🚨🚨 BREAKING: Google Chrome to kill uBlock Origin for good 🚨🚨

[myrtlears@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota You can also use any MV3 blockers like uBlock Origin Lite, it works just as well from my experience.

@Tutanota
Well, DuckDuckGo desktop browsers aren't FOSS, neither support Linux nor uBO.
Puffin is proprietary too.
Pale moon has an old-schooled design and a buggy ad blocker (likely causing unique fingerprint), while IceCat shipping upgrade quite slowly (not ideal for security reason)

There are other FOSS, privacy-respecting (or protecting) browsers.
Only the only trustworthy browsers are the open source ones.

@Tutanota Firefox mostly, and Vivaldi now and then.

[pouakai@mastodon.social]

@Vash @t3rcermillenium @alexadeswift @Tutanota

but @brave still supports MV2, while even built ad blocker into its core.
So Google's Manifest V3 scam won't be a problem for it.

[bellpeep@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota I personally like zen, but all of the options you listed are pretty good.

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@placebo I had the same experience with Vivaldi. Claims to have a built in adblocker, but it let a lot of ads through, so I quickly stopped using it.

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@s10n I saw plenty of ads on Vivaldi even with pihole helping it out. Pihole can't block self-hosted ads, and the Vivaldi ad blocker isn't fit for purpose.

@Tutanota Safari.

@Tutanota Please include a source if you're gonna lead with a "BREAKING:" line like that ._.

[weirdfoodie@thecanadian.social]

@fbinin @Tutanota Betterbird has been doing things quite well here.

[ivolimmen@toot.community]

@Tutanota I'm using water for some time now and it works just fine. Getting an obscure browser to work perfectly under Linux does require some tinkering.

[vp9kf@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Why isn't Vivaldi on your list?

[wizzkidd@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Firefoxian here.

[simondueckert@colearn.social]

@Tutanota Helium

@Tutanota Mullvad Browser is my No. 1 choice and always has been, but Brave is a close 2nd. Mullvad is exactly what I've been searching for between speed and privacy! But Brave works for me as well as an account holding browser. And IronFox deserves to be mentioned, it's practically the Mullvad exquivalent for Android.

[sharpcheddargoblin@reclusive.blog]

@Tutanota I'm using Waterfox mostly. Zen was fine too. I'd like to use Vivaldi but that's Chromium-based and unfortunately not any option anymore.

[chobbo@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota duckduckgo!

[paul@notnull.space]

@Tutanota Librewolf or Ironfox on mobile

[tizlit@freeradical.zone]

@Tutanota Librewolf. Why isn't it listed here?

[cypnk@masto.hackers.town]

@Tutanota Basically Firefox on every device I'm currently using

If my Blackberry was still supported, I'd be trying to run it there too. Somehow...
