Speaking of which, user scripts. So useful at un-enshittifying the web. Or just personalizing it to scratch those little design itches that annoy you.

any good ones you can recommend?

Eg. I use this for facebook

https://github.com/zbluebugz/facebook-clean-my-feeds

Or eg. for BandCamp I wrote a script that hides the play progress bar so that I can actually focus on the music instead of how many seconds of music there are left.

oh nice -- for the second one, you can also use UBO's eyedropper tool to hide a component by CSS selector

Kiwi Browser is Android Chrome with desktop extension compatibility.

Firefox > Chrome

Honestly. I use it at home but atm too lazy to move everything again at work. :|

I'm referring to Android versions. No extensions allowed on Android Chrome, but Kiwi does. Android Firefox allows some small number of extensions, but IceRaven allows many more.

Others browsers, plural?

I guess Lynx exists...

Have you tried out LibreWolf? By default its a bit hard to use since it doesnt save passwords or history or cookies or anything, but you can turn all that on. Its a fork of firefox meant to be more privacy focused. You can still use your firefox account and everything im pretty sure.

Use IceRaven for Firefox with full extension compatibility.
