Can you suggest a better alternative browser for android?

IronFox

~~How does IronFox compare to LibreWolf?~~

Am dumb, missed the "for android" part.

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I use IronFox too, but I'd say depending on your goal even Fennec+uBlockOrigin is a pretty good setup.

If you want to go chromiun-based then Cromite (similar in scope to IronFox).

[–] Kiuyn@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago

Fennec and Cromite is always outdated compared to their upstream. If you care about security it is quite problematic. I recommend just install UBlock on Firefox then use Arkenfox, or Betterfox on it. It is a bit more complex to do on android, but it is possible. If anyone is interested here is a tutorial
