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?

    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.

    Just turn off studies, pocket and change default search.

    Not using Chromium is about preventing the WEI rollout.

    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.

    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.

    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.
