Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers
I’m looking for a privacy-focused, open-source Android browser. Here are some options I’ve found:
- IronFox
- recommended by LibreWolf
- Fennec
- no repo
- Waterfox
- Vanadium
- only available on GrapheneOS
- better security
- iceraven
- most stars
- bromite
- no longer maintained
- Bromite has a fingerprint randomization and Vanadium doesn’t. But Vanadium has better security if you use Graphene. So yeah, for privacy Bromite might be better
- cromite
- Bromite fork
- brave
Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.
EDIT:
- in terms of popularity, privacy and functionality I guess the best choices are iceraven and cromite
- iceraven based on firefox
- cromitebased on chromium
few questions
- What is the difference between IronFox, Fennec, Waterfox and iceraven?
Hardly asking for a diagram. But outside of Tor, what do the others offer over Firefox really? So it’s a valid question.
You think your OS doesn’t see what your doing in Tor or any other app?
Android seeing where you’re going is by design, there’s no circumventing that.
