Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?

Ironfox again.
Ironfox with uBlock Origin is far superior to Brave.
I also use monocles browser. a simple browser, I like that java and cookies are turned off and you can activate them with a button on individual sites.

I would never ever use Brave or any chrome fork.
I’m not a fan of the Brave web browser and do not recommend it. Chromium codebase is always unsafe.
Brave talks up how privacy and security focused they totally are, and it’s mostly hot air for their user base of infosec mall ninjas.
Brave blocked ads, then they replaced the ads with their own ads. Brave set up a weird cryptocurrency scam, the BAT token. Brave hijacked affiliate links. I do not consider Brave a trustworthy organisation.

my browser is faster than your browser, fantasy penis envy,
and not cubensis penis envy.
why are people so fixated on browser speeds,
A millisecond is imperceptable to the human eye.
can you type faster on an android keyboard than the page loads. NO!
Its all BS, how do you deternmine that one browser is faster than another.
From slowest to fastest, the results were as follows:
Zen Browser: 2.20 seconds
LibreWolf: 2.16 seconds
Chromium: 1.95 seconds
Firefox: 1.93 seconds
Arc: 1.81 seconds
Microsoft Edge: 1.31 seconds
Safari: 1.29 seconds
Thorium: 1.23 seconds
Brave: 1.17 seconds
Opera: .81 seconds
Chrome: .70 seconds
It’s like people driving fast, risking lives for what, 5min at the end of the day? Pointless metrics from r brainless users. Render fast, think slow.
Hey utopiah
It does seem pointless to me that people get hung up on browser loading speeds.
Its like that old Bruce lee quote from Enter the Dragon:
Don’t Concentrate On The Finger Or You Will Miss All That Heavenly Glory.
Indeed, bet it’s a trick from Google to promote its browser but pushing whatever rsukts it wanted to better SEO, i.e classical monopoly trick of leveraging one domination to force another onto captive users/consumers.
Not to be overly pedantic but Java != JavaScript
hey Hexarei
I know, a fatal error on my part
pedantic is OK
Check out IronFox https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox
It’s the revived Mull browser.
Can you help me understand what the feature difference is between ironFox and Firefox focus with an ad blocker enabled?
Vanadium
Gecko based browsers have worse sandboxing than chromium based browsers on android. But for privacy I think the best would be Ironfox or vanadium however vanadium only runs on Graphene os. Chromite is probably a good next best option.
Been using Fennec for a while with no problems at all.
Ironfox, Firefox and tor browser
I usefirefox and didnt notice a difference in speed with chrome…
The differences of speed between current browsers are minimal, it’s more the question how fast you can work with it for your daily tasks, the handling and features it has. Start and page loading time depends more on other than on the browser (bandwidth, memory of the device, weight of the page you visit,…)
It’s either IronFox or Brave. Both are valid choices. Try them both
Another vote for IronFox
I use Brave and also Iceraven with UB origin.

I use Vivaldi, synced with Desktop. It’s pretty private, but more important for privacy is the search engine you use. It don’t make sense if you use an privacy respecting browser using Google for searches. Anyway it’s important to look the permissions which every app has in the settings of your phone and blockig those which have nothing to do with its function. Also a good idea is to install InviZible Pro in your Phone
PrivacyBrowser is a really good browser in my opinion. But I cant do an analysis on its privacy.
I will add that I love how they handle bookmarks.
Brave and DuckDuckGo because they’re cross-platform and give you the option to sync your bookmarks.
DuckDuckGo has Duck Player which I use if I need to watch something on YouTube, I have it set to open in a new window and no ads.
I like Brave because it’s fast and the search is fairly accurate. You can add a video to it’s Playlist for later viewing. Brave gives you the share option to Copy Clean Link.
I used (and loved Firefox) until they revoked their promise of not selling user data and seems sluggish for the past several months, but I still use Firefox Focus.
I use both android and iOS which is why I prefer cross-platform software.
I used DuckDuckGo until they added AI slop. I now use Floorp, a Mozilla fork based in Japan, and Tor Browser for links. I try to go outside the US for software as much as possible.
