I moved all my FOSS apps to a separate tab on my phone to watch my collection grow lol
Privacy specifically:
Although technically all my FOSS apps are good for privacy (ex. organic maps, antennapod, feeder, simple gallery + rest of those, signal, mullvad vpn). I'll need time to list those though
Better than default Firefox, though something like Mull is on par, if not better in some areas.
Where Chromium browsers on Android still have the edge though is security. Process/tab/site isolation, stuff like that.
You should try chromite (an updated fork of bromite)
Great browser, though having proper uBlock Origin is something I just value a lot more.
And not wanting to be a part of the Chromium monopoly out of principle.
If you take a look at their list of features, you might grudgingly be willing to go without uBlock. It uses Adblock plus, and it allows you to Define your own custom block lists. I agree uBlock Origin is probably the better tool though.
I second this. I discovered it a few weeks back, and it's impressive and fast.
