Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?

    Ironfox again.

    Ironfox with uBlock Origin is far superior to Brave.

    I also use monocles browser. a simple browser, I like that java and cookies are turned off and you can activate them with a button on individual sites.

    I would never ever use Brave or any chrome fork.

    I’m not a fan of the Brave web browser and do not recommend it. Chromium codebase is always unsafe.

    Brave talks up how privacy and security focused they totally are, and it’s mostly hot air for their user base of infosec mall ninjas.

    Brave blocked ads, then they replaced the ads with their own ads. Brave set up a weird cryptocurrency scam, the BAT token. Brave hijacked affiliate links. I do not consider Brave a trustworthy organisation.

    my browser is faster than your browser, fantasy penis envy,

    and not cubensis penis envy.

    why are people so fixated on browser speeds,

    A millisecond is imperceptable to the human eye.

    can you type faster on an android keyboard than the page loads. NO!

    Its all BS, how do you deternmine that one browser is faster than another.

      It’s like people driving fast, risking lives for what, 5min at the end of the day? Pointless metrics from r brainless users. Render fast, think slow.

        Hey utopiah

        It does seem pointless to me that people get hung up on browser loading speeds.

        Its like that old Bruce lee quote from Enter the Dragon:

        Don’t Concentrate On The Finger Or You Will Miss All That Heavenly Glory.

          Indeed, bet it’s a trick from Google to promote its browser but pushing whatever rsukts it wanted to better SEO, i.e classical monopoly trick of leveraging one domination to force another onto captive users/consumers.
