Gecko based browsers have worse sandboxing than chromium based browsers on android. But for privacy I think the best would be Ironfox or vanadium however vanadium only runs on Graphene os. Chromite is probably a good next best option.
How is Ironfox better than Chromite if it has worse sandboxing?
Just as an example chromite uses adblock plus where as Ironfox uses unlock. And sandboxing whilst has it's benefits for privacy is more of a security feature.
