I use Firefox focus for random browsing, normal Firefox for general browsing that I want to keep the history of, and Mull for anything where I want to absolutely minimize tracking / enhance privacy.

Do u use FF sync?
Not usually, I don't find it necessary most of the time. I have a separate pw manager (bitwarden) and if I need to share tabs I just message myself
Trying to do same (with keepass and taking bookmarks in .md) BTW what u do for bookmarks?
I personally like to keep them separate as I use the different devices for different purposes. I don't really ever have more than the visible row of bookmarks at any one time. If I need to save something I'm not using often, I'll archive the page. Like for recipes in particular I have a directory filled with them.
@itsaj26744 @Daxtron2 I use Tor browser for most the stuff, DuckDuckDuck browser with tor/vpn for the things which aren't supported in Tor browser.
I think you might try to bite off more than you can chew here. You keep insisting that you want to somehow see the data that's saved on your device. Why exactly do you want to inspect the local cache of those sites? What do you expect the benefit to be? And what's more: what do you expect such a local cache to look like?

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.
You'll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it's easy as pie.

Mull is similar to Fennec except with some privacy tweaks. Generally Mull is better.

You don't need Ghostery anymore
Ghostery sends like every website you visit to their servers. Its opt-out and Ublock origin is better anyways. Firefox really has a problem of not marking bad addons

Not a complete answer, but I stand behind Privacy Browser. The dev has a great blog explaining how the browser works:
https://www.stoutner.com/webview/
https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/core-privacy-principles/
https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/permissions/
I appreciate the transparency of the Dev and I am looking forward to the long-teased 4.x series that will ship with its own webview.
If you decide not to use it, keep it on your watchlist.
Seconded. It's my default browser and the amount of control it provides is fantastic.
Its is in obtanium will use it as disposable browser when ready.

Really liking Vivaldi so far. The baked in adblocking and encrypted syncing is neat. Everybody also always recommends Brave as "good out of the box" where you can use it straight away without any tinkering...
