Strange question, lol.
There's a lot of people trying to push Firefox on Lemmy lately.
Not just lately. Feels like it always has been like that.
Use anything else? Clearly youβre an idiot /s
It's not that you're an idiot, but it's wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.
Falkon is actually also nice. But nobody carws about it so no real addons and only maintenance support.
I have no idea who does QTWebengine, but its good
I mean its the only FOSS fully customizable and non big-Corp browser that you can harden towards Tor-Browser, use for i2p and so much more
I know, because there are so many people on here telling me.
At least it's better than on reddit where if you dare mention a browser you'll get a few comments about how great Brave is

Firefox is the only mainstream browser that supports ublock origin on mobile in my experience. Although they've made some very weird decisions settings wise over the years. Like not letting you touch "hidden" settings anymore

Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS using Firefox.
S23 and Firefox. I do keep the DuckDuckGo browser installed for the app tracker blocker.
Same here except for duckduckgo
I recently mentioned I gave up my phone, but before I gave it up, it was a highly modified Samsung (I think... no specific model if it was) with no internet (by choice).
A phone actually made by a company known for making headphones. Itβs called the Appleβs iPhone. Seems ok to me. The default browser is Safari and works pretty well. Weird thing about this phone is it doesnβt have a keyboard, just a picture of one on the screen. When you press the screen it can see these presses almost as if it were a real keyboard!
I think I have heard of them.
Samsung A52 and vivaldi
Pixel 6 with Firefox. I use the default os, as the Danish ID isn't supported on rooted devices, and you pretty much need it for everything.
Swedish works on graphene even without any Google support. No root needed either.
GrapheneOS (Pixel) with Mull.
Zenfone 10. Firefox
Pixel 3a with Mull.
i could also get a /e/ os phone and an Samsung Galaxy note 9 on iode os
You can now get a fairphone with /e/ os pre-installed and with aparent support, if you're thinking of gating a new one anyway. They don't ship to the americas though, and if you get it re-shipped the 5g won't work but if that's not an issue it's a good product
This is the only thing stopping me from getting a Fairphone. π₯² I want one so badly. Having it re-shipped might just be worth it if 5g is the only pain point... we'll see.

Galaxy Fold 5 and Firefox
Pixel 7 Pro - Firefox.
I started using Firefox again a few years ago on desktop as I need to test things across multiple browsers. On mobile, they have the navigation bar on the bottom and I switched ha. No other reason.
Ungoogled pure CrDroid on some 2018 mobile. Running Firefox as main browser.
Galaxy a52s (that s is important!), a decent phone.
has 5g/wifi6, spapdragon cpu, 120hz oled display, a headphone jack and an sd card slot (unfortunately it's combined with sim) all in a waterproof package (and battery that lasts for 7-8 hour sot with everything on).
got it on sale for ~275$ and i love it.
won't bother upgrading to anything but flagships for a long time.
Running stock debloated rom atm, but may switch to something like pixel experience (support is already running out; it's just 3 years, not 5 like on newer models)
I'm using Firefox Beta with tons of extensions.
Galaxy A51, and I switch between DuckDuckGo/Bing/Fennec
LightPhone 2. It doesnβt have a web browser.
Pixel 4a, GrapheneOS. Default is Vanadium but it damn sucks. Mull forever
Nokia 7+, unofficial LineageOS, default browser this useless Chromium wrapper, using Mull too.
Other browsers are Tor-Browser for Android. The rest is not worth using, I tried most reasonable ones
- Bromite, Cromite, Vanadium
- Brave
- Firefox
- Privacy Browser
- Foss browser
- Fennec
Poco F3 running with /e/OS and mull
pixel 6, fennec (fork of Firefox)
Phone:OnePlus 6. Default browser: Mull.(it's been Firefox nightly for ages bu I recently switched)
OnePlus 6T with postmarketOS, default browser for the Phosh version is Firefox but I use LibreWolf instead.
OnePlus 6 with stock Android, default browser is Chrome but I use Fennec F-Droid (mobile Firefox fork) instead.
Do you use your cell connection on the 6T + PMOS? I've got an old 5T I'd love to flash Linux onto as a primary phone but not sure how support is on the OnePlus phones
I use it a lot for data and often for texts, but calls are broken for the most part. Only works in 2G mode and sometimes the audio is broken. When ot works, it works well, but it osn't reliable. That's why I got a second SIM and am carrying an Andrpoid phone as well for now. Once calls and camera work I'll drop the Android phone again. Waydroid works pretty well for the few remaining Android apps I use.
Poco X3 Pro and I use Opera. I tried Firefox, but I didn't like it, some websites looked huge, some tiny. The manual scaling option in settings didn't help it. Opera handles scaling of desktop websites properly. It also has desktop-like tab switcher on top which I like.
Firefox mobile probably isn't optimized for tablets, which my phone basically became.
