- Enable developer mode on your Android phone.

I thought I share this here for people who like the UI of Firefox but hate it’s performance and like chrome performance but hate its UI.
In case you wanted to use any web apps, you can use Native Alpha app.
Please comment if you know of any light(under 20mb) browsers that has good UI, to improve my current setup even further.

The best way to browse on your Phone is on Firefox with its massive collection of extensions (that arent neutered to google’s liking).
Firefox’s not perfect or the fastest, but I can wait a few ms for it to be actually useful.
What the fuck is Berry Browser? I just looked it up and it’s some closed-source spyware bullshit. Fuck this post. Mods delete this trash
A fork of the open-source abandonware Yuzu Browser. Both have a highly customizable interface.
This is a incredibly hot take

That’s pretty specific. What kinds of things are you doing that are impacting performance? Never had that issue with any mobile browser
Why not use Privacy Browser? Its Foss and has many settings to limit the amount of information being sent by default. Firefox may not be super fast but still does the job much better with addons like Ublock-origin Also, most people do not hate the UI. Rather the tracking from google.
I would also be careful with using closed webview based apps since you won’t know if they sellout untill a ad update gets pushed to you. Here’s a post by Privacy web author about one such email: https://www.stoutner.com/stoutner-will-never-sell-privacy-browser-to-a-scummy-company/
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard/
isn’t privacy browser too using webview?
Yeah, but its Foss and also unlike berry browser limits the amount of requests and information being sent to minimal at the cost of even breaking function by default.
I recommend firefox or fennec from fdroid but you can use Privacy browser if you want a webview version.
it is. I remember the dev talking about releasing their own fork of the webview that’s privacy oriented.
This was years ago. Hasn’t been released yet.
I will give this a shot.
