Blåhaj Lemmy - Choose Your Interface

I had no idea about any of this. Have been using brave on android for a few weeks and very happy with it. What would you recommend instead?
Just keep using it, if it works for you. Every company that makes browsers is a bit shit around the edges, there’s no perfect, pure, wholesome browser. Just use what you want. If you like edge for android, use that. If you want to use vim, use that too.
Netscape Navigator on Windows Mobile Works for me.
Congratulations on missing the point.

It grinds your gears that people don’t do what you want, doesn’t it?

Have you tried letting people use whatever the fuck browser they want?

I’ve been using Iceraven with uBlock and it’s been pretty great so far. I use Obtainium to keep it updated directly from the repo.

A Firefox fork.
Fork? Uhg wtf is wrong with firefox now? This better not be about AI
Oh, have I got news for you
A bunch of forks just add extra functions, patches or defaults on top of firefox. It’s not a hard fork as in they maintain everything themselves, they’re still based on the latest official firefox releases
Yea I’m going to go ahead and recommend against opinionated firefox. Oh yea I want some dweeb with misplaced anger and too much time on their hands to dictate how I use the internet. Bitch asses.

You (the end user) decide how you want to use the internet. The forks you’re probably angry about are the ‘hardened forks’, but whether or not you care about their goals and want to use those is a choice only you can make. Most of what they do is basically change some default configs and remove some ‘bad’(according to the maintainers and the users) features.

There’s also forks like zen that under the hood use firefox, but customize the user experience significantly.

Long way to say what is captured in two words: opinionated fork.
Firefox Focus, Ironfox, or others recommended here. I will note that Waterfox was always quite slow on an android device of mine.
I really like vivaldi
