I’ve been using Samsung Internet for a very long time, knowing it isn’t the best one for privacy. However, the user experience with it is, for me, unmatched by any other browser, including Vivaldi, Brave, and any Firefox forks.

So here’s what I’m looking for in a browser:

  • preferably FOSS

  • some control on privacy setting, less trackers/fingerprinting, etc. Doesn’t have to be the most hardened.

  • decent dark mode for web pages (Dark Reader is OK)

  • bottom search bar

  • bottom tabs bar rather than tab switcher

  • a quit button I don’t have to tap and scroll 2 times to find. Ideally it’d be placed on the main bottom bar

  • the quit button must clear cache and close all tabs, so I think it should be native and not an extension, but maybe I’m wrong?

Is there any browser that can give me that?

I’d love using Fennec as my main - and God knows I’ve tried multiple times to - but missing some of those feature made it hard for me to leave Samsung Internet behind. ATM I’m using both browsers BTW.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

          The user is on lemmy.world, where the comment is gathered by all other instances. It is visible for me on dbzer because that pulls from lemmy.world where it still exists.
          I assume your instance admins deleted it locally for your instance only. Who knows why. I suggest you move to a different place that doesn’t randomly moderate external sublemmys for local users only.

              The modlog on your instance has a few entries with “reason: automod”.
              These all aren’t present on the actual sub.
              Another example here is

              which still exists on lemmy.world.

              This post has less than 30% vote ratio and more than 50 votes. There might be a cutoff under which shit.just.works simply removes content.
              Which if true I gotta say kinda sucks. Maybe a remnant from the cp catastrophe?

              You better get used to visiting the home instance of posts whenever you see a removed comment you wanna read. Most apps should have a “source link” option, usually with the fediverse symbol, which should open the post on the “ownership” instance, so the one authoritative over what the comment looks like. My app (summit) even offers that per commend conveniently.
