Google did it again.

    Unfortunately, on Android, Chromium based browsers are SIGNIFICANTLY more secure than any other browser framework. I recommend Mulch and Cromite.

    Again, this is ANDROID specific. Everywhere else, I use FF based browsers.

      You can’t just say that FF on Android is less secure and not give any sources for that claim.

      I mean, you can, but that makes your claim not have any value.

        I wasn’t trying to argue about, or even educate people, on the specifics. I was just making an objective statement of fact. Anyone is free to do their own research to validate my assertion, disprove it, or just ignore it.

        But, okay, I can provide a good entry point into the topic with a good write-up on Android browsers from the developer of a security focused ROM, DivestOS:

        https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

        *He’s also the developer of two good Android hardened browsers: Mulch (Chromium) and Mull (FF/Gecko).

        Edit: I also recommend NOT using Google’s official Android Chrome browser, just forks that are based around Chromium e.g. Mulch and Cromite.

      I’m having problems finding unpatched vulnerabilities on Android ff, could you expand on what makes it less secure?
