Honest question. Are there any FOSS Android browsers? I use Mull or SmartCookieWebPreview. Even Mull gets the 'the upstream code is not free' on F-Droid.
Obviously Chromium is out, Webviews are just a wrapper for Chromium.
Does that leave anything?
Be brave
Brave, you mean Chromium with crypto?
That's debunked
I need less info.
It is not Chromium?
There is no crypto?
Degoogled chromium. There is no crypto. It is a lie spread by google in the fear of losing marketshare.
I've been using Brave since it was based on Muon. It has absolutely always been about crypto and advertising. The goal was, and still fundamentally is, to eventually bring private advertising to the masses and give everyone (the ad viewer, Brave, and the advertiser) a bigger cut.
Do you mean ungoogled chromium? It has been abandoned for almost two years. Honestly, what are you talking about? You say brave, then you say 'degoogled chromium'. They are nit the same, neither is a viable FOSS option currently.
