u/EnragedButterfly

I'm an avid long-time Brave user but sometimes I want to use other browsers for diagnosing issues, comparing behaviours etc. And also it's good to have something to fall back to in case of emergency.

I used to use Bromite but it's not been maintained for a while now. Currently, I have DDG installed but I don't find it reliable.

What other backup browsers do you keep/use and can recommend? Privacy-friendly, ideally available on F-Droid (but that's not an iron requirement; btw, why isn't Brave available there?).

Thanks.

So today I woke up to uStart.org being inaccessible, and I realised I'd been taking it for granted for long years and never prepared a backup plan for when this happens. I don't know if it's down temporarily or permanently, but I do want to look for an alternative/backup/replacement now, anyway. (Funnily enough, uStart was my replacement for iGoogle, the only useful service Google provided and then murdered).

What feeder I'm looking for:

• web-based
• configurable for sources and layout
• ideally FOSS
• good if privacy-focused (if not, that's OK, I'm taking care of my privacy myself)

What I'm checking out at the moment:

goodnews.click

Not sure if I can get it to display news the way I want it to, ie sources in separate blocks/frames containing a list of headlines+leads.

justrss.app

I like the simplicity and no-frills, but it's probably a bit too minimalist for me.

Suggestions, anyone?
