So, I found some Firefox forks. Those would be: floorp, zen browser, tor browser and librewolf. Could anyone help me decide which one to use?
librewolf as daily driver, mullvad for looking shit up on ecommerce sites with new ID each time
tor if you are feeling paranoid that day.
ungoogled chrome when none of the above work.
mullvad for looking shit up on ecommerce sites with new ID each time
Is it sufficient? I’d always assumed it was easily targetable with the IP so I started using TOR for that purpose
tor has geo location issues.
but yeah ideally that tactic should be used vpn, you aint wrong for it to be best, IP is leaking aint good.
i am not sure how often isp will change ip and i am not sure how easy it is for them to link up fresh ID’s on mullvad though either.
I see.
tor has geo location issues.
Could you explain what you mean with this? I’m not sure I understand
Recommend websites will use your ip to serve your geos products. Tor randomly pops out in mostly EU countries
Zen browser was my favourite but this put me off:
I’m pretty sure that they removed a lot of the telemetry in a very recent update, so I’m not sure how it stacks up now.
Mullvad browser is also another great Privacy web browser but probably be more suited if you have a active subscription to mullvad VPN since it’s point is to blend in with other mullvad VPN users.
In terms of use, librewolf feels exactly the same as firefox. I chose librewolf but zen is my 2nd pick try them both.
Whichever one you decide to use, please do not modify the UI. I made that mistake with almost all of them. You don’t want to use a browser with a broken UI.
Anyone know of a desktop equivalent to IronFox?
prob librewolf i use ironfox on mobile and librewolf on my pc and its very similar
I meant more on the security front than UI, but Librewolf does mention “security” 5 times on their page so I guess they are probably more secure than base FireFox.
it is has a lot more setrings to
I can’t believe Javascript on PDF’s is enabled on default on Firefox. NOBODY wants that.
Librewolf.
My setup is librewolf as main, ungoogled chromium as backup for problematic sites.
I use librewolf and arkenfox
I use FireDragon. Not on your list, but it’s yet another Firefox fork to look at.
I’ve been using Floorp for a few months and it’s been as easy as possible to replace Firefox.
I was using (and really liked) Librewolf until I heard that they were having trouble keeping up with Firefox updates. Now I’m using the Phonenix configurations for Firefox and keeping the FF updates separate from the privacy configuration settings. Avoiding forks lets you get the best of both worlds.

waterfox doesnt get regular updates, look at their github, theres one guy. (not specifically adressed to you OP)
i use librewolf and just turned some options on again so it doest delete everything when i shut it down.
- Zen is a little too fancy for me and it may contain telemetry.
- Haven’t tried floorp, but seems promising (may try it later).
- Tor browser if you want at most privacy with actual IP masking.
- Librewolf is my favourite, it’s fast and simple. Yet with good privacy features turned on by default.
What would be a good option for the iPhone environment (changing phones not an option)? There are four different Tor browser apps from different developers. Using DuckDuckGo right now, but any other better options?
Onion browser from Mike Tigas was recommended as alternative to official one for iPhone by developers. For normal browsers you currently have Firefox, Firefox focus and Orion from kagi. Those options are safest ones from what I know on iPhone
