What browser has everything been using? LibreWolf seems like a good FF replacement. Is there others I should be looking at?

I should try some other browsers, but I've been too lazy. Firefox has been satisfactory for years on Linux, Windows, and Android. (Yes, I know Mozilla is going in some unsettling directions these days.) On Linux I'm also using 'ungoogled-chromium', because some sites hate Firefox. (Works okay, but it is seriously unGoogled, so if you need something from the Web Store, you'll have to manually install a Chromium Web Store addon first.) On Android I've been using Kiwi, which is also Chromium-based and (I think) mostly unGoogled.

Nowadays, I use TOR for everything that does not require a login, and FIrefox with privcacy addons where I need Logins. I tried Librewolf but it was a bit more cumbersome than FF, AFAIR. But I do not like the direction FF is going, either. Still, the ecosystem is one of the larger and more useful ones.

I like Netsurf which is one of the few that uses its own HTML rendering engine. It uses Duktape javascript engine. However it can be trouble with some websites.

almost ashamed to say so, but i do like vivaldi. isn't opensource, but the flexibility gets me. privacy is also pretty good.
