@Tutanota another vote for Librewolf

@Fakepivot hmm, some more, that are similar, but not the exact same

@Tutanota Brave Browser

@Tutanota Firefox!

This is obviously LLM generated SEO slop. "Their privacy Shield combines features you can only get on Firefox by adding certain extensions like NoScript and HTTPSEverywhere." HTTPS Everywhere was sunsetted in 2023 and every browser since 2021 has a https everywhere function natively. There's also nothing new about MV2 and uBlock here, it's just clickbait. Very dissapointing!

@Tutanota LibreWolf

[seachaint@masto.hackers.town]

@cypnk @Tutanota I've been usind and enjoying Waterfox. On my distros it's only available as a flatpak, which complicates a few things, but not by much (and probably worth the isolation). It's very much "Firefox sans BS" but I'd be happy to see them and other "forks" just wholesale abandoning FF as a base and establishing their own "core".

@Tutanota Mozilla Firefox

[draken@masto.nyc]

@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.

[stoneware945@mastodon.social]

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.

[ratsammich@mastodon.social]

@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

[woodcat@mastodon.social]

@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.
