Yeah well I just use Firefox on Linux
- lockhouse 3y agoWhat do you use for a mobile phone?
- SXX 3y agoFor last 3 years Firefox works great on Android and does have working ad-blokers.
- lockhouse 3y agoAre you using one of those de-Googled custom Android ROMs or stock?
- SXX 3y agoHonestly nope. I mostly need phone for banking apps that thanks to Google DRM (SafetyNet) dont play too well with custom ROMs. Yet Firefox work quite well across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android and it has huge advantage of having proper adblocking. So it's mostly no brainer which browser to use.
- miloignis 3y agoI am - GrapheneOS is excellent. I do unfortunately run sandboxed Google Play Services for access to Google Maps & Google Play through which I get my banking app. Pretty much everything else (launcher, podcasts, VLC, Firefox, FluffyChat&Element for Matrix messaging, ntfy.sh/UnifiedPush) is via f-droid, and works great.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoOn a Pixel or something else?
- miloignis 3y agoUsed Pixel 4, yeah - I think the later pixels have better security features & support from Graphene, but this way I also help reduce ewaste.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoJust interested because I like Graphene but don't want to use a Pixel. I'd love to run it on a FairPhone honestly. Looks like DivestOS is my best bet.
- zgk7iqea 3y agoUnfortunately, Firefox‘s security on Android is .. not the best (https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html#android-sandbox https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht...)
- DANmode 3y agoIt's not just Android. Unfortunately.
- arsome 3y agoWow that article that completely misses the point, yes, Chrome has better sandboxing, which offers it marginally better security, but that has nothing to do with Firefox's far better privacy features. For people who are not spies or hoarding millions worth of cryptocurrencies on their desktop PCs, they're not likely running across zero day exploits on the regular. They are however running across trackers galore and Firefox's tracking protection and anti-fingerprinting features are likely to make a larger difference in practice for all but the most targeted of individuals.
- Alifatisk 3y agoI’m running Firefox on both iOS & macOS. Also installed it on my pc.
- WorldPeas 3y agoI use Fennec F-droid on android
- Arnavion 3y agoFirefox. My phone runs Linux (postmarketOS).
- fwlr 3y agoAlso a good option. Edge and Chrome are definitely on the biting edge of this particular ratchet, while Firefox and Safari are at least half a whole rotation behind. (We could split hairs about who is a click behind whom, and how much of that is because of development velocity rather than intention, but the difference is minor compared to where Chrome and Edge are at.)
- hackerbrother 3y agoI use Lynx on OpenBSD.
- pacija 3y agoI wold have problem with Lynx on OpenBSD, but Iridium on FreeBSD is quite ok, as long as I add obligatory ublock origin, umatrix and cookie autodelete extensions.
