I’ve come to much prefer firebox but I have used brave for a long time and people aren’t being fair

  • Shitcoins are optional got disabled on day 1 and never saw em again.

  • Worked as advertised (pun intended), fastest browser at the time and never saw a single ad.

  • Spying? Cant be worse then chrome. It is one of the reasons i am now with with firefox.

But i am not convinced firefox isnt spying somewhat too. Why can i not selfhost my browser profiles instead of syncing all my details with mozzila servers?

Acutally you can selfhost your sync server for firefox: https://thesmarthomejourney.com/2023/03/18/self-hosting-firefox-sync/

Firefox sync is e2ee

I use Firefox exclusively on Desktop and Brave exclusively on mobile. Firefox on Mobile still has performance issues for me.
