MODERATORS
From https://divestos.org/pages/browsers : While WebView browsers utilize the Chromium WebView, they cannot offer any per-site process isolation. Using any WebView-based browser is largely not recommended as they are inherently limited due to the WebView merely being a widget for adding web content to an app and are not intended to create a full browser experience. TLDR: Don't use WebView browsers.
I have readed it earliar but do not see any much efficient alternative. Encrypted backup,nice interface to manage domains and simple ui
Well, your original question in the OP was "how secure is to go this way?" You've been given a similar answer of "not very and not recommended" by multiple people. Starting to sound like you just want assurance and will continue to use your current setup.
Sorry for that behaviour and thanks for bigBro advice. I think I should switch to cromite as it give per site isolation. Btw Ff/cromite?
To me fluff doesn't mean much if the browser is insecure. But you do you.
