@fluxmind Thank you for the suggestion. I see that Floorp is based on Firefox. Do Firefox add-ons and extensions work on it?
@bibliolater yes. since its a fork you have access to all the FF addons.
:)
This post seems like a good place to start. It lists desktop Firefox forks or browsers running the Gecko engine
@bibliolater Vivaldi?
@deelzbth Thank you, I will have a look into it.
@lukask Thank you.
@bibliolater I have had good experiences with librewolf
https://librewolf.net/
(Windows, Linux and Mac)
on Android Fennec.
@edanomil Thank you.
@bibliolater I main #librewolf as my browser of choice, sometimes I use #floorpbrowser as well. Both are firefox forks and can use firefox addons.
@bibliolater im not going to bother even talking about chrome and chrome forks, for obvious reasons.
in regard to chrome vs firefox, we really only have forks.
I am currently using Floorp.
Terrible name, I know haha, but its SUPER customizable, on the verge of too much, but I got it exactly the way I like, and it gets updated regularly.
updates are really important to me, as web browsers are a premium attack surface.
