Browsers

Firefox focus scored the highest, but lacks basic functionality tools like tabs or enabling your Mozilla account. It also has google s the default search engine, but that can be changed.

Bookmark export improvements – Vivaldi Android Browser snapshot 3918.4

@vivaldi_browser I'm seeing really odd behavior with Vivaldi on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. All the sub-windows (e.g., Settings) are just blank, although sometimes you'll get a glimpse of a text field.

It’s not yet perfect but it’s a huge improvement for firefox. Firefox’ ui development stalled for years.

TL;DR: Mozilla has a new CEO and a new mission: transform Firefox into an AI browser. That has run into some snags, as Firefox users don’t seem that interested in AI. Mozilla is forging ahead, utilizing deceptive patterns (previously known as dark patterns) to nag and annoy people into enabling AI features. You can see this in the introduction of Link Previews, an extremely invasive anti-feature that exists solely to push AI into your experience.

For A Better Web – 2025 review

Hello. I am a Firefox user, and everyone I know tells me that using Firefox on Android is not secure. What are they basing this claim on? I have tried using Chrome, but I always go back to Firefox because it is the only open-source browser that allows me to pin favourites to the home page and because the display of websites adapts very well to the chosen size. Which FOSS browser derived from Chromium allows you to choose your favourite websites on the home page?

OpenAI says prompt injections will always be a risk for AI browsers with agentic capabilities, like Atlas. But the firm is beefing up its cybersecurity with an "LLM-based automated attacker."

Why Vivaldi won’t follow the current AI trend?

The lack of self awareness in the title is astonishing.

TL;DR: The big tech AI company LLMs have gobbled up all of our data, but the damage they have done to open source and free culture communities are particularly insidious. By taking advantage of those who share freely, they destroy the bargain that made free software spread like wildfire.

LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don’t like generative AI.

That was complete bullshit, of course. Yes, I absolutely branded Mozilla.org that way for the subtext of “these free software people are all a bunch of commies.” I was trolling.

Minor update (6) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 7.7

Just thought this was interesting. Someone sent me a link to a Bluesky post (not about Waterfox), and when I looked at the post I was surprised to see Waterfox on the trending sidebar. It is, of course, because of Mozilla’s recent talk about embracing AI.

Mozilla is in a tricky position. It contains both a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the internet a better place for everyone, and a for-profit arm dedicated to, you know, making money. In the best of times, these things feed each other: The company makes great products that advance its goals for the web, and the nonprofit gets to both advocate for a better web and show people what it looks like. But these are not the best of times. Mozilla has spent the last couple of years implementing layoffs and restructuring, attempting to explain how it can fight for privacy and openness when Google pays most of its bills, while trying to find its place in an increasingly frothy AI landscape.
