As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such thing. 2:Cromite or like it but with extension support like kiwi. 3:Privacy browser but just give assurance that google will not track me (as I have nonrooted device I have default webview).

I dont think that Vivaldi,Opera or brave stand anywhere when it is about privacy.

Help/advice/correct me!

Why not using Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave?

[–] itsaj26744@programming.dev -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

U did not readed it well. As firefox on android do not have sandboxing and segregation things It cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc. Firefox due to same reason cannot tell about WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE.I need to know that info so I am asking for any solution but as per what I know there are no solutions

Sorry for poor english

This makes no sense. Firefox with noscript and "forgetmenot" can selectively allow Javascript per domain, and to save cookies.

This cookie quick manager is probably an extension you want.

This is a custom addon collection, I will add cookie quick manager if its missing

Thanks this is exact thing I was looking for. A bit more explanation

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Use noscript and ublock to control what gets to your browser and what gets executed there. Noscript is so underrated, its literally the best way to remove tracking. All these superficial blockers cant reach manual opt-in for javascript, selected by origin.

Forgetmenot replaces firefox desktop functionality, but does even more.

Out of context but do u use ff sync or not?

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Yes its great. Biggest reason why Chromium is not an option, apart from UserChrome.css, user.js, many addons and an addon store not by google not requiring an account
