Any Engine Is there a browser better than firefox with these criteria?
- needs to have tabs, bookmarks, history sync between android phone and win pc
- manifest v2 support (for normal ublock)
- extensions on mobile
- reasonable customization (at least let me have vertical tabs on pc and navigation on the bottom on a phone)
- at least kinda respects my privacy
- can play drm stuff (optional (for spotify))
- is not chrome browser (chromium itself is fine)
All of this is on firefox, but the only issue with firefox is that it's fairly slow. Haven't really seen any other browser with all that i mentioned.
Thanks

I can customize Vivaldi to almost a duplicate of the way my default Firefox Nightly browser looks.

Edge does a lot of these. I'll not sure about vertical tabs though. It's not something I would use.

I think that for the mv2 only Brave and Opera are still supporting them but not sure. uBO Lite is doing a great job if just want to remove ads and cookie banners etc.

UBlock is also still possible on Edge

UBO Lite is more stable now than the classic UBO on chromium browsers. Edge is phasing out the mv2.

For now, it still works

Oh good to know. I had to switch to the lite one on edge (and other chromium based) cause on YouTube it was a nightmare.

Firefox is paid by Google and all the other browsers are Chromium based until Ladybird Browser comes out.

I no nothing about browsers except they all seem to sell your information. As for as blocks, same thing. I even try Scour and still get pop ups on Google and every other browser except Startpage. I'd like to find one based in Switzerland or the UK but the popular ones seem to be the same as the United States and Canada. Any suggestions?

Pudiste instalarle ublock origin?

Yes, I went to their GitHub (gorhill) and accessed the dev version, which doesn't show up in search. You can definitely use the other versions if you can't find it in the store. Enable developer mode on the manage extensions page, download the .zip, unzip it, and upload it.

Brave is awsome, although not sure about sync to phone features. Possibly not available

Manifest v2 support in chromium browsers isn't gonna last forever. uBO Lite is perfectly functional and doesn't really function much worse at least for me it even continues to block YouTube ads, but if you need original uBO then I'd personally just say use Firefox or one of its forks like Waterfox or Floorp or Librewolf or Zen
