    Do you use Firefox on mobile as well? I use the DDG browser and don’t whether I should switch. Haven’t heard what exactly is wrong with it, yet.

      I use Firefox almost exclusively on android and have nothing but glowing praise for it, it’s a solid experience, don’t know what people are referring to when saying the DDG browser is shifty though

      Firefox for Android is great, and after some initial teething problems, it’s been solid for a long time.

      I remember seeing on reddit a story about a guy who created something and I think suggested DDG stole some of his work and packaged it up as their own. I cannot find it anymore, but remember seeing it at the time and it seemed convincing (even though I was using DDG search and was a fan of their work). I still use them, but not for everything and I remain skeptical. FF is open source, and has been pretty trustworthy for a long time imho.

      Just a note, the last time I used DDG browser on android while on VPN, the browser had some IP address leak. Not sure whether they fixed it.
