    “Fast” means “close” or “almost” in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.

        Genuinely don’t know of any others but Firefox. I do a little lynx sometimes for super sus stuff but it’s barely a browser…

          And yet it’s still using chromium, which means it’s still perpetuating all of the issues that Google is currently pushing. Things like Web Environment Integrity API, which is designed to make adblocking virtually impossible and make tracking easier than ever. Or Manifest V3, which is basically purpose-built to block adblocker extensions from running, by limiting the amount of control they have to edit webpages.

          Saying that the browser is fine because it respects privacy is a little bit like saying your stoner uncle is cool because he buys alcohol for you and the rest of your 12 year old friends. It’s not really something we should be praising.

            What are you even saying? You went off rail really fast I said there are chromium that respect privacy. There are other. And there are good browsers that don’t depend on chromium

              Chromium is compromised… not just Chrome itself. Anything downstream of Chromium is gets all of Google’s recent malware like adblock-prevention and web-DRM baked right in.

              No matter the downstream projects’ goals, they are still working from a compromised upstream source.

            Yet every single android user do not have a choice. Use a good chromium based browser OR use a chromium based webview PLUS Firefox gecko with security issues since Sandboxing is lightyears behind chromium. Get off your 🚬 🐎
