I'm glad I stopped using chrome / chromium a long time ago.
What do you use?
firefox based browsers, ublock, and I avoid using google accounts.
What other Firefox-based browsers do you use besides Firefox?
probably meant Gecko browsers (Firefox use Gecko rendering engine). Other browsers that use this is like Pale Moon, K-Meleon, and Waterfox
That's what I thought. I'm still curious about which ones OP uses..
I just use one browser actually, Floorp. What I like about it it's the 'Profiles' feature, before Floorp I used Firefox, Librewolf, etc.
With Floorp I can just create another profile that it's like another browser. It's probably the best Firefox based browser but it's not very known.
But you can already do this with Firefox.
Unless Floorp makes it easier? (Because on Firefox you have to bring the about:profiles tab first.)
I could not find it on Firefox without the: "about:profiles" that you mentioned, probably it's not easy to find, it's the first time I see it on Firefox. In Floorp is: Settings -> Profiles -> -Create, switch, config...
Oh, are you talking about mobile or desktop? I don't think it's possible on mobile...
