Me, I have a low threat model so I mainly try to stay away from proprietary stuff when possible (Chrome, Edge ect) I use an eclectic mix of browsers.

I use Vivaldi (I know it’s not entirely FOSS but I like the customizability of it), for my amnesiac browsers I use Firefox Focus on Android, and LibreWolf on PC, and for when I want as much anonymity as possible I use Tor with Orbot active routing traffic to Switzerland.

I used to use Brave Browser a lot because I like the user interface but I kinda got turned off by all the crypto stuff they’ve been peddling. And as far as I know, Bromite hasn’t been updated in quite some time (please elighten me if I’m wrong about that I’ve been out of the loop for a while) , and I was weirded out by the developer’s statement “I’ll get around to it sometime.”

Mull is great but very slow to search imo, when I search for something it takes a long time to load. Or it takes a long time to load a website. It could be internet speed but other browsers work just fine,and I’ve tested Mull on other WiFis.

I sometimes also use DuckDuckGo but the search results are so bad that I just find myself searching google to find what I want. No offensive if anyone uses those I personally just haven’t found much use out if them.

So what browsers do you use for privacy and security?

Edit: Sorry for the long post and edited for clarity.

    I tend to switch mobile OSs frequently because of my curiosity for custom ROMs. Overall I mainly use FOSS Browser or iodé Browser (a fork of FF by iodé OS) and Tor on my mobile.

    On my work notebook it is FF with AdBlocker (and Snowflake), rarely Edge, and Tor.

    On my private notebook, which I use the least, it is FF with NoScript, Privacy Badger, and AdBlocker and Tor.
