Vanadium still blocks ads/malware successfully. Probably brave as well (I don't have it installed, I can't verify it myself)

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.
It works perfectly fine on my degoogled old phone. I do run microG so that might be the case but I've not had any issues with it.
Get the APK from moz
I use one of the forks on f-droid.

Unfortunately my work machine has an ARM Snapdragon Elite (it’s way better than it has any business being) and the ARM version of Firefox does not yet seem to play well with Yubikey certificates. I tried every which way of ARM and x86-64 Yubikey certificate drivers but none resolved my issues. I believe FIDO2 works, but some of our applications still require certificate authentication.
Still works just fine on Vivaldi. Onlt problem is every few updates they break it and it needs to be reinstalled. I've lost a bit of faith in Vivaldi for doing this. It's one thing if they can't code around the chromium core to allow it, but since it still works and the updates are just disabling it I think that's pretty dirty.

Less incentive to fight it for website developers.
