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!

How? It's not on F-Droid. Play store is obviously not an option for a person, who cares about privacy.

Why not go directly to the source?

Imagine you have lots of toys, like your favorite games and cool apps on your tablet or phone. If you had to update them manually, it's like having to go to each toy, take it apart, fix anything that's broken, and then put it back together every time there's a new version or improvement.

Now, think about having a special toy store for your toys. When you go to the store, they already know about any new cool features or fixes for your toys. All you have to do is ask the store to update your toys, and they make sure all your toys get the latest and greatest stuff without you having to do anything.

So, having a store for apps is like having a magical place where all your toys can be fixed and improved automatically, without you having to do the hard work of updating each one by yourself. It saves you time and makes sure your toys are always the best they can be!

I'm glad that wizards keep pushing boundaries of magic.

Yeah, you loose auto updates but just saying there is a way if you don't want to use other options.
