I'm trying to figure out the best browser combination for my needs. Generally, Firefox covers almost everything I need, but it's slow on Android and drains a lot of battery. I've tried Vivaldi, Chrome, and Brave. Of these, only Brave has the features I need, like full history sync (not just typed URLs), and the ability to send tabs to other devices. However, with its focus on crypto and AI, it seems too hype-driven for me. Also, none of them work on FreeBSD without using a Linux jail.

Any suggestions?

@stefano I chose Firefox purely on privacy, especially with ghostery plugin on android

Try Firefox Focus on Android. I like it, but it's pretty 'spare' and simplified compared to 'full' Firefox.

@ParadeGrotesque @stefano I personally have both Firefox and Firefox Focus installed.

I use Firefox Focus to open all links by default. It does a great job of deleting everything after it's closed so I don't have to worry about cookies or trackers.

I use Firefox when I want to open a website I need to login to or have cookies for, which happens a couple of times a day. It's synchronised with my desktop. I swipe it away when I'm done so it doesn't keep running in the background.
