@rl_dane LibreWolf on desktop, and Waterfox on Android. Vivaldi for the odd time I need a "clean" browser with no ad-ons. Haven't used FF for quite some time

What's the difference between LibreWolf and WaterFox?

@rl_dane tbh, am not certain whats the difference is "under the hood". I read up on the "best" alternatives to Firefox if you value privac and LibreWolf was consistently recommended. But my job provides my phone, and that means I can choose Samsung or iPhone and no custom OS. (And no TikTok, Telegram or Deepseek) LibreWolf is apparently not in the Play store. On private desktop I run linux Mint and its a in the main repositories.

For Android, I can recommend IronFox.

You can download it directly on your Android phone and install it, or use Obtanium or an Fdroid client with their custom repo added.
