For a time it was Fennic for addon support but now that Firefox mobile has addons are there better alternatives? Those of you on android, what’s your go to?

    Mull (from the DivestOS developers)

    But nowadays I’m using a Chromium based browser on my phone because Firefox on Android doesn’t support process isolation

      +1 for Mull.

      And yeah, on Android unfortunately you gotta choose between privacy (Firefox/Mull) or security (Chromium).

        Another for Mull and Cromite, here. I don’t really use Mull unless I’m looking for absolute compatibility with things like web games.

        Mull is reasonably secure for most of the people. Only very high targets need that kind of security

        Why not both, with Brave? I know their are kinda hated for making changes without warning the user, but it seems to be the closest thing to a fairly private and secure browser… Plus they have a whole team behind it, not just some guy in his basement (nothing against guys in their basements btw, it’s just harder to be on top of security issues when you’re one).

          It would still need an Android system/kernel exploit to further escape the system sandbox. It is an important hardening feature, but the browser isn’t completely insecure without it

          So what? You can go back to firefox for that reasoning unless you are a very very high target
