no baked-in trackers/analytics, No VC backing, Big Tech parent, or crypto schemes. aggressive ad/tracker blocking, fingerprinting resistance, working YouTube ad blocking, extension support, smooth Android + Linux use.
What’s your daily driver under these constraints, and what tradeoff did you accept?
I run Librewolf on desktop Debian and CachyOS. As for android, I run stock Vanadium on GrapheneOS, yet it does get repetitive clearing cookies and cache as often as I do. For YouTube content, I have a NewPipe install to handle that. These setups work well for my needs.
If you want the full privacy desktop, QubesOS is likely the best you can get as a daily driver, with TailsOS being best non-daily driver for extreme conditions.
All in all, once you get settled into a routine with privacy, things don’t really seem so inconvient. For most things, it feels the switch is far more difficult than anything else of it.
Librewolf for desktop linux, Ironfox for Android
IronFox fit the bill? Or would you consider that to have Mozilla as a big tech parent? Its more-so based off Mull (which is indeed based off Firefox). Its the best option I’ve found for Android, my daily driver, and checks all your other constraints.
