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.

    What about browser(s) that use the HOSTS file to block ads? The Classic browser does this, and has some nifty features baked in.

      Blocking ads can also be done independent from the browser, a level OS or Router. In Mobile you can use f.Exmple. Blokada, it blocks also the ads in the apps of the Mobile itself… For desktop there are also several alternatives, AdGuard, NextDNS, Hosts by Steven Black, etc.
