@lambdacalculus @Tutanota
Desktop: Librewolf. Ungoogled Chromium if I need a Chrome-like browser.
Mobile: Ironfox, Cromite or Vivaldi if I need a Chrome-like browser.

and why in gods name would you put puffin on the list. it's literally browsing but in the cloud, there's zero reason to mention it on a privacy / security focused list

[scottytrees@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Just use Firefox people, it's not that complicated.

[xnhq@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota I use Waterfox and Librewolf

[pgiulan@federate.social]

@Tutanota interesting exclusion

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Tutanota I can't take these recommendations seriously, they include Brave.

For the uninitiated, https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/

@Tutanota
Went back to Firefox about 6 months ago and it's been fine.  I don't love the AI being in it but it's completely opt out now and the free VPN is pretty handy.

@Tutanota
Firefox. The only time I use Chrome now is for Remote Desktop and as soon as I find a good free replacement, that will be over as well.

@Tutanota Kagi Orion Browser. @kagihq

[darkathena@beige.party]

@Tutanota @Guillotine_Jones Waterfox

@Tutanota In the blog, the best browser listed is

> LibreWolf fork for best privacy

as the best browser. This is incredibly cynical, since your email doesn’t work in it — something I’ve been reporting for a long time. Nothing has changed for the better since then.

Attached: 1 image #tutanota #librewolf Tuta is no longer friends with LibreWolf. To use it, you need browsers with tracking functionality. It's unfortunate. It used to be a good service.

Mastodon (mastodon.social)

@Tutanota I have used Firefox for many years but recently persistent 'updates' which involves a massive irritating popup about changes to the UI that you have to close which interrupts your workflow is irksome and I am now looking at alternatives. Recently ditched Facebook for Mastodon, Twitter / X for Bluesky, looking forward to ditching Google as well and am looking forward to Graphene being rolled out for other devices.

[fedithom@social.saarland]

@Tutanota

I use Librewolf
@librewolf

[lottajg@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Vivaldi. You can add custom block lists in Android, probably for other platforms i assume.

[sibshops@mastodon.online]

@Tutanota Firefox, it works well in snap

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@Woodcat @Tutanota What do you mean 'YOUR email doesn't work in it?' Mine certainly does.

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@XNHQ @Tutanota Why both?

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@hurt138 @Tutanota ... and another one.

[xnhq@mastodon.social]

@khleedril @Tutanota I need at least two browsers for my needs specifically. I need two of pretty much everything including two emails. That is just me specifically/

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @elduvelle@neuromatch.social @Tutanota@mastodon.social @alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space @t3rcermillenium@mastodon.social Does that impact the built-in ad blocking in Vivaldi, or 'just' the extensions?

I haven't compared the efficacy of the approaches since I do some blocking at the DNS level on my network, so I'm not a good test case. But...
