• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

Don't forget about the Firefox forks like LibreWolf!

This is the first I'm seeing it, and it looks interesting. I'm always up to try a new browser. And it works on Linux too. If the language can be toggled to English I'll definitely try it.

[–] gothicdecadence@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Their website is in Japanese but everything in the browser itself was English by default when I started using it!

Awesome, thank you for letting me know. That was really the sole concern I had, and it looks very promising. Thank you!

and waterfox!

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

and mullvad browser!

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

and "bolexforsoup already said mullvad an hour ago" browser!

[–] stifle867@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean mull not mullvad :) Mullvad does not have a browser, the privacy hardened Firefox mobile fork available on F-Droid is actually called Mull and is not related to Mullvad in any way. It confused me too at first.

[–] NinjaTeensy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mullvad actually does have a browser now but only on desktop

[–] stifle867@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

ah okay thank you for the correction!

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

+1 for Waterfox

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Waterfox Elevator pitch?

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Water is like cooler than fire, duuude.

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 11 months ago

waterfox.net

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And Mullvad!

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago
