I really like the Zen browser. It’s Firefox-based, open source and privacy focused with AI removed but it’s also really pretty and is built around vertical tabs

You know what would be nice? If the group gets saved as bookmarks (maybe
Session/session-name) and you could just save/load such a session as a group.JayGray91@piefed.social 7 hours ago
I love zen browser and its workspaces. I just cannot use any other Firefox forks anymore without it. It’s more than just containers in Firefox.

Ia this just desktop? No mobile?
NotSteve_@piefed.ca 10 hours ago
For the time being yeah. I still use Firefox on mobile myself but I do hope they release a mobile version at some point

I know I’ll get flak for this, but I am sticking with FireFox, because it saves my passwords.
gustofwind@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
I’d recommend switching to something like Bitwarden for your passwords so you can take them with you and also switch your stuff around if you ever want to
FenderStratocaster@piefed.social 18 hours ago
You CAN export them. I migrated to Ff from Chrome a while back.
KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
You can, and they sync with your Mozilla account. I had your reasoning when using Microslop Edge and Microslop Authenticator. I set up Bitwarden now and while it’s not perfect, I do prefer to have full control of my passwords.

I’ve been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that’s what I did and it retained my passwords. I’m not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I’ve tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.

Your browser clock is not off. LibreWolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser etc. set your browser’s reported timezone to GMT to not reveal which timezone you’re actually in.
And I don’t understand what you’re talking about in the last sentence.

I’m going to save your comment and install it on my Linux machine when I get home.

Try waterfox maybe?
FenderStratocaster@piefed.social 17 hours ago
Waterfox are you talkin’ about? Am I right?!?!?!?! lol
in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 17 hours ago
Waterfox? Fennec-about-it!
Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours ago
So can librewolf
You can still use firefox sync as well
TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 15 hours ago
it’s got settings
Well yeah, Librewolf is basically nothing but settings.
Firefox settings.
Confuses me no end when people rage against Mozilla and then recommend a product that cannot exist without Mozilla.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 29 minutes ago
A software has roughly three parts: core functionality, UI, default settings. Zen does the UI part and default settings different.

Whats confusing about it? People took something that was going bad and made it good again. Thats the benefit of open source. Even if Mozilla goes closed source the already existing forks can continue
albbi@piefed.ca 13 hours ago
You can switch to WaterFox and it seamlessly uses the FireFox sync to use all your passwords. Very easy drop in replacement.

The defaults are bad and some options are either: fully protect fingerprinting OR no protection at all
PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
I think even with Librewolf you need to open the about:config page and disable browser.ml settings.
Kr4u7@discuss.tchncs.de 18 hours ago
afaik is that fixed by now - the team strongly opposes ai and stated that they want to keep it as clean as possible
PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Oh, glad to hear that. I still check out of privacy-guarding habit.
Kr4u7@discuss.tchncs.de 17 hours ago
Fair and valid.

I switched from Firefox to Librewoof about a month ago and it’s been wonderful. I can’t imagine what it would take for me to switch back to Firefox. I’ll probably ride Librewolf until the project dies.
CheerfulPassionFruit@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
As a libreworlf user, I’d have to advise some caution to regular users. A lot of sites are broken as images won’t load and “fancier” web apps don’t work super well either. Yes it’s an easy fix, but expecting someone to go look in the config files to get an image to load is too much for a lot of people

That’s why I recommend Waterfox instead to non technical users
