What's the best Firefox-based browser? (lemmy.today)

I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what's the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

Currently use Librewolf. Have tried Floorp, waterfox, zen and some others but always come back to Librewolf

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 21 points 18 hours ago

Librewolf is a pretty easy choice.

Librewolf for desktop, fennec for mobile

Zen is pretty cool.

I like the look of this, have you used it much? I've been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen's features look pretty useful.

Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it's a fork of Mull, so it'll be a solid privacy upgrade!

It's my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don't use them that much.

I've been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It's pretty good

Firefox

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

i'm sad to see that no one has mentioned iceweasal/icecat. lol

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What makes them (it?) good?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 17 hours ago

i'm only half joking and half raising awareness of this project since it too is a firefox based browser.

the thing i liked about iceweasel (before it became icecat) were the nightly builds; but i switched back to firefox once they started doing that too and i don't know if icecat is still doing this.

Floorp is what I use and it is pretty decent.
