Hi. I wasn’t sure where to post this, hopefully this is the right area. In lemmy’s opinion, what’s the best eco/environmentally friendly web browser? Basically low on resources, saves battery, etc. Private and secure is a bonus.

Firefox. You can disable most of its features which connect to something, it’s lightweight, truly Open Source and it has many add-ons to make it more accessible for daily browsing.
I honestly don’t get why it only has a market share of 8% or so. I guess its marketing is just pretty bad…

What is worse is that they take a 50% hit on privacy for a 3% gain of performance and the usability isn’t even any different…
If you read about the company then well… Mozilla foundation and their boss are not amazing, and payed up by google so that’s not ideal. If your own web browser by default uses search engine that promotes products of competitor, and they waste ton of money of some side gigs like AI which for sure doesn’t help. Oh, and also I believe that their ceo, or what is his position called, has one of the highest (or the highest) pay among UK’s non-profits, and it is for sure for some reason going opposite way of precent of users if you thrown that on a chart.
For me it was also wierd that Firefox is so nice and yet few people use it. Then I started reading and understood a bit better :p Since that time I’m looking for libre (but not orthodoxic) web browser for my mobile and pc. Sadly nothing did catch my eye for now.
I think Mozilla does more good than harm, especially when comparing them with any of their competitors.
I guess… but oh, they could be so much more.

Tbh, Firefox is more powerful than chrome
