Maybe I need a new browser lol. Anyone use duckduckgo browser?

I remember when phoenix came out it was so awesome. Then I went to chrome for a while, but it started with the memory leaks and I at some point went back to FF. Or vice versa idk. I don't pay enough attention apparently.
 
I watched that yesterday and tried librewolf which looks exactly like FF but after importing my bookmarks and pw and stuff it wouldn't keep me signed in to anything so I am back to ff for now. I've been using FF since it's been around but it is getting to be pretty sluggish over the years.

Nope. Just find it ironic that it's an eastern product and 'privacy' in the same sentence. Knowing nothing about it... I wouldn't trust what it's doing with your data....

Agreed...and kind of part of my point...

... to me, that isn't an improvement for 'privacy' concerns. It may not be cookies, just taking your data (browsing history, trends, other data that's useful to a different country)................think....tiktok. :p


I'm not a paranoid one, to be sure, but, it feels like Floorp isn't a lesser of any evil (from what little I know).

Que? Is there more to this post?
 
There are a ton of browsers to choose from, not just the 4 great everyone knows about, now that FF is selling out. Fortified FF and ungoogled Chrome and all the ones that come from them, Arc (win11 only), Safari (Apple only), Opera, Vivaldi, Mullvad, Ghostery, DuckDuckGo, Brave... You want security, you go Tor/Brave/Librewolf or the fortified versions of FF and ungoogled Chrome, although I read they are kinda hard to get going properly and not many updates. Brave has been a breeze, although slightly slower than chrome/edge, it never seems to get sluggish. Mullvad and Arc are kind of an unknown, anyone with Win11 want to try it out and say what they think about it?

Western products are not the epitome of privacy guardians either.
 
I'm only using Firefox for YT. The only reason being sponsorblock add on. Otherwise I use Brave with DuckDuckGo search. Just wish Brave would add sponsor block add on.

YT+ad block/sponsor block experience is far superior to YT Premium which I also have but rarely use.
