I got one of the budget phones from Muerna, the Teracube 2s. You gotta go really light on the apps on this phone if you want to find e/OS alternatives, otherwise itll be either laggy, slow or just break and won’t work. Fennec has a lot of privacy features on its app, to the point where some things just won’t freaking load if your really concerned about internet traffic, ads, trackers etc. For me it just dosent work on this phone unless I use it on my other phone ive been experimenting with, Galaxy A16 5g.

I really wanted to use Fennec but its so freaking slow

Hmmm I just downloaded it and so far its fine. 🤔Im gonna give it a shot and try it out

Thats what I do too. But for mobile, currently I’m using DuckDuckGo until I find something that can work right on this phone. The default browser for this phone is garbage and Iv been trying to find an alternative since then.

For everyone using Firefox, are you using it with microG or some type of sandbox? Even when going private, you can’t download it unless you have Google Play services on mobile. Ive tried to see if it works without google and unfortunately it dosent. If that’s the case for mobile, then technically we really shouldn’t be using it either.

Besides CoMaps, only other Google Map alternative that works close to it is Mapquest. Its not as private but it gets the job done and works suprisingly well.

Despite the dilemma of drought and disease, no one is also mentioning how a lot of our materials that are being used to take care of the cattle are imported from another country. The vehicles, fencing posts, barbed wire, possibly medicine, parts for the vehicles, etc. Part of it costing more from buying materials to take care of the cattle, nothing is barely made in house and if it is, its once again coming from somewhere else to take care of what little product they have.

It feels so slow and laggy to me, especially since when they started getting heavily advertised as the browser for people switching from Google. It used to run way better before they had that massive influx.

Even if that’s the case, these browsers that use Mozilla (Firefox) seem to be the only one (from what I’m learning) where I dont have to disable so many features just to get it to work 🤷

I recently downloaded Ironfox to try it along with Fennec for mobile. So far no issues.

Yeah the whole, constantly proving your not a robot, enable cookies and/or JavaScript, etc. It gets to much, like I get it about privacy, but come on.

I might try that to, I recently went back to Fennec and I agree, sometimes I just wanna search up something quick and not really deal with the loop holes

After hearing on the recent controversy from Mullvad, I’m not gonna go that route in using them. Same with anything Proton, don’t want the drama.

I’m trying Fennec (mobile) and I do use Firefox for desktop but I wanted to hear if they’re were other options besides Firefox and its extensions, for mobile.

Brave and Safari?? Since when was Safari a recommended browser? Safari’s default search engine is Google (even though they’re not apart of Chromium, they still use Google).

Never for mobile, but I used to use them for desktop as my search engine while my current browser is Firefox. Unfortunately theyve gotten so bad lately.

Since working on towards being fully degoogled, the Play Store is off limits. Exploring the different app stores ( Aurora Store, F-Droid, Droid-ify, SaveHaven, Zapstore, Appteka, etc.) Never knew so many different stores existed until finally starting exploring them.

Aurora Store has been helpful, especially in showing you what apps have trackers in them or not. Learning over time whatapls suit me.

Librewolf is pretty nice, that’s one of the engines I use for desktop.

I assumed that Firefox/Fennec was gonna be the main choice. That seemed to be the only browser that’s functional.

Hmm… I’m gonna try that one out and see if I like it.
