Nice little collection of privacy tools
(start.me)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Hmm, Brave browser (on mobile)? I thought that Brave is generally dismissed because of their silly crypto stuff, affiliate link controversy, and their CEO's poor stances on, well, lots of things. Any other mobile browser recommendations?
Otherwise, there are some omissions (Mullvad VPN) but this looks like a great list. Thanks for sharing.
For security, Vanadium (only available on GrapheneOS. For privacy, Tor. Most everything else falls between on the scale.
There is an interesting new contender: WebLibre but it's still in alpha state.
IronFox and Fennec. Both are hardened Firefox.

I still use ironfox because of uBlock and dark reader. Cromite is also good.
I mean firefox is not really usable on android, at least for me. While Brave has a bad reputation, there isn't any better than Brave, at least for me.
Firefox on Android requires a LOT of RAM because afaik it is the only modern mobile browser that truly implements its own web engine, rather than piggybacking on Android System WebView.
It ran like crap on my low end Galaxy but I've had no issue with it since switching to a Pixel 8. If you're looking for speed over features while still being decently private, Firefox Focus is a nice simple choice, though it lacks most features of a modern browser.
If you're looking exclusively for privacy-hardening though, nothing can really beat IronFox except maybe Vanadium (but that's GrapheneOS exclusive), and IronFox is the only one with extensive support for browser extensions.
