Lemmy helping Lemmy World browse the web (lemmy.world)

I thought it would be helpful for all the good people of Lemmy World if we shared our browser setups.

I'm mostly a laptop user when it comes to the Internet. I've been using Firefox with the Ublock Origin addon and it makes browsing the web so much less ad filled.

For youtube specifically I've had the best results with Chrome and an extension called Clear Skies for ad skipping.

Share you own browser setup. What do you use to surf the wild waves of the web to avoid the sharks and the sharp rocks?

PiHole+:

 * Firefox with uBO, Privacy possum, Sponsorblock as primary, BypassPaywallsClean
 * Brave with shields up and fingerprint resist for when I need chrome, with BypassPaywallsClean and privacy badger.

When a site blocks or is otherwise slow on FF, I use Brave. When a site is slow or blocks brave, I use FF. Brave really stays on top their YT ad blocking so they're a good fallback even if I'm selling my soul to them a bit.

I regularly blow away bookmarks in Brave and reimport from FF to keep all my browsers synced.

If a site doesn't work in FF, then it doesn't work in Brave, I'll open it in vanilla Edge to sanity check but I generally don't open edge otherwise.
