Well I have been looking for brave replacement on Android. Brave has been slowly degrading itself for the past 2 years with shit ton of bloat being put in the browser.

I do have FF but for some unique sites, I have to use a chromium browser. Cromite (Bromite's Fork) seems interesting for now. I will wait for it to get more stable as things like auto-fill pass don't work and more.

Just use Bitwarden for passwords and auto-fill.

I'm using Firefox & Brave Search which is kinda ironic. I'm open to other suggestions if anybody can recommend anything close to Google and with good support for searches in other languages (I speak Polish)

I've been bouncing around mobile browsers for a while now trying to find one I'm ok with.

I started with Chrome, because it worked reliably and had a decent UI. Then as time went on and Google stopped not being evil, I switched to Brave. Chromium based, but thankfully not Google. The endless crypto shilling started to grate on me, and I started looking into the company, and decided I wanted out.

I gave Firefox a try because I love it on the PC. It didn't work. I love a lot about it, but there are a few excruciating things on Firefox mobile that I couldn't handle. Swiping to close tabs, jump to a new Google image, etc was frustratingly insensitive. The browser would freak out and crash the tab about 30% of the time I went landscape full screen on a video. I had to go back to Brave for a bit.

Now I'm trying out Vivaldi. Chromium based again, but no crypto shilling, and lots of customizability. I haven't heard anything about their CEO being a bigot, or selling data to other companies, but it could be happening. Being able to sync between PC and mobile is nice, and one of the reasons I went with brave earlier and tried Firefox.

Unfortunately no. Had moved from Google to brave. However I hear brave is just as bad so now moving to Firefox

Is there a better option on iOS?

Aside from Safari, there’s DuckDuckGo or Firefox. But iOS browsers are all built on Apple’s architecture
