I've just been looking for a replacement for Firefox Beta.

What's wrong with Firefox???
-
Mostly can't sign in to lemmy.world for some reason but otherwise I'd some change for a bit.
-
I don't believe that's a Firefox issue, unless it's a problem specifically with the beta.
-
I've signed in a few times to lemmy.world using Firefox over the last week.
Sorry for being the annoying "not for me" guy. ;-)
-
That's odd; I could sign in with lemmy.dbzer0.com without issue.
Maybe it's an issue with the beta? Have you tried regular FireFox?
-
Maybe try Jerboa for Lemmy?

You're probably gonna have to tell us what it is that you want and what it is that you don't like about Firefox Beta.

Firefox non-beta
-
Mull is a Firefox hardened browser that works perfectly out of the box.
-
I couldn't download files from a site I use because they apparently remove the referral information from requests even when you're navigating inside the same site (doesn't bring much privacy because anyone looking at the logs of that site can see the same IP moving from one page to the other).
Still a good browser, but like other projects that try to bring the Tor Browser changes to the normal web, it can break a few things.

Iceraven. Its based on Firefox. I don't like some of the UX peculiarities of Firefox but it works alright.
-
Ohh will check it out. it seems to fit my bill a bit.

What kind of features are you looking for? I've been using DuckDuckGo as my primary mobile browser for a while now and have been very happy with it.

I think brave is pretty alright. Yes the crypto stuff is hella cringe and its chromium based but it works like charm.
-
Ungoogled chromium on desktop, Bromite on android
-
Don't forget that the browser has access to all of the data that you see on your display and everything you type in. All of it. So he careful who you trust. Is it a community software, is it non-profit, is it for profit, does it have a sustainable funding / business model.

I use normal firefox and firefox clear/klar as the default browser(I really like firefox clear)
-
Even though I'm quite eager to try new softwares, for browser I usually return back to Firefox or brave browser.
Only recently when I tried Vivaldi browser, I don't feel the urge to return to Firefox/brave.
-
IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!
-
I think it offers alot of great features if you use a samsung phone. However the adblockers are not as good as ublock on firefox!
Therfeore I use both!!

-
Brave is one of the only browsers on android that does decent ad blocking, but it's chrome based so it also works reasonably well on mobile sites expecting chrome.
-
It's worth knowing there are also a number of Firefox based browsers that have full extension support, and even the base Firefox app supports a couple extensions including ublock origin, so Firefox based browsers will also do extremely well with ad blocking :)
but agreed, websites definitely don't test Firefox as much as they should though, so you do sometimes need to switch to something chromium based if you want a browser with Mozilla's web engine instead of Google's
-
Unfortunately Brave's own blocking engine isn't capable to block as much as uBlock Origin, which Firefox supports on Android. But then Firefox might not work well on all sites... it's a trade-off. Firefox works on the sites I use though, so that's what I've been using.
-
But then they do stuff like this
-
I like Brave on my Android phone, too. I use the browser and its search engine (which is OK, DDG and Bing gets me better / different results).
