I'm using chrome on phone, because it's basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It's a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)

I'm just using Brave (yes, I know but it doesn't annoy ME so I'm fine with it) which is just Chrome without the constraints.

Chromium is chrome without the constraints, Brave just has a different master holding the keys.

Not saying brave is bad btw, but chromium itself is literally the master branch for all of these different browsers

I did address that. I am fully aware of Brave's faults. But the benefits to me outweigh the negatives. Besides which, there isn't a browser in existence that doesn't collect data on you. Not unless you go ahead and compile your own. So I choose the one that is blatantly not following the rules and allows me some leeway to enjoy the web the way I like. It's also not the only browser on my phone. Chrome is obviously still here but so is Duckduckgo and I do have Firefox on here even though I never actually use it.

Chromite? Fennec? Iceraven? Lots of mobile browsers without telemetry on android.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Cromite and Fennec I've seen and don't trust their security at all. Better the devil you know and all that. But Iceraven is new to me and will have to look into that one. So thanks

Just remembered Mull. Have you heard of it?
