What is the best browser then, and why? I imagine some of you are using some next level obscure browsers. I'm a brave basic, but maybe it's considered crap nowadays. #asknostr

Im very happy with Brave, but it takes a deep dive into the settings to configure everything.
Dark mode
Privacy and shields settings (which I love)
Getting rid of the BAT shitcoinery and wallet .
Mullvad browser
Iron fox for mobile
I was wondering about mullvad, think I tried it for like a day. Does it block ads as default like brave?
i use waterfox,
good balance between built-in privacy and convinience + firefox based (not contributing to the chromium monopoly)
librewolf or even tor if you want more security/privacy
Modern browsers are awful. I just type out my HTTP requests by hand and read through the HTML that comes back.
Brave, it just works out of the box.
I wish Firefox would turn things around but I just don't think thats going to happen.
There is not a perfect answer and unfortunately, the better the browser for privacy the less convenient:
#### For Desktop:
- Most secure ones (some sites won't work):
1. TOR Browser
2. Mullvad Browser
- Less Secure but way more convenient, you need to add extensions to upgrade your security and tweak your settings to remove browser garbage and improve privacy. They both support IPFS.
1. Brave Browser (you can sync across devices without an email account, quite convenient), profiles are quite convenient as well. VPN built in is paid only.
2. Opera Browser (you need an email address to sync devices, use a burner), the VPN built in is decent and with a free tear from the box.
#### For Mobile
- Most secure:
1. TOR Browser
- A bit less secure, but all sites work, requires tuning settings and adding extensions to improve security, as TOR, the Browser is FOSS.
1. Fennec
- Less secure and no extensions possible, needs privacy tunning in the settings, quite convenient and fast browsers for mobile, they both support IPFS.
1. Brave Browser
2. Opera Browser
