NOTE: This list is now deprecated and unmaintained since Mozilla has officially turned evil
- Mozilla Firefox - a [bloated](http://blog.ffextensionguru.com/2015/06/20/mozilla-making-firefox-bloated/) but versatile popular modern browser with nice user interface. Unfortunately, after Firefox 42 Mozilla has instituted unwelcome changes in how addons work entering the already familiar territory of "walled gardens". Please see the [forks](#firefox-clonesforks) chapter to review your alternatives.
