In no particular order, Vivaldi, ironfox , duck duck go, librewolf, Firefox, chromium. All for different reasons and things.

1

Same, desktop and mobile.

Also DuckDuckGo browser on mobile because it opens a tab in that automatically when I do a search from the home screen search bar on my Pixel phone. But I never log in to any services on that browser. Treating it as a perpetual incognito browser.

Same, where it's available.

On my phone it's Waterfox, on my iPad, Firefox. And have FF sync active on all of them.

I love Librewolf and wish it was also on Android.

2

Librewolf on my PCs, IronFox on my GrapheneOS phone

My employer pushes custom certs to Edge and Chrome for their internal sites, so I can't use firefox exclusively🥴.

Zen browser at home, with firefox as backup when Zen breaks, which it seems to do with some frequency.

Waiting patiently for Ladybird🙏

LibreWolf on PC. Like Firefox but with stronger protections and I love it. I used Firefox for years, but growing concerns over AI integration and Mozilla made me try it, and I'm not going back.

IronFox on Android. Works great, has good privacy controls like LibreWolf does, and websites work. I used to use Cromite, but switched due to ethical concerns over chromium and the fact that many websites were broken on that browser, even after enabling JavaScript and cookies. I was basically locked out of my college Microslop account because login was broken until I switched. Also, go to hell Microslop.

Edit: Also Tor Browser on both PC and mobile. I hate using it on websites with ads though (like seriously, how can anyone without a blocker handle such a bombardment day to day?), so I often use LibreWolf or IronFox instead.

Librewolf, Vivaldi, and ungoogled chromium on desktop.

Waterfox, Iceraven, and Mull on mobile.

Ooo... Another Iceraven user!

Once Kiwi stopped getting updates, that was the next best thing I found. Fennec was a close second.

Desktop: Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromium

Mobile: Ironfox

On the desktop, I moved from vanilla (but hardened) Firefox to Librewolf to Floorp and then to Waterfox. Ungoogled Chromium is for the times some stubborn website refuses to work with Firefox (and its forks). For mobile, I only have Ironfox and if websites don't work there, I just get my ass to the desktop.

Zen Browser. At this point I'm using it almost exclusively for the glance feature, which loads a page in an overlay above the current tab. This is incredibly useful in webmail for short-term page visits, like email verification links, etc.

8

I'm thinking about trying zen again in the near future. At the time it seemed a little "too innovative" for me, but idk. I've been brower hopping a bit, because sometimes thing don't work of Brave because of how much stuff I have it set up to block

1

Qutebrowser. It's a bare chromium engine (QtWebEngine) with some very neat vim bindigs. I even have a key sequence to toggle my proxy!

5

People specifying mobile browsers should specify operating system along side them, essentially all iOS browsers use the WebKit engine.

5

Mobile: Ironfox

Search Engine: SearXNG (Disroot)

PC: Firefox, Librewolf and Tor

Search engine: I go back and forth between DuckDuckGo and Startpage

floorp on desktop. The developers are a team of Japanese students and it works well enough. I've had weird right click behavior after some of their many updates but it syncs with mozilla just fine.

Two browsers in my android phone - Firefox (routed through Mozilla VPN) for anonymous browsing, and Ironfox (excluded from Mozilla VPN) for logged-in browsing, e.g. banks and social media.

But just one browser in my windows device - Firefox, since windows Firefox supports multi-account containers, and it's compatible with Mozilla VPN, so I can do domain-level inclusion/exclusion.

And of course I have the usual protections in each, I.e. uBlock Origin, LocalCDN and the like.

1

Desktop: Librewolf, Chromium as a fallback

Mobile: Vanadium on devices with GOS; adblocking via DNS. Cromite for my secondary phone and degoogled but not GOS tablet.

4

Firefox on desktop as I haven't taken the time to migrate to a fork like Librewolf. Ironfox on mobile.

uBlock Origin on both, Rethink DNS on mobile as a local VPN style ad blocker across all apps.

4

Mullvad on my desktop. They don't have a mobile app available, unfortunately.

2
  • Desktop: qutebrowser/qutebrowser
  • Mobile: uazo/cromite
3

Fennec (with Betterfox and uBlock, etc.) and IronFox on mobile.

LibreWolf and Brave Origin as a backup on desktop pc.

3

Firefox on Android and PC.
Additionally, Chrome & Edge on Windows.

sad to see no seamonkey here..

i use seamonkey, firefox esr and (occasionally) w3m

1

brave for most things.

firefox when there is something that brave can't handle.

(that is on my mint linux computer)

on my iphone it's brave then as a backup it's safari

2

Waterfox with sidebery, ubo and vimium c as essential extensions

1

Librewolf + Natsumi, used to use Zen but they got some wild ideas about how windows should work and I dipped

2

I tried Librewolf but found the restrictions for my own privacy too annoying as it constantly broke stuff and gave me extra work so I went back to Firefox and customized the privacy settings. I know I could've done that with Librewolf too but I found it more annoying to work with unfortunately x_x And I have Ungoogled Chrome as my backup

1

Brave. I know some people don't like it because of all the crypto nonsense, but I've never enabled any of that.

I really like it it's built in ad and content blockers. Kinda random, but I love that you can block YouTube shorts. Idk, I just don't like YouTube shorts or other short form videos like tik tok or Instagram

Home: Firefox, plus Opera for specific tasks I don’t want tied to Firefox usage

Work: Firefox, plus Edge for one M365 specific task that simply refuses to cooperate with Firefox

Mobile: Firefox, plus Orion for misc tasks that I’d rather not do with Firefox
