After a lot of discussion i think I’ll totally shift to Chromium based Browsers (on android side not desktop) I was using both gecko and chromium Browsers on my phone. So I need some suggestion to choose a chromium Browser . It should be open source and privacy respecting. Any recommendations ??

While chromium based browsers are more secure than firefox based browsers on Android, they are not as privacy friendly as firefox based browsers due to availability of unlock origin. Adblocking is superior using unlock.

For the average user, privacy is more important and firefox based browsers have enough security IMO.

This push for “secure browsers” (unspecified attack vectors) sounds like a good way to discredit privacy-friendly options and chrome alternatives. This gotta be a coincidence, all these “Muh security” out of nowhere. It can’t possibly have anything to do with manifest v3, right?

CalyxOS patches Chromium for security, you may use CalyxOS builtin browser

I’m going to be that guy and probably end up with downvotes. Brave browser. I know Eich is a shitbag but damn the browser is really solid. Adblocking and privacy are front and center and built in, no addons needed. I can think of maybe 5 times in the years I’ve used it that I had to use a backup browser.

I would like to use something else to not support him, but I have yet to find a turnkey browser that doesnt require tons of addons, compatibility issues or the quality of syncing across platforms that Brave.

Is that something you’re worried about? The link says there would need to be both a browser exploit and a system exploit on top of that to get out of the sandbox, which seems pretty unlikely to happen when running uBlock on a mobile browser.

It seems like one of those things where it’s not as secure but it really doesn’t matter in reality.
