I’m looking for something like Librewolf which I’m using daily on my desktop but for Android.
Any reason Tor browser hasn’t been mentioned yet itt?
Not recommending it, as such, just wondering it ir’s been shown to have any issues, as it’s been my main browser for years.
You’re using it not for only tor connections?
You mean not only for .onion sites?
Yes.
Of course, I do use a a clearnet browser for sites on which I have profiles, but eg. YouTube works well on TB, better than proxied NewPipe actually.
CloudFlare turnstiles aren’t too bad, and in any case, this is supposed to help with that, I understand:
Though yesterday I figured, it may be a cool idea to have Tor Browser without Tor. Ie. retain all antifingerprinting of it, just remove the actual proxying. I don’t see a reason not to offer that, and it may help for when one has a paid vpn or whatever. Wonder if it’s been made.
Edit: or better yet, permit it per-tab or per-domain.
IronFox
Thanks, this is what I was looking for
Why do you think GrapheneOS uses Chromium as a base for its browser, Vandium?
Its because, unfortunately, Firefox on Android is lacking in security relative to Chromium.
I use Firefox based browsers on my desktop, but for Android, I mainly stick to chromium-based ones, such as Cromite and Vandium.
But, if you’re insistent on using Firefox on Android, then IronFox.
You’re talking about security, are you also talking about privacy?
I that depends on how much privacy you lose when your browser can’t properly sandbox and provide site isolation.
A fair question to be asked: does sandboxing really matter if you view all sites on the one-origin-at-a-time and incognito-only basis? This way there’s no way for one site to escape its sandbox and get into another site’s cookies (because there are no another site’s cookies) and there’s also no way (theoretically) to escape the app sandbox imposed by Android itself and mingle with another app’s data, right?
Which is why I have my Firefox based browsers on Android set to only open up private windows.
But that’s not how I normally use web browsers, so yeah, sandboxing does matter if you have more regular browsing habits, such as not using incognito all the time.
fennec is the best ff fork on android, imho.
