What browsers would you recommend? I use Brave but it's still Chromium under the hood. It's the only one that I never had trouble with adblock though. Also lets me play youtube on mobile when my screen is locked.
- StingyJelly 5mo agoBrave origin on linux looks pretty solid now. Now I'm using that and Librewolf.
- sevenzero 5mo agoI just checked it out, but it removes Tor access? It would pretty much downgrade the regular browser
- StingyJelly 5mo agoI think using tor in brave just makes you stand out more - stock tor browser is probably a better setup. Whonix even better.
- heavyset_go 5mo agoIt helps if you're doing mundane things and want to help people who need to mix their sensitive traffic with it. More people "legitimately" using Tor makes it less likely to have its exit nodes outright blocked, as well, and assuming all traffic from them is malicious.
- StingyJelly 5mo agoThat's charitable, but even then you probably want to avoid fingerprinting...
- dwedge 5mo agoI will never use Brave after the debacle where they injected content into sites downloaded over HTTPS to pretend people were promoting their crypto token and adding a "donate" button on the page.
- StingyJelly 5mo agoThat made me avoid it for a long time but there hasn't been more concerning behavior since, so some point, we can move on.
- anthk 5mo agoBrave it's spyware, keep going with Librewolf. You can disable some fingerprinting support for WebGL -but- you need UBo for sure (and JShelter).
- chinathrow 5mo agoFirefox.

- ranger_danger 5mo agoTubular app does, and it blocks ads
- freehorse 5mo agoIn iOS kinda yes; you have to request desktop version, and once you activate the lock screen for the first time you have to press “play”. Then it just plays and auto plays in the background. Don’t know about android, but there is also an extension there that blocks the visibility page api for YouTube.
- sham1 5mo agoYes, actually! Well, it does require you to install an extension[0], but it can be done. [0]: <https://github.com/mozilla/video-bg-play https://github.com/mozilla/video-bg-play>
- sevenzero 5mo agoThats good to know, but I am a "out of the box" person. I never want to have to manually install extensions as thats just more stuff to remember when setting up a new machine. Yea thats a me problem, but still.
- kioleanu 5mo agoYou want to have your cake and eat it too, I think the best solution in your case is paying for youtube

- kuerbel 5mo agoI still use Firefox. It does all I need with no ads. That's nice.
- dotcoma 5mo agoCurrently using Helium.
- yard2010 5mo agoVivaldi - built in ad blocker, the creator is a nice guy, transparent business model. It might be rough around the edges, but it's much better from every alternative imho.
- robin_reala 5mo ago…and Chromium under the hood.
- stalfosknight 5mo agoSafari
- liminis 5mo agoArc is still great on macOS (not so much the Windows build, essentially an abandoned beta) even if it's not getting active development anymore. I'm defaulting to Firefox ever since I moved my desktop to CachyOS, but I need to either reacquaint myself with its add-on situation after a long arc of using "chrome alternatives", or migrate to something else niche. Vivaldi was what I was sold on before Arc caught my attention through its wonderful UX/UI.
- okinok 5mo agoI heard Arc was abandoned and not getting any more work because they were moving to their new AI browser. So, Zen has replaced it for me, and it is based on Firefox which is nice to avoid the chromium
- pamcake 5mo agoKonform Browser Mullvad Browser Tor Browser for those occasions
