Is TWP "Translate Web Pages"? Android Firefox has a built-in feature for that, since like this version or so. ๐
Yep.
But I like that better as I can summon it by my own will and feel like it can translate some pages better than others (detection is a bit spotty)
How has your experience with Content-O-Matic been? I noticed mixed reviews.
Have you tested any alternatives for handling gdpr pop-ups?
I'm on "I still don't care about cookies". As opposed to Consent-o-matic, it doesn't attempt to opt-out, which makes it more reliable, but you want to use it together with Cookie AutoDelete.
uBlock has an "EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices" filter that you can enable on both desktop and mobile, which is probably enough for most people.
Sometimes it works but simetimes it still has issues.
Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.
firefox, because ublock origin and sync with desktop/laptop pc: same bookmarks on both and sending tabs to other device when i need to.
Firefox, especialy because of extensions like ublock, and sponsor block. But also because of features like total cookie protection. Where cross site 3rdparty cookies are sandboxed for each site.
Firefox, it has ublock origin
Firefox.
Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I'm pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.
Firefox. I ain't using anything else.
I'm using Firefox too rn. I was using Vivaldi but I decided that it was time to abandon chromium.
Mull plus uBlock and Sponsorblock addons.
Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use
I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that's what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I'm not sure what changes I'd like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head
-
when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can't be dismissed
-
Unable to disable chromecast
What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I'm always interested in hearing about other good ones.
uBlock Origin is the main one
Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile
I'd love to learn some more as well :)

Firefox. Everyone complains about it but it's never given me any problems. Adblock works great!
I"ve been using Fennec as my default.
Firefox for the add-ons, sync, and other features, but I have set Firefox Focus as the default that most apps open pages in. From there I can open pages in regular Firefox if I need or want to. Firefox Focus acts as a sort of default private browsing mode.
Mull (Firefox)
Mull (available on F-Droid)...it's like a hardened version of Firefox
I'll get killed here.
Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.
Mull & brave
I'm using Vivaldi.
I have to keep using Firefox for the mobile add-ons and because my account is synced with my desktop browser. I'm not willing to switch unless a better desktop/mobile pair comes along.
I like Vivaldi a lot
Vivaldi works so good on my phone it's insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.
I use Mull (hardened firefox) and Cromite (chromium but a bit hardened and an ad-blocker)
Iceraven (firefox fork that lets me do more with it) and Mull.
Went from Firefox to Brave, because the UX is better by a longshot. Also supports accountless sync.
firefox fork, iceraven. i got some issues in firefox that's why i'm using its fork
Can I ask what issues? I'm using Firefox but open to changing if there's better options!
i dont know if it's just me but since i updated firefox in february this year, if i close firefox with a tabs open, the tabs are gone too. i cant find the settings on it but in iceraven

Firefox for general use. TOR browser (Firefox) for everything else. Privacy, security, and ad blocking are paramount.
Kiwi browser! It's the best!! Built in ad blocker, privacy respecting, can use extensions, very customizable, and so much more!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser
Another Kiwi user here. Used it since it was the only real option to adblock on Android and haven't found a need to switch yet.

Mull with plenty of extensions and changes in about:config and JavaScript off by default.
Vanadium if on GrapheneOS if more features needed (i.e. JavaScript), barring that, Mulch appears to be equivalent.
