      I would love to use Firefox or IronFox on Android instead. However, it’s super insecure, so much so that even PG doesn’t recommend it. Not only that, they also run like shit, especially when used with a VPN. If it wasn’t for extension support, it would sadly just be inferior to chromium based browsers in every way, even for privacy. Firefox is the way to go on Linux, but on Android, wouldn’t recommend. Anyway, not that it’s going to matter much, if Google truly does start blocking use of GrapheneOS and lock down Android, then I’ll probably be switching to Droidian or Ubuntu Touch soon anyway

        That’s some sad nonsense. Their “criteria” is some non-specific shit indistinguishable from slop generated from a butt.

        Tor Browser is the only way to truly browse the internet anonymously.

        Oh fuck the fuck right off with this, hackerman.

        Firefox runs better and performs better than any bloated chrome-with-crypto-ads would even wishes to run. And unless we count as “has inbuilt plugin for Tor” as a security feature, and we will be insane to do that, there is no reason to suspect it’s somehow worse than chrome-but-our-ceo-simps-for-trump.

          I don’t even use Brave’s Tor feature. Also, I don’t like Brave’s bloat but tbf, you can completely disable them all in the settings which is what I did. Btw, you don’t think that Google’s CEO simps for Trump? I hate the politics of Brave’s CEO, but not like big tech’s agenda is any better and Mozilla is subservient to Google whether they like it or not. Not to mention their constant pushing for adding AI features onto the vanilla browser.

          I might try Cromite, but I’m hesitant to use web browsers maintained by one or two people since browsers constantly have security exploits that need patched quickly, something that a couple people can’t maintain on their own. If anything, I would use Vanadium if I had GrapheneOS but I’m stuck to LineageOS right now, lol

            And yet you linked a page, that you apparently didn’t read, that says that you can only get privacy by using tor, and Brave© (not sponsored by the way) is beez knees because it has Tor inbuilt.
