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!

I use Firefox focus for random browsing, normal Firefox for general browsing that I want to keep the history of, and Mull for anything where I want to absolutely minimize tracking / enhance privacy.

Do u use FF sync?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not usually, I don't find it necessary most of the time. I have a separate pw manager (bitwarden) and if I need to share tabs I just message myself

Trying to do same (with keepass and taking bookmarks in .md) BTW what u do for bookmarks?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I personally like to keep them separate as I use the different devices for different purposes. I don't really ever have more than the visible row of bookmarks at any one time. If I need to save something I'm not using often, I'll archive the page. Like for recipes in particular I have a directory filled with them.

@itsaj26744 @Daxtron2 I use Tor browser for most the stuff, DuckDuckDuck browser with tor/vpn for the things which aren't supported in Tor browser.
