This is one of those many posts that leaves me wondering, "Why do you want to know?" "What are you going to do with the information?"

There's a lot of people trying to push Firefox on Lemmy lately.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not just lately. Feels like it always has been like that.

Use anything else? Clearly you’re an idiot /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I know, because there are so many people on here telling me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Brave has a built in adblock and I find the browser better All around for Android. FF all the way on desktop though

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.

Zenfone 10. Firefox

LightPhone 2. It doesn’t have a web browser.

i could also get a /e/ os phone and an Samsung Galaxy note 9 on iode os

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is the only thing stopping me from getting a Fairphone. πŸ₯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.

Pixel 3a with Mull.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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).

iOS with Firefox as my browser.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Galaxy A51, and I switch between DuckDuckGo/Bing/Fennec

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A phone actually made by a company known for making headphones. It’s called the Apple’s iPhone. Seems ok to me. The default browser is Safari and works pretty well. Weird thing about this phone is it doesn’t 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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think I have heard of them.

Ungoogled pure CrDroid on some 2018 mobile. Running Firefox as main browser.

Poco F3 running with /e/OS and mull

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Poco X3 NFC (w/ Android 13 custom ROM) and my main browser is Edge with Cromite on the side.

My main browser for years and years was Firefox (both windows and mobile) but for whatever reason Firefox is super slow loading pages on my desktop (while other browsers open instantly) and I just got tired of troubleshooting the issue.. so I just switched

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.

Pixel 6 Pro, stock OS, Firefox Beta.
