There are two choices, Chrome/Chromium and Firefox. Firefox is the good one.
Since the discussion has come up, let me ask this here.
I have been using Mull for sometime now. It's all good but are there any forks of Firefox that are like chromium forks eg Cromite? Cromite is really good as it offers a ton of extra features too. Mull is great as far as privacy is concerned but I want few features as well. Especially if I could change the app logo and launch animation to stock Firefox that'd be great.
Floorp is just Firefox with some extensions, Vivaldi iirc is still chromium underneath etc etc
Your best option is just plain old Firefox configured the way you like it
There are a couple of new "from the ground up" browsers being developed at the moment but they aren't ready from what I understand
I would like to add Librewolf, which is = Firefox - (Mozilla tracking/recommendations) + security hardening
Don't expect it to behave like a normal browser. If you think some feature is disabled, it's to avoid browser fingerprinting, not because it's buggy. Read their FAQ before committing to the browser.
I never got on with librewolf, it just feels like one of those things that doesn't really benefit me much and needlessly makes life harder
Use Librewolf if
- You do not approve of Mozilla's direction with Firefox (I personally don't have an issue)
- You don't want to be fingerprinted by every websites
- Want to be very privacy conscious
If these are not your requirements, stick with Firefox. When you switch to Librewolf, you have to give up some QoL features (dark mode, adaptable screen size and more). Unfortunately, privacy in the modern web requires some sacrifice.
