    Add cromite (the main bromite fork) which is on Windows and Android, and Mull by DivestOS (like arkenfox for Android). If you want to make a mobile section I would recommend Mull, Cromite, Fenix (fdroid). The thing with privacy browsers is they differ from security centric browsers. Vandium and Mulch are chromium security browsers for Graphene and Divest respectively, Cromite is a privacy chromium browser with good security as well. Ungoogled is designed as a drop in replacement for vanilla Chromium, and has custom flags for hardenning that must be enabled manually.

      Will Cromite be able to keep blocking ads when Manivest v3 roll out? I currently refuse to use Chromium browsers and I am trying to run Mull on my newly acquired Pixel with Graphene, but I’ve been having a few issues with it (constant crashes and such). I am aware the Graphene team doesn’t recommend Gecko based browsers but Vanadium is a nono for me since there’s no ad blocking on it so I am really struggling on which mobile browser to use.

        Iirc Manifest v3 effect extensions. Chromium mobile doesnt support extensions in the first place (except kiwi which isnt great for privacy). Cromite uses imported blocklists in the settings and therefore should be alright.

    Pretty sure you’re getting downvoted because people hate Brave and you seem to have put it at the top of your list. People hate the company and founder (with good reason) and the scammy crypto aspect. However, the browser consistently gets top tier ratings on it’s privacy implementation (from a technical perspective). I personally have mixed feelings about it. If you MUST use a chromium based browser (and sometimes I must) Brave is an obvious choice (again, from a technical perspective).

    For Android there’s the very originally named Privacy Browser (on F-Droid) and I recently found Iceraven (installed via Optanium).

    small updates: added a bit of description to bromite and cromite, icons changed brave’s title to say “stinky doo doo” (😔), added “contact” stuff on the bottom of the page
