@itsfoss I see a lot of reference to Zen Browser. It looks great, I like the organization features, and it's FOSS. But what about plugins? There are a few plugins that I use that aren't directly related to making the browser behave that I use constantly. Proton Pass is a good example. It looks as if the plugin space is lacking so far, but the benefits may actually outweigh this shortcoming.
It's based on Firefox, so as long as the plugins you use are available there, you can install it on Zen.

@itsfoss LOL Vivaldi is NOT FOSS (neither is Chrome).

@itsfoss Vivaldi PC + Android

@wolfkin @Kdude @rustbuckett @itsfoss You'd be surprised how many people actually don't care if their data is pilfered through their favorite apps, for example. They'd rather continue using their apps. Privacy and security are learned. So raising awareness is important, but more so is what you said about having some guardrails embedded by default. You can be sure a lot of companies will never do that, though, since people are their commodities.
@AAKL @itsfoss @Kdude @wolfkin I get so frustrated with people when talking about privacy. The argument, "I don't care. I don't have anything to hide." completely misses the point. You actually have everything to hide! Privacy is a human right. It wasn't so much an issue when the only way to invade someone's privacy was to actually go to their location and actively, physically invade. But it *is* an issue now, and it's only getting worse.

@rustbuckett @itsfoss @Kdude @wolfkin You get to a point where silence is the best answer when faced with "the app can take all the date it wants."
You can't protect people from themselves.

@rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss @Kdude That's a good point at the end. It used to be more work to invade someone's privacy. And like income, awareness hasn't caught up to modern times.
It's a touch less about apathy, and a touch more about being unable to comprehend how dangerous any given stance is.
I'm certainly not immune to it and I'm just another nobody online.

@itsfoss im enjoying waterfox

@itsfoss Vivaldi!
-
@itsfoss@mastodon.social Vivaldi
Ja, die UI ist proprietär, und nur die Renderingengine Chromium, aber ich war schon großer Freund des alten Opera wegen seiner Anpassbarkeit, und Mausgesten out-of-the-Box. KI-Müll, den fast alle anderen einbauen, brauch ich nicht. Eingebauter Werbeblocker. -
@itsfoss@mastodon.social #Firefox since ever
-
@itsfoss librewolf for daily driving, ungoogled-chromium for WebUSB / WebBluetooth.
If you use brave, firefox, or chrome, you might as well give out thumbdrives full of your browsing data to aggregators.
-
@itsfoss I like Trivalent (SecureBlue), its a nice simple and secure browser.
-
@itsfoss firefox & vivaldi.
-
@itsfoss Trivalent on desktop, Vanadium on mobile
-
@itsfoss When I was on Windows, I mostly used Brave until I learned it was supporting crypto stuff. When I switched to Linux, I started with Firefox and now use Vivaldi in parallel. I need to do a deeper dive into Librewulf and Waterfox to see which will replace Firefox for me.

@itsfoss
I use LibreWolf
