I was using brave before and decided to switch to firefox but I did some research and turns out firefox collects way more by default than brave and I am switching back, what do you think?
I will also recommend Mull, it’s a hardened Firefox and can pretty much be described as Librewolf for Android
grapheneOS devs say Firefox is unsafe, but I think they say that for anything that isn’t Vanadium (their own browser)
Vanadium (their own browser)
which is just another chromium browser; kinda contra-productive of them.
Untill we get a gecko webview , you are using chromium based , whatever browser you are using. So yea the options are or use chromium or chromium plus Firefox.
As others have said: Mull (which is based on FireFox) + uBlock Origin is the way to go.
If for any reason you need a Chromium-based browser: Cromite.
Use Mull – it’s like LibreWolf, for your phone
Fennec works well
Just turn off studies, pocket and change default search.
Not using Chromium is about preventing the WEI rollout.
@spez I use Mull (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/) for Android and Librewolf for desktop. If you want the more convenient way to use Mull on Android, NeoStore (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/com.machiav3lli.fdroid/) is the way. They even have DivestOS official repo.
I don’t know how it stacks up but there’s also DuckDuckGo’s browser - it has the added benefit of ‘App Tracking Protection’ which stops other apps from collecting data in the background by using a local VPN. Crazy how much it blocks - even for apps that haven’t been launched at all recently.
Can you share what tracking data Firefox connects by default on Android?
Look into mullvad browser for a out of the box private browsing experience, no tweaking required.
It’s based on tor browser, based on Firefox.
Not available on Android.
Firefox has specific issues that chromium based browsers don’t. A big one is site isolation or keeping one website from accessing data from another. Those problems are worse on Android than desktop. I do use Firefox with uBlock on desktop but Brave on my phone.
