Firefox has it at or near top of recommendations.
Librewolf already has it preinstalled from the start, so even one step less.

Browser with keyboard first philosophy? Could it be? I have to check it out. Do you have some resource on how to operate it without mouse?

In its settings it has keybinds for everything u can just read form their and customise as u please. Its quite new and apparently they are very open to pull requests.

I don’t use Firefox any more. I was one of their early adopters (back when it was Firebird IIRC), but a few months ago I’d just flat had enough of their shady stuff and AI bullshit. I used Librewolf for a while but gave up on it because privacy at the price of compatibility is fine until you need something that relies on that compatibility. I haven’t settled on a forever browser just yet, I’m kinda waiting until Servo becomes a viable web engine and browsers built on it emerge. For now, Vivaldi seems to be the least-bad.

Would you mind elaborating? I feel like I’m out of the loop!

The Register explained it better than I can.
Briefly: Mozilla promised they “never will” sell users’ personal information and have removed that promise from their website, implying they’ve broken that promise. They rely on Google for 90% of their revenue so they’re definitely not independent. They’re pivoting to AI, integrating large lying machines into the browser. They turned on “Smart Tabs” by default which uses AI to organise your tabs for you - except it was using 100% of CPU for a number of users. Their CEO has a sub 20% approval rating on Glassdoor too. The last straw for me? They bought Fakespot and promptly killed it.

Vivaldi… does that have a full uBlock addon? I thought it was based on Chrome, which doesn’t have that any more?
Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
It sure does. One of the reasons I’ve picked it for now. I’m not fully settled on it yet, might try others later.

This is false. Vivaldi is on manifest v3 and runs its own internal rat race against ads. uBlock origin is neutered under Vivaldi just like all Chromium-based browsers.
The idea that you’re satisfied on a downstream Chromium product but won’t try downstream Firefox products is confusing. Librewolf is nearly best in class and domintes Vivaldi in almost every relevant metric.

It’s also anti-open web since it’s just chromium. Nothing superior for your privacy over Firefox.
