    With all the social media corps going full ham on advertising, I’m going to make the switch from Chrome to Firefox with ad-blocking add-ons. However, I’m at a crossroads since there are many variations ranging from the official Firefox app to Firefox Nightly and even Fennec or Fenix.

    Any recommendations?

      If you are trying to switch from Chrome, then just use regular Firefox with the ublock extension (and maybe some of the other privacy extension officially supported). If you are a “power user” and want modify/access about:config and other settings then you need Firefox Nightly. The Fennec and Fenix (iirc) are just stripped down Firefox that either only have private mode or additional settings for privacy (that are already present in regular version, but way not be enabled by default). Hope that helps.

      I liked IceRaven, but it’s not regularly updated anymore. I would go with Firefox Nightly, since that lets you install any extension you want (through an arduous process), where regular Firefox only lets you install add-ons on Mozilla’s approved whitelist.
