LibreWolf on desktop—fennec on mobile (tho I should consider Mull, my history is already in Fennec). Back desktop is Brave—with backup mobile being Mulch + Fx Android Beta (to handle DRM). In the terminal, w3m picking up a new possible maintainer means it will stay my favorite.

I want to follow Ladybird, but man is that hype way overblown relative to where the project actually is & you should not trust leadership that locks communications to US-based, proprietary services (Discord + Microsoft GitHub).

On desktop I use Mercury Browser - a Firefox fork - but I'm not sure how " privacy focused " it is other than that it's Firefox based

On Android I use Brave Browser , because it meets my needs , while it was good compared to other browsers in privacy tests , I still won't recommend it 100% for privacy for the following reason ( unless you're ok with changing some settings to make it more private ) :

If you care about your privacy , you can read this browser check series for both desktop and mobile ( in German , you might need a translator ) by security expert Kuketz , the rest of the browsers are linked in the same page

Zen Browser on pc, and Fulguris on android.

I'm using Brave cause I love and need Chromium. Firefox and Vivaldi are great options too.

You could use a PiHole or nextdns.io too as a DNS blocker against ads and trackers.

Firedragon on desktop( I use garuda Linux) and Mull on android

Librewolf on desktop, Brave on mobile.

Doesn't lemmy have polls?

In descending order of good privacy:

• Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
• Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
• Mullvad
• Librewolf
• Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
• Everything else
• Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).

I've been using Kiwi for the last few years, as at the time Firefox didn't do extensions on mobile. It's Chromium based, and I've had no issues using it anywhere.

I'm on Librewolf but looking for an alternative now because it runs very poorly on my 10 years old machine.

Violincello baby! No ads, fastest loads ever, and no ads.

When I‘m on an apple device (my phone or work mac) I use Safari. On any other device: Firefox. And if the website doesn’t work properly in either one of those, ungoogled chromium.

Brave and Firefox

Brave

Firefox

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏
