Firefox. Hardened via Phoenix https://github.com/neuroradiology/Phoenix-for-Firefox?tab=readme-ov-file

I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

Bot?

No mention of phoenix here? I moved from Librewolf over concerns it wasn’t keeping up and this project does much like the arkenfox stuff does by using the current firefox and just changing some settiings and policies so you are never behind the latest version of firefox. Check out their comparisons: https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/wiki/Comparison#safe-browsing

Same thing happened to me

use another fork if you want, but you don’t have to advertise it. Let Mozilla do what it must to survive and we can use the forks or change the privacy options. I like this myself: https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix

I used librewolf until there was some concern about them updating in a timely manner.

Now I used Firefox with Phoenix to maybe get the best of both worlds and IronFox on mobile.

I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.

And that’s when I leave Bluesky too. Meta goes down within a month and the clock is ticking for Bluesky. I’ll stay in the fediverse.

It allows no external browser and if you leave the app and return the page automatically refreshes so you lose your place.

I’ve used Dark Background and Light Text and it seems to be faster than Dark Reader but I like them both

Fair enough, but so far that hasn’t bothered me. I’ve used librewolf for a year which seems to have most of the same hardening and it doesn’t break the particular sites I use.

So far, the only site that didn’t work was bsky and the solution was a simple permission.

I just installed it without difficulty and it apparently auto updates after that but I am interested in the other criticisms. Where did you read them?

Correction. It does.

It looks like Ironfox doesn’t use Firefox sync?

Well shit! How long has that been there? I still use Firefox (ok, Librewolf and Mull) but I had given up on ever seeing that on mobile.

Still waiting for it on mobile

I’m just afraid it’s gonna be another 2 years before it’s ready for everyday use

Too bad people on mastodon don’t have the ability to block an instance they find objectionable for themselves-- oh wait.

Not sure about Lemmy, but we can do this on mastodon. I don’t need someone else deciding for me.

Tldr? Couldn’t disagree more

I look forward to the additional people Threads could bring here. Once the conversations are both directions I think many people will migrate to this side to avoid ads and Meta.
