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!

Don't ask, test and answer for yourself. Do fingerprint and security checks and see what comes out best.

I use Brave and uBlock. It does better when tested than all the others, including Vanadium, which SHOULD be besting them all. Firefox has come in second but still can't stop it from bring fingerprinted regardless of what I do to it, that includes its spinoffs. Brave passes them all with its default config.

There's more in depth checks, but that easily covers the bases. If you're being positively fingerprinted, the rest is a moot point.

Why not using Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave?

[–] itsaj26744@programming.dev -3 points 11 months ago (5 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
