The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can’t use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it’s ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

    Firefox sync works on all Firefox forks (I’m using LibreWolf on Linux and Fennec on Android for example)

      Firedragon (a Floorp-Firefox mod) has its own sync server by default. But “Share/Send to” from Android Firefox to PC Firedragon works out of the box.

        Oh wow, thanks! How do they sustain the hosting costs? Donations?

          It was. I was using it for a year or two until a couple of months ago when it seemed abandoned. Moved to IronFox in the meantime.

          Good to hear it’s up and running. Thanks!

          Edit: I remember what and how: When DivestOS went under, Fennec did too. Don’t know who’s this who continued.
