[–] HalifaxJones@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) Can anyone reccomend good options fo browsers? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 child) These are all the browsers I personally think are good and privacy-respecting. Sorry if I accidentally included too many options. DesktopFirefox-Based Firefox The standard for browsers where you aren't the product. For maximum privacy it does require tweaking settings, but it is reasonably privacy-friendly out of the box. It has light customization options including a sidebar and customizable button placement, and can be much more heavily customized with user themes. Librewolf (Most reccomended for privacy) A custom version of Firefox with enhanced privacy by default. Comes with Ublock Origin installed. May break some websites. Waterfox A Firefox-based browser with some additional privacy features, enhanced speed, and additional features. Floorp A browser based on Firefox with much more advanced customization options and many additional features, like workspaces and web panels. Doesn't add any additional privacy-focused features. They recently also added support for chrome extensions. This is my personal choice of browser (with the Natsumi modification). Zen Browser A Firefox-based browser with a sidebar+workspace workflow, and lots of stylistic changes and customizations that help put the focus on the webpage. Very nice and usable for productivity, but doesn't add any additional privacy-focused features. Chromium-Based Ungoogled Chromium It's Chromium, but without Google. Pretty self-explanatory, it's simple, and it works. Vivaldi An extremely customizable browser packed with a massive quantity of additional features that can be toggled and tweaked for varying needs and methods of usage. Doesn't add any significant privacy-focused features. It supports MV2 extensions. Helium A chromium-based browser with enhanced privacy and speed. Comes with Ublock Origin pre-installed, and supports MV2 extensions. It's a pretty new project. AndroidFirefox-Based Firefox The de-facto privacy-friendly browser, although for maximum privacy it does require tweaking settings. It (and its forks) are the only privacy-friendly browsers on android that support extensions. Waterfox A fork of Firefox with more private defaults, and extra bloat removed. IronFox A hardened private Firefox fork. Heavily focused on privacy and security, it sacrifices some usability for privacy. Chromium-based Cromite (Most reccomended for privacy) A chromium fork with enhanced privacy and built-in ad blocking. Vivaldi Very customizable chromium-based browser. It does not come with an ad-blocker. iOSAll browsers on iOS are limited to the WebKit engine which Safari is built on, so just use Safari. The benefits of other browsers on iOS are negligible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HalifaxJones@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago Oh wow ya thank you.
