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!

    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.

      1. The user agent is “Privacy Browser,” which is not very private (it makes the browser stick out for servers) and it causes websites like DuckDuckGo to render in desktop mode
      2. Speaking of desktop mode, it’s enabled by default?!
      3. Speaking of DuckDuckGo, you have to add it manually (Google and Bing are included but DuckDuckGo is not)
      4. The tab bar takes up a lot of screen real estate, but I can only see two tabs at once

      The browser also makes choices like disabling JavaScript and deleting data on exit, which are at least privacy choices. I’m not sure what the
