As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such thing. 2:Cromite or like it but with extension support like kiwi. 3:Privacy browser but just give assurance that google will not track me (as I have nonrooted device I have default webview).
I dont think that Vivaldi,Opera or brave stand anywhere when it is about privacy.
Help/advice/correct me!
Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.
You’ll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it’s easy as pie.
Hmm but On FF there are no way to see induvidual site data
You can delete cookies and data on a per-site basis, and advanced tracking protection prevents any nefarious websites from exploiting your browser. That’s all I care for.
In firefox android, I dont see any way to delete cookie+site data per site basis. Are u talking about chromium?
Cookies are partitioned in Firefox strict mode IIRC.
Mull works the same as Fennec, except it is hardended with patches from Tor and Arkenfox user.js. No real reason IMO to use fennec over Mull, whose developers also contribute to Fennec. Ghostery also changes your fingerprint, acting as one more data point. Mull has a whole bunch of configured flags to reduce fingerprinting, and many more to help with security (like disabling JIT).
Check here for some comparisons:
Following the pro-Mull comments here I’ve given it a try for a solid 48h, and just reverted back to Fennec. Mull is simply restricting the user experience too much, and I’m not willing to make the sacrifice.
My biggest annoyances:
- Websites don’t get information about dark mode from my device and revert back to light mode by default.
- Websites don’t get information about the system time on my phone and deliver content based on GMT+0.
- Some websites get wrong (or none?) information about the screen resolution and are unusable.
I’m aware that those details are suppressed to avoid fingerprinting, and while I believe that the intention is good, it makes using my phone more cumbersome, and that’s not something I’m willing to do. So my choices at this point are basically to keep using Mull and deactivate the advanced fingerprinting protection, or use Fennec as before.
Firefox resistant fingerprinting does the first 2 things, the last one is mobile partial letterboxing. All are anti fingerprinting techniques, but i understand how they may be restrictive. Maybe just add dark reader to have dark mode forced on websites, which technically can be fingerprinted but has a large userbase so idk.
Why not using Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave?
Because Mull is hardened Firefox without telemetry. Brave is Chromium based and the company is shady.
