Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Firefox on my desktop, Fennec on my phone

Is Fennec just the old name, orn something different?

I use Firefox on Windows and Firefox on Android.

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fennec is built from source on fdroid and has proprietary bits like the Google cloud messaging (push notifications) and widevine DRM removed.

Yeah it's great apart from you can't use 2 factor hardware backed keys like yubi on it. That library is stripped out. That's why I had to move back to FF Beta on android.

same, Firefox and Fennec combo has been working great for me.

[–] JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any reason Fennec and not Mull? Just curious.

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mull doesnt scroll with 90hz for some reason

You have to set privacy.resistFingerprinting to "false". If you have another extension to make up for that, minus the refresh rate inhibition, you should be fine.
