This December, if there's one tech New Year's resolution I'd encourage you to have, it's switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox. According to recent posts on social media, Firefox's market share is slipping. We should not let that happen. There are two main reasons why switchin

    Any Alternative to Brave? I have FF as primary browser but for some websites which tends to break on FF, I would like to use something non-Chrome/Brave on Windows.

      Librewolf sounds like Brave, but built on top of Firefox. It also doesn’t spam you with stupid ads like Brave does.

        Librewolf is better I think. It’s pretty much a privacy hardened Firefox with the telemetry taken out. No odd crypto scheme like Brave either.

      FF is primary but started using Vivaldi as my chromium based browser… I’m definitely not nerd level privacy geek but it hits all my check boxes for configuration, customization, and ease of use.

      I keep chromium as a secondary if something breaks on Firefox. It’s the foundation of chrome without all the silly Google shit.

      If the site breaks on Firefox, probably it only works in chrome based, so I’d say just use ungoogled-chromium.

      As far as non-Chrome goes, there’s only two other modern browser engines. Webkit which is Apple stuff, and Gecko which is Firefox. So I don’t believe so, no.

      Which sites? I haven’t had that in years.

      (And you can report them to Mozilla and they will fix it by either fixing a bug or creating a workaround for that site)

        Top of my Head: Ms Teams.

        Also, on side note, FF on Desktop doesn’t support PWAs while on Mobile they do.
