Now working on my beloved laptop, there's no comparison; mobile for me is on the road only, much more limited.
Waterfox homepage is at https://www.waterfox.net/
There are TWO versions now:
- Classic is a custom build of FF, with all telemetry removed, it also supports lots of older Extensions which Mozilla has deemed no longer supported. I used this for years now.
- Currrent just launched, this Octover, and is based on current FF code, on the Aurora channel. Current version is 68.0a2 as listed above, and it's amazingly FAST and stable.
It has become my go to Browser, installed on my various systems and in my phone as well, the Android version.
@design_RG not replace, they're different, i would use both. ublock origin offers many other features, like blocking individual http/css elements on page
@iamo Oh, thank you. I had not heard of uMatrix until now, searched and found that ghacks page mentioning it, and they recommend one only. Will have to try it.
Just saw a mention to an extension for Firefox and compatibles, that can replace uBlock Origin. With extra privacy and finer controls. uMatrix for Firefox :
